About Gumball 3000

Gumball 3000 is a global lifestyle and entertainment brand, best known for its annual 3,000-mile

international rally combining automotive culture, music, fashion, entertainment and luxury

hospitality.

Alongside the annual Rally, Gumball delivers a year-round calendar of events, parties, launches,

brand activations, VIP experiences and charitable events around the world.

We are looking for an experienced and ambitious Events Coordinator to join our Events Team

and help deliver these experiences to an exceptionally high standard.

The Role

This is a hands-on events role supporting the planning, coordination and delivery of Gumball

3000's global event calendar.

You will work across everything from large-scale public events and automotive activations to VIP

hospitality, parties, dinners, brand experiences and the annual Gumball 3000 Rally.

Working closely with our internal team, production agencies, venues, contractors and suppliers,

you will help take events from initial concept through planning and production to onsite delivery

and breakdown.

Gumball events are fast-paced, international and often logistically complex. We are therefore

looking for someone who is a genuine self-starter – positive, resourceful and solutions-focused,

with the confidence to take ownership rather than wait to be told what to do.

You will need to remain calm under pressure, think quickly when plans change and maintain

exceptionally high standards even when working against tight deadlines.
