Hospitality Operations Executive

Brackley

About Us:

At the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, a group of passionate and determined people work to design, develop, manufacture and race the cars with the aim of fighting for world championships each and every year.

Whether working in our Operations, Technical, Race or Business Support functions, we are all in and aspire to build the greatest team in the history of our sport.

Every individual plays their part. No stone is left unturned in the chase for every tenth of a second. The history of our sport is long and rich, and we are continuing our journey with renewed effort year on year. Record books remember the names of a few, but history is written by the many.

About the Role:

We are seeking a dynamic Hospitality Operations Executive to help drive the performance of our Hospitality and Events Team.

This role sits at the centre of our gifting and collateral operations, managing the end‑to‑end execution that makes our hospitality programme distinctive. Working closely with Brand and Design, you will translate gifting concepts into delivery - overseeing production, budgets, freight and distribution across all hospitality environments.

Your focus will be operational excellence: coordinating with suppliers, managing warehouse operations, overseeing international logistics and ensuring seamless trackside distribution. From concept approval to a guest receiving their gift, you will own the execution to our exacting standards.

You will also support major hospitality events throughout the year, providing operational and logistics expertise both in planning and onsite delivery.

This role suits someone equally comfortable negotiating with suppliers, managing freight movements and working hands‑on in warehouses as they are supporting high‑profile events. If you thrive on making complex operations run smoothly and take pride in flawless guest experience delivery, this is the role for you.
