This is what it really means to be fearless.

You will work alongside the rest of the Electric Racing Finance Team all of whom are fairly new but have significant experience and knowledge to support you in your role and in achieving our goals.

We have adopted hybrid working across the team, but flexibility to work hours will be required to meet the operational demands of the teams you support.
