JOB DESCRIPTION
Headquartered in Pueblo, Colo., PBR was founded in 1992 by a group of 20 visionary bull riders who broke away from the traditional rodeo scene, seeking mainstream attention, new riches, and a livelihood for future generations of cowboys for the most popular discipline in rodeo, bull riding. More than 500 bull riders from around the world including the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico hold PBR memberships. They compete in more than 200 bull riding events each year on the nationally televised Unleash The Beast, Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour and Touring Pro Division, in addition to those held by international divisions in Australia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico.
Collectively, PBR broadcasts reach more than 405MM households in more than 91 territories. PBR has rapidly transformed one of the fastest growing sports in America into a worldwide phenomenon. With cowboys continuing to enter the mainstream, extreme sports featuring jaw-dropping bursts of action all night long growing in popularity, world class event production, PBR’s reach increasing across broadcast, cable and digital channels, and fan support continuing to grow, the sport’s future is very bright.
