We are seeking an exceptional Performance Director to lead one of the most ambitious long-term athlete development programmes in international motorsport.
Our client’s objective is to build a world-class performance environment capable of supporting the progression of an emerging single-seater racing driver through the international pathway, with the ultimate ambition of competing at the highest level of the sport. Success in elite motorsport demands far more than driving talent alone. It requires an integrated, evidence-based performance system where every aspect of athlete development is aligned, measured and continually refined to deliver sustained competitive advantage.
Responsibilities
As Performance Director, you will have overall responsibility for designing, integrating and leading athlete's complete performance programme. This is a strategic leadership role, providing direction across physical preparation, sports science, nutrition, psychology, recovery, lifestyle management, leadership development and race performance. Working alongside an expanding team of specialist practitioners, you will ensure every discipline contributes to one coherent long-term performance strategy. You will also lead race preparation processes, drive performance innovation, establish measurable objectives and foster a culture built on excellence, accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.
