Stores and Facilities Assistant in Brackley

Athena Racing are expanding our operations team with the goal of winning the America’s Cup, the oldest international competition still contested in any sport. We are building an agile, creative and collaborative team to compete and win at the pinnacle of the sport of sailing. Our team values have a sharp focus on maximizing performance from our designs, while fostering a collaborative and supportive environment.

We are now looking for a Stores and Facilities Assistant to join us. This is a hands-on role at the heart of the action, keeping our stores running smoothly, supporting logistics, and helping maintain the high-performance environment that powers the team’s success on the water.

You’ll be part of a small, tight-knit crew where every detail matters and where your organisation, flexibility, and initiative make a real difference.
