Purpose of the Role:
You will join the Brand Experience team and sit within MTC Experiences, reporting to the Team Leader. You will be part of the team that delivers brand experiences at the iconic McLaren Technology Centre for our key stakeholders including Partners, the team, and guests. You will support in strategic projects and support delivery of experiences with end-to-end planning of some truly world-class McLaren brand experiences.
Working on a variety of events, you will support the delivery of some interactive, exciting, and unique brand experiences to optimise the guest interaction with the brand, highlighting key messaging throughout and driving emotional engagement. You will ensure all experiences represent the McLaren Brand and are positioned as world-class to generate commercial opportunities for McLaren throughout all touch points.
Role Dimensions:
This role requires a high volume of administration as well as being on site for events in Woking. Whilst most events are pre-planned, some are often very last minute, so flexibility and agility are key to this position. It requires a high level of attention to detail, an ability to work in a fast-paced, high-performance environment and be highly organised as well as adaptable.
Whilst there is hybrid working in place, due to the nature of the role, it will be essential for the candidate to be office based for most of the working week. The role also requires unsociable hours including weekends and long event days on your feet.
The goal is to provide the best cutting edge leading experiences, with a team who are determined and look to push boundaries in everything they do through continuous review and innovation.
The successful candidate will be supporting the team as well as have some direct responsibility for their own events working in a high-performance environment. You will need to be relentless in the pursuit of better, and always look for ways to improve. The events we deliver span across all five of our championships and you will collaborate with multiple stakeholders.
