What is professional off road racing?

Professional off road racing is a motorsport where drivers compete in specially designed vehicles on unpaved, rugged terrains such as dirt, sand, mud, and gravel. Unlike traditional circuit racing, off road races can include natural obstacles like hills, rocks, and water crossings, making them both challenging and thrilling. Competitors often race in events such as the Baja 1000, Dakar Rally, or stadium off road series. The sport requires a combination of driving skill, endurance, navigation, and vehicle durability. Many professional off road racers are sponsored by automotive companies and compete internationally.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a professional off road racer?

To thrive as a Professional Off Road Racer, you need advanced driving skills, in-depth knowledge of vehicle mechanics, and experience in competitive racing environments, often supported by specialized racing licenses. Familiarity with GPS navigation systems, telemetry data analysis tools, and off-road vehicle modifications is crucial for performance and safety. Exceptional focus, quick decision-making, and strong teamwork abilities set top racers apart. These skills ensure racers can navigate challenging terrains, adapt to changing conditions, and consistently perform at a high level in demanding competitions.

What are some common challenges faced by professional off road racers and how can they be addressed?

Professional off-road racers often encounter unpredictable terrain, extreme weather conditions, and mechanical failures during races. To overcome these challenges, racers must maintain peak physical fitness, continuously develop driving and navigation skills, and work closely with their support teams to ensure vehicles are well-prepared and quickly repaired when needed. Building experience in diverse environments and participating in regular training can also help racers adapt to unexpected obstacles and maintain safety during high-pressure events.

Job description

We made history and now we work to transform the future - for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

Racing is where our story began.

In 1901, Henry Ford climbed into a car he built himself-"Sweepstakes"-and beat America's most famous driver. He wasn't a racer, but he had to win. He did. Ford Motor Company was born from that victory.

That fighting spirit lives on in Ford Racing today. We're the engineers, strategists, and competitors who bring Ford's track-tested edge into every vehicle we build. Every track, every stage, every proving ground-that's where we prove ourselves.

The result: one of the world's most iconic brands, legendary nameplates, and a team unmatched in the industry.

Our mantra: Race to win, engineer to lead.

If you're a competitor, innovator, or performance obsessive, Ford Racing is where you belong. Help us write the next chapter.

In this position...

  • Lead Ford Racing's production off-road racing strategy by showcasing the capability, durability and innovation of vehicles customers can buy. 
  • The role transforms competition into product validation, brand leadership and customer inspiration.

  • Ability to coordinate projects across multiple teams and race series
  • Highly motivated self-starter with excellent communication skills and a flexible approach to working hours.
  • Strong program management skills, with ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
  • Experience delivering results on-time and within budget

You may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply!

As an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice. You can choose what your Ford future will look like: will your story span the globe, or keep you close to home? Will your career be a deep dive into what you love, or a series of new teams and new skills? Will you be a leader, a changemaker, a technical expert, a culture builder...or all of the above?
