Crew Recruitment Manager

A rare opportunity has arisen to join the exciting and high-energy Recruitment department within the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race team, reporting to the Crew Recruitment Director.

You'll work with colleagues in the Recruitment team as well as the wider business, and you should be equally comfortable in front of a camera, a microphone or a room full of people, as you are on the phone or behind a desk!

You will be in charge of a team of approximately 60 Race Crew, up to 22 of whom will be on board at any one time. You, along with the support of a professional mate on-board, have a unique opportunity to develop the different personalities in your team to create a competitive entry in the challenge of a lifetime.
