About the event
Tracing the influences of Enzo Ferrari and Ayrton Senna to the unprecedented impact of Netflix’s Drive To Survive series, the exhibition combines an unprecedented mix of historic and modern-day race cars, previously unseen film and interviews, artefacts and interactive elements including racing simulators.

Job description
Across the event, staff will be responsible for guest engagement, queue management, audio guide distribution, gallery management & exhibit security, photo opportunities, immersive video operation and driving simulator management.

We're looking to recruit a diverse, multi-disciplined team to deliver this event, which operates 7-days a week, with shifts approximately 12 hours per day. Between them, our small team will be able to cover all opening hours of the event on a medium-length basis - working a regular shift pattern where possible. This is a fantastic opportunity for freelancers, new graduates or anyone who wants regular work during the week or at weekends. This event isn't possible to host evening-only work.

From mid-November 2024, all new applications will be placed onto the waitlist. If a space becomes available and we can accommodate a new starter, we'll contact those on the waitlist.
