Overview

About Us

High Impact Athletes (HIA) was founded by Olympians to mobilise the sports community behind evidence-based giving. Our flagship platform, Race for Impact, runs in partnership with HYROX and turns racers into fundraisers for highly effective charities.

The scale: High Impact Athletes have influenced over $3M+ from athletes donations in our lifetime and over the past 12 months we have raised a further $8M+ from Race For Impact across 50+ events in 15 countries, with 100,000+ unique donors. We are aiming for over 5% of all HYROX participants to become Impact Racers within three years, generating $25-50M annually for effective charities. This year we expect to move $10M-$20M in donations across three legal entities, with a UK charity launching in 2026.

The opportunity: The finance and operations function has outgrown its current part-time shape. We need a senior operator who can take the back-of-house off the Managing Director’s desk and build the institutional finance and ops function our organisation needs.

Our Values

  1. Extreme Integrity. We really, really care about the work, each other, and trust. Trust is our most precious asset. It is the foundation everything else is built on.
  2. Hustle and Heart. We are a mission-led team, not just high-performance. We ground ourselves in stories, not just stats. We are optimists who take action.
  3. Stack the Firewood. Everyone pitches in. Everyone carries the load. If someone is swamped, we step in. It is not about job descriptions, it’s about getting it done together.
  4. Highlight Reels. World-class craft. We are committed to work that drops jaws and creates movements.
