Head of Technology Commercial Partnerships

For almost 50 years, Atlassian Williams F1 Team has been at the forefront of one of the fastest sports on the planet, being one of the top three most successful teams in history competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. With an almost unrivalled heritage of engineering and racing F1 cars and unforgettable eras that demonstrate it is a force to be reckoned with, the British squad boasts 16 F1 World Championship titles to its name.
 

Since its foundation in 1977 by the eminent, late Sir Frank Williams and engineering pioneer Sir Patrick Head, the team has won nine Constructors’ Championships, in association with Cosworth, Honda and Renault. Its roll call of drivers is legendary, with its seven Drivers’ Championship trophies being lifted by true icons of the sport: Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve. The team has made history before and is out to make it again with a long-term mission to evolve and return to the front of the grid.

Where engineering brilliance meets commercial opportunity.

Formula 1 is the world's most technologically advanced sport, with every tenth of a second won through data mastery and relentless innovation. At Williams F1 Racing, we're looking for someone who can take that same spirit of innovation and turn it into commercial impact.

This is a rare hybrid role, part technical, part commercial, all people person. You'll need to move seamlessly between shaking hands with partners and forming genuine relationships, and quickly assessing whether a technology opportunity is actually relevant to what we do. That means you'll need real technical depth: someone who has built software or hardware, led engineering teams, or worked in forward-deployed technical roles.

Representing the technology strategy set out by our CIO, you'll identify, build, and close partnerships that don't just generate revenue, but position Williams as a genuine innovation partner on one of sport's most visible global stages.

What you'll do:

• Quickly assess potential technology partnerships, using genuine technical understanding to separate the relevant from the irrelevant
• Build a pipeline of high-value technology partnerships and personally lead senior relationships through to signature
• Represent and help bring to life the Technology and Innovation Strategy set by the CIO, aligning partnership activity with revenue and brand goals
• Represent Williams F1 Racing at technology conferences, partner innovation days, and races, as an engaging, credible ambassador who can hold a room and speak with authority on stage
• Deepen value with existing partners across fan engagement, esports, sustainability, and content

Atlassian Williams F1 Team is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and inclusion. We are happy to discuss reasonable job adjustments.
