The Opportunity

Ready to lead from the front in one of the UK’s most exciting live event environments?

Everyman Driving Experiences is looking for a seasoned Head of Events to take full ownership of our high-performance driving events operation across Southern UK locations. This is a senior leadership role with real impact — overseeing the delivery of more than 250 adrenaline-fuelled events each year across 24 venues.

Based at our flagship Dunsfold facility (The Top Gear Track), you’ll also need the flexibility to travel occasionally to our other locations across the UK to ensure consistency and excellence nationwide.

You’ll be responsible for building and leading a high-performing team, ensuring operational excellence, and driving both commercial success and exceptional customer experiences.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own the vision and delivery of all events across Southern locations, ensuring they are safe, professional, and commercially successful
  • Lead large-scale operations, managing logistics, planning, and flawless on-site execution
  • Oversee a freelance workforce of up to 500 staff, alongside developing and mentoring in-house Event Managers, staff coordinators and logistics support.
  • Champion team culture, driving engagement, performance, and retention across all event staff
  • Ensure best-in-class safety and quality standards across every event
  • Operate as a key member of the senior leadership team, reporting directly to the CEO/Chairman
  • Provide strategic insight to improve performance, efficiency, and customer satisfaction

What We’re Looking For

  • Minimum 5+ years’ experience in events management, including 2+ years in a senior leadership role
  • Proven ability to manage multiple large-scale events simultaneously across different locations
  • Strong commercial awareness, including budget management and financial accountability
  • A calm, resilient leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-pressure environments
  • Passion for building teams, developing people, and improving processes
  • Exceptional communication skills and attention to detail
  • Full UK driving licence (essential)
  • Interest in automotive or high-performance vehicles (highly desirable)

What You’ll Get

  • Competitive salary + performance-based bonus
  • Pension contributions
  • Staff discounts on driving experiences and company events
  • Regular company events and team activities
  • A permanent, senior role with clear progression opportunities
  • The chance to work at our brand-new Dunsfold HQ – The Top Gear Track
  • A role within a growing, ambitious, family-run business

Why Join Us?

This isn’t a typical events role. You’ll be at the heart of a unique, high-octane industry, leading large-scale experiences that customers never forget. If you’re ready to take ownership, build exceptional teams, and make a real impact — we want to hear from you.

Apply now and take the driver’s seat of your career.
