Tennis Professional Graduate Programme
This is a 2 year graduate placement for a recent university graduate looking for a full-time professional career in sport.
The 2 year placement will be split into three rotations with each one focusing on one of our core business areas:

This will involve learning how to get the best out of all our junior and adult players - inspiring them to get the most out of the sport we are so passionate about. We have a truly unique approach creating a culture and atmosphere of experimentation and encourage players to play in their own way solving problems using their natural instincts and problem solving abilities.
Along side the practical elements, you will learn about the entire customer journey - being involved with creating and analysing marketing campaigns - building courses on our booking platform, ensuring courts and equipment are correct for the execution of the service and dealing with customer service enquires from both new and existing clients. You will continue to use these core skills throughout your two year placement.

You will also be exposed to the e-commerce side, and learn how to create digital offers, manage the fulfilment of orders and deal with requests/enquiries and provide best-in-class customer service and advice to all our customers.
