We're hiring for an Events and Community Manager

Do you love cars and have experience organising events? Join the team


Given that you’re on PistonHeads, we’re going to assume that you already love cars. And if you have experience organising events, then boy have we got the job for you.

We’re searching for a creative and passionate Events and Community Manager to fuel our vibrant community, both online and offline. From our legendary Sunday Services across the UK to our Annual Service at Bicester Heritage, and our yearly pilgrimage to Le Mans, you’ll be at the forefront of creating experiences that bring our members together.

You’ll play a crucial role in nurturing and growing our passionate community, curating memorable events that align with our online forums and marketplace. You’ll actively engage with the PistonHeads community, responding to feedback, connecting with members online, and creating seamless event experiences that enhance brand loyalty and drive marketplace growth. As an experienced event organiser, you will be responsible for finding new venues and managing events from start to finish, from briefing designers for marketing collateral to selling merchandise on the day.

Last year, we launched our first large scale paid event at Bicester Heritage, attracting more than 6,000 people to celebrate the PistonHeads brand. You will continue to grow this event, selling sponsorship, exhibition space and curating content while managing a budget to keep costs under control. You’ll also be responsible for working with our private campsite partner for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Le Mans Classic, to promote the events and attend them to engage with our community.

You’re not just an event organiser - you’re a community builder. You thrive on creating connections, both online and in person, and you’re excited by the prospect of engaging with the PistonHeads forums, where passionate debates and shared automotive knowledge comes to life.

If this sounds like your dream job and you have the experience to match, hit the link below to find out more and apply.

Interesting to see that no salary is listed... I always find that frustrating.

It'll be £25-28k I reckon. The job profile says 3+ years experience.

yikes I’d have put it around £45-£50k.. that’s a lot of work and skills required, I can’t see it being just over minimum wage?

The compensation for this constant abuse alone will be north of £100k without all the other stuff on top
