Lead Software Engineer

Company Description

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.

Job Description

We are looking for an experienced, highly organised and discreet Executive Assistant to join Williams Racing in a pivotal role supporting our Chief Information Officer and the Technology and Operations Group leadership team.

This is far more than a traditional EA position. Sitting at the operational heart of the Technology and Operations Group, you will act as a trusted partner and operational lead, owning the function's governance rhythms, driving process excellence, and enabling our leaders to operate at their best.

What you'll be doing

You will provide dedicated, proactive support to the CIO and Technology and Operations Group leadership team, managing complex calendars, preparing high-quality briefing materials, presentations and correspondence, and coordinating Board-level and senior leadership meetings end to end. You will own and continuously improve the group's operational rhythm, including reporting cycles, action logs and decision tracking, and line manage an EA/Admin Coordinator. Building strong relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders, including Board members, investors and partners, will also be a key part of the role.

Qualifications

What we're looking for

You will bring significant Executive Assistant experience at C-Suite or equivalent senior leadership level, along with an exceptional ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with absolute professionalism. You'll be a strong communicator, highly organised under pressure, and someone who takes real ownership of the processes and outputs in your remit.

Experience of line managing or coordinating a direct report is essential, as is the ability to synthesise complex information into clear, insight-driven briefing materials for senior audiences. High proficiency in Microsoft 365 is a given.

Experience supporting a CIO, CTO or senior technology leader would be a distinct advantage, as would familiarity with IT governance, digital transformation, or experience in a fast-paced, high-performance environment. Motorsport, sport or engineering backgrounds are particularly welcomed.

Additional Information

We fuel our team with a competitive benefits package, including generous holidays, vibrant staff events, a subsidised onsite restaurant, and a range of car schemes. Stay energised with 24/7 access to our gym and free fitness classes like outdoor boot camps, Pilates, and Yoga. With free parking and sprawling green spaces, you’ve got the perfect space to recharge and refocus.
 

Join a fast-paced, future-thinking team that’s driving innovation and pushing past engineering boundaries.
