Sport Signage are looking for a Operations Manager to join our Operations / F1 Event Delivery team.

The Operations Manager is responsible for the overall successful delivery of assigned Formula 1 events on behalf of Sport Signage.

The role acts as the central operational owner of the event, coordinating all relevant delivery workstreams including installation, off-track builds, compound operations, logistics, inventory and assets, fleet, technical requirements, project support and on-site resources.

The Operations Manager ensures that the event is properly planned before mobilisation, delivered safely and effectively on site, and closed out correctly following completion.

While individual functional leads retain ownership of their specialist areas, the Operations Manager is accountable for ensuring those workstreams come together into one coordinated event-delivery plan. The Operations Manager therefore acts as the single operational point of accountability for the assigned event.

THE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE YOU NEED:

• Significant operational experience within motorsport, live events, signage, temporary infrastructure, production or a similar project-based environment.
• Experience managing complex event delivery on site and coordinating multiple operational workstreams.
• Experience managing teams and specialist functional leads.
• Strong understanding of installation and event build environments and immovable delivery deadlines.
• Experience managing labour, equipment and logistical requirements.
