A Leadership Role at the Heart of a Growing Motorsport Platform  

FAT Karting League is redefining grassroots motorsport. Our electric karting championship has rapidly expanded across the UK and United States, removing over 95% of traditional costs and opening professional-level racing to a new generation of drivers and families. 

With the Midwest operation already established and growing, we are now seeking a Motorsport Hub Manager to continue its successful delivery following an internal promotion.

The Role  

As Motorsport Hub Manager, you will be responsible for the operational performance of the Midwest championship , overseeing planning, budgeting, mechanical preparation, staffing, and race weekend delivery. 

The role is split between office and workshop-based administration and trackside leadership on event weekends . During the Midwest off-season, you will also support FAT Karting League’s wider US operations, potentially travelling with the kart fleet to warmer regions of the country to assist other hubs during winter months.

You Will Bring:  

  • Experience in motorsport, karting, or live sports event operations (preferred, not essential)
