What You’ll Do
🔹 Build & Launch New Ventures
- Develop new education verticals from concept through to delivery
- Take products from MVP to scalable, repeatable offerings
- Ensure strong alignment with overall strategy
🔹 Drive Operational & Commercial Success

- Develop budgets, pricing models, and unit economics
- Track performance through clear metrics and reporting
🔹 Lead Partnerships & Ecosystems
- Build and manage relationships with delivery partners and venues
- Act as the key connector between internal teams and external stakeholders
- Design partnership models to enable scalable growth
- Ensure high standards of delivery, quality, and brand integrity
Qualifications
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience leading complex, cross-functional programmes with external partners

- A “builder” mindset — comfortable taking ideas from concept to execution in ambiguous environments, and problem solving along the way
- Commercially astute, with the ability to translate strategy into practical delivery
- Highly organised, proactive, and energised by fast-moving environments
- A genuine passion for STEM education/motorsport
Nice to have:
- Experience within STEM education
- Exposure to North American markets
