  • Supporting the development of AI-driven diagnostic and predictive tools to improve event operations and system performance
  • Collaborating with software, innovation, digital, and broadcast teams to enhance data-driven motorsport content and fan engagement
  • Ensuring technical systems, infrastructure, and event operations are fully prepared and operational across international race events
  • Overseeing technical reporting, analytics workflows, and automated data solutions to improve efficiency and scalability
  • Acting as a senior technical leader during live events, ensuring smooth delivery across all operational functions
  • Supporting budgeting, resource planning, and long-term departmental growth strategies

Requirements

We’re interested in people who combine strong technical expertise with leadership experience in fast-paced motorsport or high-performance engineering environments.

You’ll ideally bring:

  • A background in motorsport race engineering, performance analysis, vehicle dynamics, race strategy, or technical operations
  • Experience managing and developing medium-sized technical teams
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to make decisions under pressure
  • Experience working with telemetry, data analysis, and visualisation tools
  • Knowledge of SQL, MATLAB, Excel, and other analytical software
  • A passion for innovation, continuous improvement, and operational performance
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Flexibility to travel internationally as part of a global race calendar

An engineering degree or equivalent industry experience would also be beneficial.
