I am sharing a unique opportunity to deliver the narrative of a transformative motorsport which sits at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and entertainment.

My client is revolutionising marine sports, pioneering sustainable mobility while delivering high-octane racing entertainment. As it enters its next growth phase, it is seeking an accomplished Media Manager to drive its media profile and elevate its global presence.

The role is based in London, with hybrid working options. However applicants must be comfortable with regular international travel that’s required for races, other events and key meetings.

As often befits working in a startup, you will take on a particularly varied remit, including strategic communications, press office, sustainability campaigning, social media, and on-event media management. You will have a Communications Director with you in house, and the support of a retained PR agency.

Previous PR experience in the motorsport world would naturally be advantageous. That said, comms experience in other sports sectors will be considered so long as it contains an element of on-event expertise – i.e. familiarity with the cut and thrust of media management, ever-changing itineraries, managing partners and sponsors, adapting to ad hoc requests, etc.

Away from the ‘tent poles’ that the race calendar provides, you will have creative freedom to help drive the company’s external media strategy. That includes developing thought leadership content, secure speaking opportunities for senior executives, executing sustainability and social impact PR strategies, and collaborating with a growing roster of partners to create and execute joint media campaigns.

Put this all together and key attributes the team is looking for include:
– thriving in fast-paced, dynamic environments
– detail-oriented, with excellent project management skills
– self-motivated with the ability to work independently
– experience in managing high-profile media relationships
– expertise in social media strategy, particularly LinkedIn
– additional languages would be beneficial
