Casino, horse racing, and online wagering operator across regional properties
Churchill Downs runs a diversified gaming and entertainment portfolio spanning physical casinos, horse racing venues, and the TwinSpires online wagering platform. The tech stack is enterprise-heavy (SAP, ADP, SuccessFactors, SQL) with operations-driven hiring—36 of 60 active roles are in ops—reflecting the labor-intensive nature of venue management, food service, and gaming floor operations. Active projects cluster around property expansion, player development events, and payroll accuracy, while pain points center on multi-source customer data consolidation and cross-department coordination.
