Marussia F1 Team launches global recruitment drive for 'cool jobs'

The Marussia F1 Team is partnering with Monster to recruit for a variety of permanent roles that will influence the technical and commercial success of the team.

Four of these roles will be specialised opportunities, advertised as ‘cool jobs,’ and will use Monster’s global job seeker reach to help ensure the Marussia F1 Team receives the most qualified applicants from all over the world.

As part of the partnership, the Marussia F1 Team will also leverage Monster’s talent management to optimise efficiency throughout the recruitment lifecycle, and to help the organisation quickly hone in on top talent.

The first of the four global ‘cool jobs’ is now available as the team is looking for an aerodynamicist to play a vital role in the development of Marussia’s next generation F1 racecar.

The jobs will be based in the Marussia F1 Team’s new technology centre located in Banbury, UK, but the team will consider qualified candidates from all over the world. With an expected job start date of mid-April.

In addition to the globally advertised ‘cool jobs,’ up to 40 other permanent opportunities will be available in the coming months to job seekers throughout the EU.

Andy Webb, CEO, Marussia F1 Team, stated: “Monster is an exciting and much-welcome addition to our portfolio of Marussia F1 Team Official Partners. Formula One is a technology-driven sport, but you need the right people with the right talents to drive these processes. At this time, when we are looking to augment our expertise in key areas of the team, this partnership will enable us to reach a much wider scope of qualified candidates, leveraging Monster’s global reach and its precision search matching technology.”

Katie Allen, head of HR, Marussia F1 Team, added: “The partnership with Monster will enable us to significantly increase our talent reach quickly and cost-effectively – which is vital in the F1 recruitment arena. As a small F1 team, we also look forward to using the Talent Management Suite to help us manage our recruitment and resourcing plans in the most professional and efficient way, whilst ensuring that more of our HR focus can be directed at development activities for the business and our people.”
