The Role
We’re looking for a solutions-oriented Client Lead with a strong project management backbone to drive the delivery of complex, fast-moving content and social programs for a Formula 1 team. You’ll be the day-to-day owner of client delivery, keeping teams aligned, scopes controlled, risks managed, and output consistently high-quality across multiple workstreams.
This is a high-tempo role built for someone who can keep multiple workstreams on track across the F1 calendar: always-on content, race-weekend coverage, partner deliverables, and performance reporting. You’ll bring calm control in a fast-moving environment—balancing stakeholder needs, creative ambition, and operational reality.
What you’ll own
You’ll operate across three core areas:
Client leadership: own the relationship cadence, lead status and steering meetings, and turn objectives into action.
Program & project management: run the plan across the season and each race week (run-of-show, dependencies, resourcing, risks).
Delivery excellence: protect the brief, manage change, and ensure outputs are on-brand, platform-native, and performance-minded.
Key Responsibilities
Client leadership & stakeholder management
Act as the day-to-day lead for the F1 client - driving clarity, alignment, and decisions across team, partners, and internal stakeholders.
Turn seasonal objectives into a delivery roadmap (campaigns, content pillars, partner obligations, analytics/reporting cadence).
Own meeting cadence (weekly/bi-weekly), action logs, and decision capture; keep everyone aligned as priorities shift during the season.
Manage expectations under pressure: communicate trade-offs, secure approvals, and keep momentum when timelines compress.
Race-weekend project management (core of the role)
Lead race-week delivery planning: pre-event briefs, run-of-show, publishing plans, asset lists, shot lists, and approval pathways.
Coordinate live coverage workflows across time zones, ensuring rapid-turn content moves smoothly from capture → edit → approval → publish.
Maintain a clear view of dependencies (travel, access, embargoes, partner sign-off, talent availability) and unblock issues early.
Track scope, manage change requests, and keep delivery within agreed timelines and budget—escalating risks early and proposing solutions.
Cross-functional coordination
Lead a multi-disciplinary team (creatives, producers, editors, channel managers, strategists, analysts) to deliver against the plan.
Partner with creative leadership to ensure concepts are feasible within race-week constraints and still deliver standout moments.
Set quality gates and review checkpoints so work is accurate, compliant, and on-brand before it hits the grid (publishing).
Performance & continuous improvement
Own delivery reporting cadence: what shipped, what performed, what we learned, and what changes next race.
Improve ways of working over the season—templates, playbooks, approval processes, and tooling—to increase speed, consistency, and quality.
Contribute to growth by spotting opportunities (new formats, partner activations, improved workflows) and turning them into proposals.
Team leadership
Coach and support teammates to build consistent delivery habits, strong client service, and resilient race-week execution.
Create an environment where the team can move fast without burning out—clear priorities, clean processes, and smart resourcing.
Requirements (Must-Haves)
5+ years’ experience leading client delivery and managing complex projects in an agency, content studio, social, or marketing environment.
Proven ability to run multiple workstreams end-to-end (planning → production → approvals → publishing → reporting).
Strong stakeholder management: confident leading senior conversations, securing decisions, and handling feedback loops.
Excellent operational discipline: comfortable building plans, tracking details, and keeping teams accountable under tight deadlines.
Experience working in fast-paced, live environments (sport, events, news, entertainment) with shifting priorities.
Strong proficiency with project tools and docs (Microsoft Office / Google Workspace; project tracking tools a plus).
Nice-to-Haves
Hands-on experience in Formula 1, motorsport, or premium live sport content environments.
Familiarity with social platform best practices and publishing workflows (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, etc.).
Understanding of content production workflows (pre-production through post) and how to manage creative feedback effectively.
Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (helpful for coordination and review).
Experience with performance reporting and insight-led optimization.
Working Pattern
Race-weekend flexibility required, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends aligned to the Formula 1 calendar and global time zones.
Hybrid/remote working patterns may vary by client, including occasional travel to events where required.
