In 2027 the UK will host the Grand Départ of both the Tour De France and the Tour De France Femme, Avec Zwift. This will be the first time in history that both races have departed from the same country, outside of France. A landmark social impact programme will also be delivered across the UK, tackling inactivity, improving mental wellbeing, boosting economic growth and supporting communities to thrive.  

A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) Grand Départ GB 2027  will maintain oversight of the delivery of the events and will manage public funding on behalf of DCMS, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and UK Sport.

The SPV is a Joint Venture between UK Events Ltd and British Cycling. British Cycling will deliver the operational and business function, social impact and volunteer programme along with all consumer facing functions, on behalf of partners.

We are now recruiting a talented, experienced and passionate communications expert to lead the strategy, planning and delivery of communications activity aligned to this mega sporting event, working closing alongside multiple partners to ensure a coordinated and impactful approach.

This role will sit in the Communications team within British Cycling’s Brand and Engagement Directorate which works tirelessly to tell great stories about our athletes, members, events, programmes and impact, elevating the profile of our work.
