In a statement on The Jockey Club’s website, Zara expressed her delight about the role.
She said: “I'm passionate about horseracing, particularly on the Jumps side, and the absolute pinnacle of that is Cheltenham.
“Racing is simply the most exciting sport and it’s open to all. It's an honour to have been asked by Martin St Quinton on behalf of The Jockey Club to get involved in a more formal capacity and I look forward to doing my bit to support the executive team in the years to come."
Zara landed several brand ambassador deals as a by-product of her success, including with Land Rover, Rolex, iCandy prams and clothing brand Musto.
The equestrian also has her own range of equestrian-inspired jewellery with Calleija.
Her husband Mike Tindall, a former rugby player, is also able to pursue his own work.
He appeared as a contestant on the Channel 4 show The Jump, and on ITV’s Bear Grylls: Mission Survive.
