United Autosports – McLaren Hypercar Programme
Full-time | Race strategy leadership | Global travel
If you're the kind of strategist who can think four stints ahead, keep total clarity under chaos, and make brave, data-driven decisions — this is your chance to shape race outcomes at the highest level.
About the Role
As our Strategist, you'll take responsibility for tactical decision-making across test and race events. You'll own stint modelling, tyre life forecasts, fuel windows, optimisation tools, traffic simulations, and real-time race strategy execution.
You will be the person the Race Engineer relies on when split-second decisions determine the outcome.
What You'll Be Doing
* Building tyre, fuel and stint models ahead of each track event.
* Running live strategy tools, simulations and predictive models during sessions.
* Managing traffic impact, FCY/Safety Car responses, undercut/overcut decisions and live race pivots.
* Working with Performance, Race Engineering and Tyre Techs to build full-picture strategy clarity.
* Preparing strategy briefings, driver guides and run-scenario planning.
* Analysing competitor behaviour, long-run pace, pit windows and threats.
* Making robust, confident calls under pressure — even with incomplete information.
* Delivering structured strategy reports post-event.
What You'll Bring
* Strategy experience from WEC, ELMS, IMSA, F1, FE or equivalent data-driven motorsport categories.
* Strong maths and modelling capability, ideally with Python/MATLAB experience.
* Calmness under extreme pressure — the ability to think clearly while everyone else is stressed.
* Excellent communication skills to articulate decisions concisely and confidently.
* A mindset that is analytical, competitive and relentlessly detail-driven. xxuwjjq
