About the Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars are a professional football team and a member of the National Football League’s AFC South Division. The Jaguars are one of the NFL’s youngest franchises, playing their first regular season home game on Sept. 3, 1995, in Jacksonville, Fla., and have since won five division titles. The Jaguars are owned by Shahid Khan, a visionary leader whose businesses include Flex-N-Gate, Fulham Football Club, All Elite Wrestling, Bold Events and Iguana Investments. Since 2012, Mr. Khan has had a positive impact on the Northeast Florida community through his investment in the team, capital improvements to EverBank Stadium and the creation of Daily’s Place, which hosts upwards of 40 concerts a year. Through the Jaguars Foundation, the Khan Family has donated more than $39 million to many worthy causes, including in three key areas of focus: neighborhood revitalization, youth development and NFL-league-wide initiatives.
The Jaguars and Iguana Investments opened the Miller Electric Center, a state-of-the-art sports performance center and home to Jaguars football operations in 2023. Over the next several years, the Jaguars and Iguana Investments will complete Phase 1 of the Jacksonville Shipyards, a revitalization of the St. Johns Riverfront which will include a Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences, an office building inclusive of the Jaguars front office headquarters, and a modernized marina and support building, as well as begin additional projects to transform the area around the stadium into a year-round, mixed-use sports and entertainment district.
In 2024, the Jaguars and the City of Jacksonville announced plans to move forward with a reimagined Stadium of the Future, securing Jaguars football in Jacksonville for generations to come, and a continuation of annual traditions of the Florida-Georgia Football Classic and TaxSlayer Gator Bowl while also opening opportunities for future Super Bowls, Final Four tournaments, college football playoffs, marquee concerts and more. The Stadium of the Future features a protective canopy, wider concourses, new communal spaces, scenic lookout decks, immersive in-bowl technology, new seating types and a public Floridian nature park.
We are committed to creating an environment that fosters the growth and success of a highly engaged workforce in the professional sports and entertainment. Our company culture seeks individuals who embody our core company principles: Passion, Respect, Innovation, Dedication, and Empowerment (PRIDE). Our company fosters a culture of continuous learning and a commitment to excellence, while also recognizing the significance of infusing excitement, originality, and fun into the workplace. By integrating these values and concepts, we establish a robust and dynamic work environment that upholds our vision of being a championship NFL team, an innovative entertainment company, and an exceptional community leader.
