About Motorsport Network

Motorsport Network is a global, always-on media, technology and events platform uniquely positioned at the intersection of motor sport, automotive, and mobility. Reaching over 40 million fans across 25+ markets, the company operates some of the world’s most authoritative brands including , Autosport, Motor1, Ride Apart, and InsideEVs, delivering live awards and event experiences, premium content, branded content, video, and podcasts that span racing, performance automotive, electric vehicles, and the future of mobility.

Backed by GMF Capital and with a growing global footprint, Motorsport Network is trusted by the world’s leading brands as a strategic commercial partner. This is not a traditional media company. It is the only platform that authentically bridges the endemic motor sport audience which is uniquely affluent, globally mobile, and brand‑aspirational consumer base with the broader advertiser marketplace. For travel, retail, and luxury brands, that audience is the audience.

As VP, Head of Industry, you will own Motorsport Network’s commercial relationships across three high-value verticals:
Travel, Retail, and Luxury. This is an IC role. You are not a generalist sales leader but rather a sector specialist with deep fluency in the industries you serve, the relationships to match, and the strategic vision to build long-term, high-value partnerships that neither side could achieve anywhere else.

The motor sport audience is one of the most coveted consumer segments in premium advertising. High-income, globally traveled, passionately engaged, and deeply brand conscious, these fans are the core customer for ultra-premium hospitality, performance retail, and aspirational luxury goods. Motorsport’s global event calendar from Monaco to Singapore, Abu Dhabi to Austin, creates a natural overlap with the destinations, experiences, and lifestyle categories that define the travel and luxury marketplace.

That alignment is powerful, and it is significantly under monetized. Your mandate is to change that.

This role sits at the very top of the client-facing organization. You will be the face of Motorsport Network to C‑suite and VP-level marketing decision-makers, brand managers, and agency partners across your sectors. You will contribute to and help shape how the company goes to market, influence product and content strategy through client intelligence, and establish Motorsport Network as the indispensable partner for any travel, retail, or luxury brand seeking authentic access to this audience.

The best candidate for this role is someone who has lived inside these industries and understands the creative standards, the brand sensitivities, the media buying dynamics, and the white-glove client expectations that define luxury and premium retail marketing and someone energized by the challenge of translating that knowledge into commercially transformative outcomes within a premium sports, entertainment and media environment.
