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.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:
1. Overall Event Ownership
Take overall operational responsibility for each assigned Formula 1 event.
Develop a clear understanding of the agreed event scope, client requirements, programme, site conditions, operational constraints and delivery priorities.
Ensure the required Sport Signage functions understand what is expected of them and when their contribution is required.
Maintain an integrated view of the entire event rather than managing individual workstreams in isolation.
Act as the primary operational escalation point for the assigned event and make timely decisions to protect safety, programme, quality and successful delivery.
Escalate significant matters to the Director of Operations where necessary.
2. Pre-Event Planning & Readiness
Lead operational preparation for assigned events and ensure a complete delivery plan is developed before mobilisation.
Confirm requirements for installation, off-track builds, compound, labour, equipment, vehicles, plant and machinery, logistics, inventory and assets, technical support, suppliers, access/accreditation, schedules, venue restrictions and H&S.
Coordinate functional leads so their plans support the overall event programme and identify interdependencies between workstreams.
Confirm event readiness before equipment and teams mobilise.
Raise concerns early where the event cannot reasonably be delivered with the allocated resources, equipment or programme.
3. Event Programme & Schedule Management
Own the overall operational event programme and ensure activities are sequenced logically against client and venue requirements.
Coordinate mobilisation, venue access, deliveries, compound setup, installation, off-track builds, snagging, live dates, dismantling, asset return and demobilisation.
Monitor progress against plan during delivery and coordinate recovery actions where delays occur.
Ensure changes to one workstream are communicated promptly to all other affected teams.
4. On-Site Operational Leadership
Act as the senior Sport Signage operational lead for the assigned event.
Provide direction to the event team, maintain a clear view of delivery status and run appropriate operational briefings.
Resolve conflicts between workstreams and ensure decisions are made at the appropriate level without unnecessary escalation.
Maintain communication with the Director of Operations during significant phases of delivery.
Create an environment in which functional leads own their specialist responsibilities while operating as one event team.
5. Installation Interface
Work closely with the Installation Manager to ensure installation activity supports the overall event programme.
Confirm installation priorities, access requirements, handover points and dependencies.
Review installation progress and identify any impact on the broader event schedule.
Support the Installation Manager with significant operational issues requiring cross-functio
