Job Description: Ultra Challenge specialises in creating unique challenges and in 2024 over 36,000 people took on one of our ‘Ultra Challenge’ events, which is now the UK’s leading series of treks & trail runs and raises over £10 million for charity each year. In 2025 we plan to build on that success and help more people achieve their personal goals.
We have an excellent event’s team who bring these events to life and deliver first class support & hospitality for participants. We’re on the lookout for hardworking & resilient individuals with management experience to join our team and get involved in something special.

You will have experience working on mass participation events, outdoors events, or within the hospitality sector – and managing, or leading, a team of staff. If you have the determination to thrive on events with a ‘can-do’ attitude, ambition of delivering excellence and you are looking to further your experience in outdoor participation events – this maybe for you.

Ideally you should be physically fit as the work can be demanding, and we are looking for someone who is reliable and wants to become part of a close-knit team putting on some of the UK’s best events.
Great events need a great team to deliver, we are always on the lookout for Event Managers who want to develop their management skills further.

You will be at the core of our events team – in charge of a small team who will be carrying out different roles over the event weekend. This may include site set-up on the Thursday &/or Friday including some heavy lifting, setting up tents, gazebos, event branding, hospitality & merchandise areas, the registration zone and working to deadlines to get the event sites in great shape for participants.
Over the weekend ‘event days’ it’s all about providing the best experience for participants, overseeing your site, quality control of kit, keeping your site clean & tidy, managing a team of 5-20 staff on site and other general site maintenance jobs are some of the key tasks as a Site Manager.
You will learn on the job from our experienced Event Managers and will have the option to select your preferred choice of working days when completing your event availability. We allocate shifts dependent on staff availability and shift patterns for the event.

We are seeking new Site Managers who can commit to work on several of our Ultra Challenge events over the season (which runs from late March – mid October) and to become part of our successful, fun event team.
