About Formula E:

Formula E is motorsport reimagined, and the fastest growing motorsport on the planet. Born as a radical idea to redefine racing, it challenges convention at every turn - pushing boundaries in speed, sustainability, and storytelling. We race electric in the world’s most iconic cities, thrilling a global fanbase with purpose-fuelled innovation.

More than just competition, Formula E is a catalyst for change. As the first sport to be Carbon Net Zero since inception, it proves that elite performance and environmental responsibility can not only coexist—but thrive together.

Renowned teams compete head-to-head, like Porsche, Jaguar, Nissan, CUPRA Kiro, Lola-Yamaha, Andretti and Penske, in the fastest accelerating single-seater racing car - 30% faster than an F1 car. This makes the current GEN3Evo the most advanced electric race car on the planet.

Our mission is to move the world forward, through delivering a bold new vision for motorsport - electrified, inclusive, and built for the next generation.

Formula E doesn’t follow the rules—we rewrite them. In a motorsport industry bound by tradition, we thrive on disruption, challenging the status quo with bold ideas and electrifying energy.

We’re a team of curious, brave, thoughtful minds, pushing boundaries and changing the game - united by a mission that’s bigger than racing. Here we believe, work should be fun, meaningful, fast-paced, and full of purpose - driven by a shared commitment to people, planet and progress.

We believe success is a team sport. That’s why we’ve built a supportive, inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and contribute to something extraordinary.

Sport is our stage, sustainability is our cause, and innovation is our fuel. At Formula E, we’re not just part of the future - we’re building it.

Ensuring high standards of Health & Safety are in place across all work operations is of primary importance for Formula E, therefore we promote an environment where employees are actively encouraged to raise any concerns, they see either for FE staff or other relevant stakeholders.

The Role:

• Proactive Media Engagement: Drive strong and productive relationships with global motorsport media, proactively identifying opportunities to generate positive coverage and manage reputational issues effectively.
• Strategic Narrative Development: Lead the creation and execution of high-impact, journalist-quality written communications, including press releases, race programmes, media guides, Q&As, and internal content, that strategically position Formula E and its stakeholders.
• Executive Stakeholder Management: Cultivate and maintain exceptional professional relationships with key executive stakeholders across the Formula E ecosystem, with a particular emphasis on the FIA and Team Principals, ensuring alignment and collaborative communication strategies.
• Lead and Direct all Media Relations Activities: Serve as the primary interface with Team PRs and the FIA Formula E Media Delegate, providing guidance and ensuring cohesive and impactful communication strategies.
• Strategise and Oversee Driver Media Engagements: Define the overarching strategy for driver media activations, implement effectively to ensure efficient and high-impact execution.
• Direct At-Event Sporting Communications & PR Delivery: Take ultimate responsibility for the strategic planning and seamless execution of all sporting communications and PR activities during race weeks, ensuring a positive and professional media experience across all touch points.
  
  

What we're looking for in you:

• Extensive Manager-Level Communications Expertise in International Motorsport/Live Sport: Proven track record of progressive experience in communications, public relations, or media management within the international motorsport or broader live sporting events industry, with a demonstrable track record of strategic impact.
• Exceptional Communication and Stakeholder Management Skills: Impeccable journalist-quality writing and editing abilities, coupled with outstanding written and verbal communication skills to articulate complex ideas persuasively to diverse audiences, including senior executives and international media. Demonstrated ability to build and maintain strong relationships with C-suite executives, Team Principals, high-profile media figures, and a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.
• Proven Success in Strategic Motorsport Communications Leadership: Extensive experience in conceiving, leading, and implementing successful communication strategies and/or campaigns within the motorsport industry, with quantifiable results. Ability to strategically direct and coordinate personnel (internal and external) to maximise the impact and effectiveness of publicity appearances and media engagements. Strong leadership presence and initiative to confidently lead, drive initiatives independently, and motivate teams effectively in high-pressure environments.
• Track Record of Generating Compelling and High-Impact Publicity: Proven ability to develop and execute strategies that result in significant positive media coverage and enhance brand visibility.
