The SportsGrad Podcast #256: Meet the SailGP staff on the ground in Saint-Tropez
Friends, we’re not in the studio today… Instead this podcast comes to you from our French correspondent (hello, Reuben!) on the ground at SailGP to find out exactly what sort of jobs pull it together.
If you’ve ever dreamed of working in F1, allow us to expand your ambitions to racing on water.
SailGP is one of the most exciting and fastest-growing sporting leagues in the world.
Like the F1, the SailGP organisers and teams travel the world racing in glamorous locations, none more so than Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera.
This ep is a collection of bite-sized interviews with over a dozen staff working across Media Operations, Communications, Water Safety, Performance Analytics, Marketing, Social Media, Operations and Boat Building!
By the end you’ll have a well-rounded view of the roles involved in this incredible sport.
It’s high-speed, high-tech, high-sustainability, and if you love to travel, this is a dream organisation for you!
