General Manager Recruitment At Thirsk And Catterick Racecourses Underway


International Racecourse Management LTD (IRM) manages the operations of four, independent Yorkshire racecourse companies, namely Catterick, Redcar, Thirsk and Wetherby, under contract on behalf of their respective boards and shareholders.

Due to internal reorganisation, IRM is presently recruiting two candidates to undertake the General Manager (GM) roles at Catterick and Thirsk racecourses respectively.  The GMs will be responsible for the day-to-day management of many aspects of these busy racecourses.

Catterick races year-round both on the flat and over jumps, whilst Thirsk is a flat racecourse which stages fixtures between April and September.  Both Catterick and Thirsk racecourses have recently built new stands and have large open spaces, which means driving the non-racing business forward is also a key aspect of the role of each GM.

The successful candidates will be good communicators with commercial experience who can manage diverse operations and solve problems.  Experience in managing people and being able to cope under pressure, whilst maintaining an eye for detail are also important.

Remuneration £Competitive
(salary, private health and pension contribution)

Apply in writing by 30th September 2022 to James Sanderson, via email: james@irmracing.com.  Please include details of your current remuneration package and attach your CV.  All applications will be treated in the strictest confidence.
