Operations Executive
About the Client
HYROX is the world’s fastest-growing fitness race, operating across five continents with a global community of athletes and partners. As we continue to scale across APAC, we are expanding our event planning capabilities and are looking for talented individuals to join our Operations team, focusing on Event Layout & Planning.
The Role
This role focuses on event layout design, planning, and optimisation across HYROX events in APAC.
You will collaborate closely with regional and global teams to translate operational requirements into clear, efficient, and scalable venue layouts, covering:
Racecourse design
Athlete flow
Spectator experience
Partner activations
This is a planning-first role, with most work done remotely. Occasional travel may be required for selected events to support on-site validation and continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities
1. Event Layout & Design
Create and refine event floorplans using CAD-based tools (e.g., AutoCAD, SketchUp, Vectorworks)
Design and integrate key zones, including:
Racecourse
Start/finish areas
Warm-up and recovery zones
Merchandise areas
Partner activations
Ensure layouts are clear, structured, and scalable across different venue types
2. Flow Planning & Optimisation
Plan athlete and spectator flow to ensure safe, efficient, and engaging event experiences
Support start wave configuration and capacity planning as events scale
Translate operational inputs into practical layout solutions
3. Cross-functional Collaboration
Partner with internal teams (Operations, Race Management, Commercial, Merchandise, Experience) to align layouts with functional requirements
Incorporate sponsor and partner requirements while maintaining overall event flow
4. Feasibility & Compliance
Work within venue specifications, guidelines, and constraints to ensure feasibility
Ensure layouts comply with local regulations, safety standards, and operational requirements
5. Continuous Improvement
Iterate layouts based on post-event learnings and feedback from on-ground teams
Standardise best practices across events to improve efficiency and consistency
6. Documentation & Planning Infrastructure
Develop and maintain layout schematics, flow maps, and planning templates
Build and manage a structured repository of layouts as a single source of truth
Support the development of internal playbooks and guidelines
Requirements
Your Profile
Experience in event planning, spatial design, architecture, engineering, or related fields
(Entry-level candidates with relevant academic or project experience are welcome)
Proficiency in CAD or layout design tools (AutoCAD, SketchUp, Vectorworks, or similar)
Strong spatial thinking and attention to detail, with the ability to translate concepts into practical layouts
Comfortable working in a remote, cross-regional environment with multiple stakeholders
Strong communication and collaboration skills
Ability to manage multiple projects and timelines in a fast-paced environment
Willingness to travel occasionally for key events (selective, not frequent)
Passion for sports, fitness, or live events is a plus
Fluent in English; additional Asian languages are an advantage
