International Racing Manager

About Alpine Hearing Protection Alpine Hearing Protection is a global leader in hearing care, designing and distributing premium earplugs and noise-reduction headsets across online, offline, and live event channels. With a mission to make hearing protection both accessible and enjoyable, Alpine is the official hearing protection partner of the world's most prestigious motorsport championships: Formula 1, MotoGP, 24H Le Mans, and Indy 500.

About the Role

You will own one of the world's most unique motorsport partnership portfolios. From Formula 1 and MotoGP to Le Mans and the Indy 500, you'll be responsible for turning global sponsorship rights into commercial growth, unforgettable fan experiences and measurable business results. Based at our Global Head Office in Utrecht, or from our French Office in Paris, you will be the single point of accountability for our racing division: managing world-class partnerships with F1, MotoGP, 24H Le Mans, and the Indy 500; leading 30+ live event activations per year; and driving commercial performance across every circuit we visit.

This is a high-autonomy, high-visibility role for a commercially sharp and operationally rigorous professional who thrives in fast-paced, international environments. Your success will be measured by three things: commercial growth, partner satisfaction and flawless execution of our international race calendar. You will also directly manage one team member, supporting their development and ensuring effective delivery across the racing programme.

You will report to the Global Events & Venues Director.

Key Responsibilities

• Partnership Management Lead all partnerships across F1, MotoGP, 24H Le Mans, Indy 500, and future series — from contract negotiation through to rights delivery and season-long execution against key strategic imperatives.

• Manage the full event lifecycle: logistics, stand setup, staffing, inventory, fan engagement, teardown, and financial control.
• Commercial Performance Own the commercial budget and profitability of Alpine's international racing programme, including on-site sales, digital campaigns and sponsorship activation.
• Deliver revenue targets and continuously optimise profitability across events and partnerships for both event and digital revenues without compromising quality or impact.
• Drive "always-on" engagement strategies beyond key event moments to sustain brand and commercial momentum.
• Marketing & Brand Coordination Work alongside the Digital and Content teams to drive online product sales tied to live event campaigns and integrated experiences across digital, experiential, and content channels.
• Ensure seamless customer journeys from trackside discovery to e-commerce conversion.
• Collaborate with regional and local teams to ensure consistent and locally relevant execution.
• Reporting & Stakeholder Management Deliver structured, data-driven reporting: event ROI, revenue vs targets, partner satisfaction, operational KPIs, annual evaluations, and resource planning across the full season.
• Build and inspire strong cross-functional relationships internally (marketing, digital, PR, commercial) and externally with rights holders and agencies.
