Job description

2025 sees MoneyGram Haas F1 Team celebrate its tenth season in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship — we're just getting started. We challenge the status quo and want you to join us.

The first American Formula 1 team to compete since 1986, MoneyGram Haas F1 Team made an immediate impression with a points-scoring debut at the 2016 Australian Grand Prix. Nine years later, we continue to grow and aim for future success, coming off our second-best season to date.

We are a racing team, not a corporate machine. Our three headquarters are in Kannapolis (US), Banbury (UK), and Maranello (Italy). Each location is driven by passionate and dedicated team members. At MoneyGram Haas F1 Team — known as the "family team" — you'll be involved in various areas, gain broad visibility, and see the direct impact of your contributions.

We learn from each other and expect mutual growth.
