The Role
Brackley, UK
You'll play a key role in delivering the team's growing portfolio of physical marketing activity and assets, spanning design and production, experiential marketing, event activations, asset creation, freight coordination and cross-functional campaign delivery.
Working closely with the Projects Team and stakeholders across design, production, events and partnerships, you'll help create, build and deliver special projects and event assets that support the team throughout the Formula One season.
This isn't a desk-only role. You'll be hands-on with physical delivery, managing inventory, timelines, suppliers and freight to keep projects moving and ensure assets arrive where they need to be, often in fast-paced and ever-changing environments.
As the team continues to scale, you'll also help evolve the tools and processes that support our work, ensuring they're as effective as the projects and experiences we deliver.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage end-to-end project delivery across physical marketing and branded environments, from planning through to execution.
- Oversee multiple projects simultaneously, prioritise competing workstreams and manage cross-project dependencies.
- Manage the financial aspects of owned projects and assets, including forecasting, budget management, supplier negotiations, reporting and driving cost efficiencies.
- Work closely with internal production, design, AV and logistics teams to coordinate builds, asset preparation and on-site delivery.
- Liaise with third-party suppliers to ensure accuracy, quality and on-time delivery across all touchpoints.
- Lead asset movement, freight planning and trackside setup where required.
- Keep project plans, timelines, risks and budgets on track, with a solutions-focused mindset.
- Support the development of briefs, schedules and project documentation across all partners.
- Help shape and improve internal processes, reporting and cross-functional ways of working.
