Job description

Helping people find jobs in the local area since 2008

Motorsport Vision (MSV) is seeking a commercially-minded and analytically strong Business Partner to support our Chief Executive, Jonathan Palmer, and Senior Leadership Team in a high-impact role within the UK’s leading motorsport operator.

This is a rare opportunity to influence strategic decision-making across a diverse and fast-moving business. MSV operates major race circuits including Brands Hatch, Donington Park and Oulton Park, and runs a wide range of activities from international race events and retail to hospitality and driving experiences. MSV is also currently developing spectacular Donington Hall into a superb 55-bedroom luxury country house hotel and, outside the UK, owns Circuito de Navarra in north-east Spain with an exciting project at its Couvron site in France.

Reporting to the Chief Executive and working closely with the finance team, you’ll be responsible for producing insight, analysis and reporting that helps senior leaders understand business performance and prioritise opportunities. This is a hands-on role that combines commercial analysis, financial modelling and effective cross-functional collaboration.

Responsibilities:

• Performance Reporting: Deliver timely, high-quality reporting and dashboards to support the CEO and senior leadership in understanding business performance.
• Financial Modelling: Develop and maintain Excel-based models to inform pricing, commercial strategy, and investment decisions.
• Strategic Collaboration: Partner with business unit leaders to identify growth opportunities, enhance reporting transparency, and ensure insights drive real business impact.
• Decision Support: Translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations that help shape strategic priorities across the business.
• Process Improvement: Identify improvement opportunities in internal reporting, data flows, and performance review processes to increase agility and insight quality.
• Market and Competitor Analysis: Conduct ad hoc strategic research and benchmarking to inform decision-making and maintain awareness of industry trends and emerging opportunities.

Requirements:

• Experience: Minimum 5 years in a finance, FP&A, commercial strategy, consulting or business analysis role.
• Previous experience working with businesses in the hotel and leisure industry would be helpful, but not essential.
• Education: CIMA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent professional qualification preferred but not essential.
• Commercial acumen: Strong understanding of financial statements and experience analysing business performance drivers and growth opportunities.
• Financial modelling: Advanced Excel skills and experience building robust financial models; Power BI or similar tools a plus.
• Strong Communication Skills: Able to communicate insights clearly and influence a wide range of stakeholders.
• Adaptable: Works well in a dynamic environment and can operate without rigid structure, with priorities evolving based on business needs.
• Motorsport Interest: An enthusiasm for motorsport or operationally intensive, customer-facing businesses is desirable.
• Location: This role can be based at Brands Hatch in Kent, Donington Park in Leicestershire or Bedford Autodrome, with occasional travel to other MSV circuits. A full UK driving licence is essential.

What We Offer:

• Direct and regular exposure to the CEO, and our Senior Leadership Team with the opportunity to shape decision-making across the organisation
• A varied role covering commercial, financial and operational topics across multiple business units
• Competitive pay, commensurate with experience
• Up to 31 days’ holiday (including Bank Holidays and Christmas shutdown)
• Staff pass for yourself and a guest to attend events at all MSV circuits
• Discounted food and drink when working on site
• Access to the MSV Hub, offering discounts at hundreds of retailers across the UK
• Access to 24/7 wellbeing services
