Technical Manager – Sport World Championship



This role would provide a high level of customer support that is appropriate for a World Championship Racing Series using complex technology, and would ensure:


  • There is a single go-to person with the power and budgetary responsibility to resolve important technical matters, in some cases with immediate effect (not a coordinator).
  • Exact alignment and effective communications between all stakeholders.
  • All technical issues are properly documented and communicated to all stakeholders in a timely manner.
  • Any underlying design faults causing technical issues are properly investigated with thorough engineering analysis, and subsequent reports are distributed to all stakeholders in a timely manner.
  • All Team “Race Vehicles” are properly maintained, and all Teams adequately supported technically with a focus on fair competition.
  • Focus is kept on the bigger picture, by not being involved in the hands-on maintenance or systems operation of the “Race Vehicles”.
  • Overall technical leadership for the sport and the necessary strategic direction to UIM & the race series on technical rules & policies.


The successful candidate’s previous role would have ideally been “Head of Technical Operations”, “Head of Sport” or “Technical Program Manager” and they would typically be comfortable engaging with stakeholders both cross-functionally and externally, as well as utilising some of their own technical knowledge.

  • Create necessary policies and sign-off procedures to ensure any updates are race-ready.
  • Manage the spare parts inventory and availability for Teams at races (alongside the Sporting Manager).
  • Review equipment Teams are provided with and provide solutions to continually improve operations (e.g. ensure the tools provided to Teams match requirements).


Series Technical Strategy


  • Provide strategic direction to UIM & series on technical rules & policies.
  • Work with UIM to produce a set of extensive technical regulations that ensure safety and fair competition while allowing the Series’ long-term objectives to play out.
