Communications Executive

🏊🚴🏃Who We Are: 

The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) is not your typical sports organisation. We're a global start-up, co-owned by professional athletes themselves, on a mission to celebrate and elevate the sport of triathlon like never before. 

In just five years, we’ve disrupted the sport - launching the T100 Triathlon World Tour in 2024 and showcasing the world’s top-ranked athletes across some of the most iconic cities on the planet, where we crowned our first-ever World Champions. Building on that success, our T100 mass participation races have opened the door for everyday athletes to race on the same courses, in the same cities, and in the same electric atmosphere as the pros. As we look ahead to 2026, we’re entering our next phase of growth - elevating the athlete and fan experience, and transforming triathlon into a truly global sports and entertainment property. 

This is a rare opportunity to join a high performing, high-energy, values-driven team with leadership talent from the likes of UFC, RFU, Uber, Meta, ATP, and F1 - all passionate about building something extraordinary from the ground up. 

At the PTO, we’re passionate about triathlon, serious about quality, and obsessed with innovation. We don’t just talk - we get sh!t done. We move fast, collaborate as a small team, and challenge the status quo at every turn. It’s what gives us our EDGE - our core values framework that drives how we work, how we win, and how we show up every day.
