Description

Most growth roles are about selling someone else’s product. This one is about disrupting an entire sport. FAT Karting League is creating the pathway from karting to F1, and you’ll be part of the team turning a transformative idea into a worldwide movement.
FAT Karting League has taken the UK & US by storm with our electric karting series; a community driven sports brand breaking down barriers to entry, removing 95% of the traditional costs, and redefining racing culture for a new generation. With plans to expand to 50+ markets in the next five years, we’re moving fast and looking for a Growth Lead who shares our ambition.
This is your chance to help shape the future of a disruptive brand with massive global potential. You’ll play a central role in building scalable growth processes, driving demand, and converting hype into loyal fans. From digital campaigns that sell out races to repeatable playbooks that unlock new markets, your work will directly fuel our expansion.

Responsibilities

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You’ll design journeys that start with a TikTok clip and end with someone showing up trackside, buying a season pass, and following their dreams to the top of the sport.

  • Design and run high impact ad campaigns across Meta, Google, email sequences, influencers, and partnerships to fill grids and grow the community.
  • Own and optimise the customer funnel, driving improvements in conversion from awareness through to ticket sales and season pass renewals.
  • Develop and own scalable growth playbooks that drive repeatable success in hub launches, customer acquisition, onboarding and retention.
  • Lead on data & reporting – define the key metrics, monitor performance, and feedback insights that drive decisions.
  • Support hub growth – work with local teams to launch new hubs, providing them with the tools, campaigns and support to succeed.
  • Work cross-functionally with product, operations and brand marketing to align growth initiatives with brand storytelling.

WHY THIS ROLE?

  • If you’ve ever dreamed of working at the intersection of sport, culture, and brand-building, this is it.
  • Build a sport. Not a product, not an app - a sport. Your campaigns will literally decide how fast FAT Karting scales worldwide.
  • Our team is headed up by the best in the business: Rob Smedley, former Ferrari F1 Engineer and Ferdi Porsche, CEO of FAT International.
  • Front row seat. Upper Heyford (Oxfordshire) isn’t a drag; it’s the main hub. This is where our F1 engineered karts are designed, drivers are made, and plans are born. You won’t just be watching from behind a laptop - you’ll be in the thick of it.
  • Immediate impact. You’ll see your work pay off instantly as we go from 3 to 15+ hubs across multiple markets in the next 18 months.
  • Fast track career upside. This role is built to evolve into Head of Growth role as we scale.
  • Culture + adrenaline. Join a young, hungry team rewriting the motorsport story for a new generation. Action > ego, always.
