Account Manager - Events

Born as a motorsport and automotive marketing agency, we have continually honed our skills in the fast-paced, technical, competitive world of racing. This drives us to provide solutions to tight, immovable deadlines and deliver to the highest standard every time. Teamwork is the only way to succeed, and creative problem-solving is second nature.

Since 2013, our team has grown. Our creativity grew. Our ambitions grew. But not our egos. No. We're nice people doing work we love. And doing it well.

We're always looking for exceptional people to do brilliant things. Right now, we're on the hunt for a driven, focused, and passionate Event Account Manager to join us.

If you're full to the brim with a can-do attitude and a passion for events within partnerships, this role could be perfect for you.

We’re looking for someone who will create an immediate impact within our company and across our client's account, delivering events within various motorsport disciplines.

Reporting to the Account Director, the Event Account Manager will be responsible for organising and implementing events throughout the year. The successful person will need to be happy to get stuck in with managing lots of elements, a desire to get their hands dirty and importantly, deliver onsite. So, a willingness to travel is a must.

A comprehension of the role sponsorship plays for a global brand is important for this role in order to understand the client’s partnership objectives and how the events fit into their global sponsorships. You should be able to plan several events simultaneously, demonstrating the ability to multi-task with significant event experience in executing multifaceted activities to the highest level and with precise attention to detail.
