• How this role fits into your career plans
• Experience (professional, voluntary or lived) that makes you a great fit for this role in line with our values and the criteria outlined in this job description.

Mission 44 supports young people to boost aspirations, achieve academically, and provide resources and industry exposure to access great STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers. Our motorsports engagement strategy, which sits under our global STEM strategy, seeks to accelerate sector-wide change in motorsport within the next three years. It leverages Mission 44’s convening power and our MSc Motorsports Scholarship programme to deliver measurable change across employers and increased access for young people from all underrepresented backgrounds to exciting roles in motorsports.

As the Senior Impact Manager, Motorsports Engagement, you will play a crucial role in developing and maintaining strategic relationships with motorsports employers to support young people from underrepresented backgrounds into early career opportunities. Working closely with Formula 1 and its teams, as well as a broader network of STEM-related organisations across the UK, US, and Brazil, you will lead collaboration efforts to influence inclusive recruitment and retention practices in motorsports, and enhance career access and progression. With a strong external focus, you will also support Mission 44’s fundraising goals, representing the organisation at high‑profile events, stewarding key corporate accounts, and helping secure investment in our programmes and mission.

We’re looking for someone passionate about influencing employers, building consensus and using it to drive action. You’ll be highly organised, resilient, adaptable and skilled at building trusted relationships. You will be a proactive problem‑solver, able to balance multiple priorities while ensuring young people feel supported and heard. If you’re motivated by creating opportunities for young people to drive change, we’d love you to join our team and help us strengthen the impact we make together.

• Build trusted relationships with key motorsport employers and stakeholders, including F1, F1 teams, FIA, and relevant STEM employers, to drive sector‑wide change, focusing on increasing demand for underrepresented talent, adoption of inclusive recruitment practices, and awareness of Mission 44’s work and impact.

• Collaborate with the Engagement Directorate, nonprofit partners and corporates to design and deliver high‑impact STEM career experiences at Formula 1 races and other key events - some of which will be international - ensuring alignment with Mission 44’s objectives and offering young people meaningful exposure to career pathways.

• Support cultivation and stewardship efforts as requested by the Engagement Directorate, engaging prospective donors and prioritising meetings that deliver the greatest strategic value.
