Event Operations & Planning Lead

Shape the structure behind Europe’s most exclusive motorsport experiences!

Behind extraordinary Formula 1 experiences, lies more than speed and emotion – success also requires structure, precision, and a strong team.

If you have spent years bringing complex events to life and are ready to use your expertise to shape how event teams plan and work, this is your opportunity to make an impact.

At Global-Tickets, we are looking for an experienced Event Operations & Planning Lead to develop and establish structures for the growth of our Global-Tickets Glamping Villages and VIP Mavericks Club. You will be a driving force behind the scenes of premium motorsport experiences at major racing events across Europe.

In a shared leadership structure, you report directly to the Head of Events, working as an equal partner to our Event Production & Commercial Lead to deliver commercially successful, high-impact events. While your counterpart leads the event offering, supplier management, and on-site production, you take ownership of overall planning, operational processes, and business cases - initially overseeing digital channels as well. 

You bring together key financial assumptions, spot risks and opportunities early, and drive the cross-functional coordination needed.

If you are motivated to take ownership, challenge existing ways of working and want to help us grow, we are looking forward to meeting you!

Your Impact

• Project & Process Management: You develop clear standards and processes that make our event operations scalable across Europe.

• Event Operations & Planning: You oversee cross-functional event and resource planning, as well as back-office operations, from preparation through post-event follow-up.

• Business Cases & Financial Transparency: You own event business cases, maintain forecasts, and coordinate corrective actions.

• Internal stakeholder management: Managing cross-functional collaboration, you coordinate the teams involved, ensuring that responsibilities, priorities, and deadlines are clearly aligned and consistently met.

• E-Commerce & Sales Channel Management: In collaboration with the CRM department, you initially manage product offerings, availability, pricing, and inventory across our webshop and booking platforms, while monitoring channel performance.

Your Top 3 Goals

• Lay the foundation for growth: Establish practical planning standards and processes that the team uses consistently and can apply across events.

• Ensure Seamless Event Delivery: Make responsibilities, deadlines and dependencies clear for all stakeholders and address delays or resource conflicts early.

• Turn financial transparency into action: Keep business cases and forecasts reliable, identify deviations early and coordinate corrective actions with the responsible colleagues.

• 5+ years of experience in project management, event production, event operations or other comparable environments.

• A track record of improving planning and operational processes in complex, project-based environments, and making those improvements work in daily practice.

• Practical experience with budgets, forecasts and business cases, with the ability to understand deviations and work with others to turn them into concrete actions.

• Strong organizational skills and a structured, proactive and solution-oriented mindset, with a drive to build scalable structures.

• Clear communication and confidence to challenge assumptions and hold teams accountable while maintaining constructive working relationships.

• Previous experience with project management tools like (e.g. Monday, Asana) is a plus. 

• Fluency in English is required; German, Dutch or Polish are an advantage.

What awaits you

• Direct Influence on Our Growth: Work in an ambitious environment and actively contribute to our strategies to further expand our leading position in motorsports.

• International Team Culture: An international team that values cohesion and self-responsibility, with short decision-making paths, events and after-works.

• Development: Expand your expertise through challenging projects and increasing responsibility over time. We support you to take initiative, develop your skills, and take the next step.

• Flexibility Where it Matters: Flexible start and finish times around our core working hours help you balance team commitments and personal needs.

• Exclusive Experiences & Networking: Access to Formula 1 & MotoGP, and annual events for creative ideas and team-building.

• Modern Work Environment: State-of-the-art equipment and an office with space for interaction and relaxation – including a gaming room, and restaurant with a terrace.
