The Motorland Aragón General Manager Opportunity
Motorland Aragón has announced an opening for a general manager, signaling a strategic step to fill the leadership gap as the organization continues to grow. Following internal discussions about leadership direction and governance, the decision to appoint a new chief comes after careful consideration by the executive team and the Motorland Council, with the aim of reinforcing accountability and driving progress across the facility and its programs.
The advertised annual gross compensation for the role is 60,216 euros, to be paid in 14 installments. The recruitment process, along with a project proposal from candidates, will be reviewed during the interview stage. A selection committee comprising representatives from Ciudad del Motor and the Aragon Development Institute will oversee the process, ensuring a thorough evaluation of each candidate’s vision and leadership plan.
Key responsibilities emphasize directing and coordinating resources to ensure the establishment, development, and ongoing operation of the organization. The role requires a comprehensive understanding of activities related to wheel sports and ancillary services, with reporting to the Board of Directors. The candidate will be tasked with organizing the installation, preparing the necessary documents and reports, and taking decisive actions to meet objectives, minimize risks, and improve the overall quality of event management and service delivery.
Collaboration with all departments is essential to secure support, set priorities, coordinate activities, and achieve optimal outcomes. The general manager will oversee facility management, coordinate on-site events, and manage daily customer interactions. The role also involves developing policies, procedures, and training programs that respond to market dynamics and evolving customer needs.
Regarding qualifications, candidates should hold an undergraduate or graduate degree, preferably in engineering, economics, or business. A minimum of five years of experience in similar leadership roles is expected, with proven track records in managing facilities, companies, departments, or activities related to motor sports. Experience in organizing sporting events and leading teams is highly desirable. A C1 English proficiency level or an equivalent assessment is required, along with availability to work on weekends and other times as needed.
In parallel, a separate item titled “The View of Urquizu” offers context regarding industry perspectives on Technopark and its leadership. At the invitation of the Vox parliamentary group in the Cortes de Aragón, Technopark’s director, Daniel Urquizu, joined the Industry Commission for a discussion. The exchange highlighted that governance and viability remain central to ongoing debates about the complex and its leadership, with emphasis on accountability and future-focused planning.
The discussion referenced historical considerations, noting that the organization has sought to balance long-standing challenges with a strong intention to attract talent and foster collaboration among universities, businesses, and sports initiatives. The conversation outlined three main demands: acknowledging past missteps to prevent repetition, enabling coordination among diverse companies to deliver reliable customer solutions, and committing to a budget framework that funds professionals and future-ready projects.
Urquizu described TeknoPark’s mission as a commitment to positioning Bajo Aragón on the map and continuing to attract talent. The narrative described a diverse ecosystem of companies that integrates university, industry, and sport, illustrating a broader strategy of community-building and regional development. Technopark’s leadership also referenced financial results, noting assets and ongoing positive performance, and underscoring a public-service ethos tied to social value and sound governance as the foundation of the Technology Park’s public services and assets.
The text reflects the ongoing dialogue about leadership, accountability, and the role of public-private partnerships in advancing regional innovation and sporting excellence. It highlights how strategic leadership, when paired with transparent governance and careful budgeting, can sustain growth and deliver tangible benefits for the broader community.
