The first American Formula 1 team to compete in the sport since 1986, TGR Haas F1 Team made an immediate impression with a memorable points-scoring debut at the 2016 Australian Grand Prix. Ten years later, the team is still building momentum, guided by clear objectives and technical partnerships, and fresh from securing its second biggest points haul in a Formula 1 season.

General Summary:

This role reports to the Head of HR Legal (UK) and Talent Management or their designee and is based in Banbury, UK. The role supports the delivery of departmental objectives by contributing to day‑to‑day operations across relevant functions, working collaboratively to ensure tasks are completed accurately, efficiently, and to a high standard. The role involves cross‑functional coordination, monitoring progress against key performance indicators, participating in continuous improvement activities, following established policies and procedures, providing regular updates to line management, and contributing to a positive, inclusive, and accountable team culture that supports professional development.

This role is offered on a fixed-term basis for an initial period of 9 months to provide temporary cover during a period of maternity leave.

Subject to business need and the duration of the absence being covered, the contract may be extended for a further period, up to a maximum total duration of 12 months.

The fixed-term nature of this position reflects a genuine temporary requirement to ensure continuity of business operations and delivery while the substantive postholder is on maternity leave. The role is directly linked to the duration of that absence.

In such circumstances, the employment will terminate on the grounds of Some Other Substantial Reason (SOSR), namely the ending of a temporary maternity cover arrangement. Any termination will be managed in line with a fair and reasonable process, appropriate notice, and in accordance with applicable UK employment law.
