Customer Experience Lead

FAT Karting League is a high-performance motorsport business built around competition, precision, and experience. We deliver organised racing environments where attention to detail, consistency, and teamwork are critical to success — on and off the track.

As a growing organisation, we’re building more than just a karting league. With plans to expand into other areas of motorsport, we’re creating opportunities for people who want to grow with the business and develop their careers as we scale. We’re looking for driven individuals who thrive in fast-paced, energetic settings, take pride in high standards, and are motivated by responsibility, progression, and being part of something that’s moving forward.

We are looking for a proactive and customer-focused Customer Experience Lead to support the growth of our junior karting programmes in the UK. This is a varied role combining customer sales, event delivery, and operational support, making it ideal for someone who enjoys building relationships, delivering exceptional customer experiences, and working in a fast-paced environment.

You will be responsible for converting warm enquiries into confirmed bookings through consultative conversations with parents and customers, while also acting as a key customer contact during live events. Alongside supporting event operations, you’ll help identify upsell opportunities, contribute to process improvements, and support wider operational projects as the business continues to grow.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an ambitious motorsport business at a key stage of expansion, with genuine opportunities for progression and development.
