GWR:
Freelance Adjudicators are fully trained adjudicators who can represent the Guinness World Records (GWR) brand and can adjudicate all types of record attempts.
The Adjudicator is not a permanent member of staff and works only in the capacity of Official Adjudicator when required for events, adjudications, TV appearances, and other record initiatives organized by the GWR London Consultancy, PR or Marketing, TV & Digital, and other teams.
What you will do:
Adjudicate: verify live record attempts (mostly commercial record attempts), primarily in India, often at short notice, adjudications can take place in remote harder to reach areas! However, the ability to travel globally for adjudications may also be required. Report: on the outcome of these record attempts, providing the necessary evidence and documentation. Key Liaison: between the client and GWR. You will be the only representative of GWR the client is likely to meet. Your time spent in contact with the client is hugely important in creating a positive experience whether or not the record attempt is successful! Customer Centric: building an understanding and trusting relationship with the client will be necessary for every record attempt you adjudicate. Collaboration: working alongside the London Consultancy Records Creative Team, Account Managers and GWR's clients to prepare to adjudicate record attempts. Ambassador: as mentioned above, you will likely be the only person who the client will meet. Therefore, as a GWR Adjudicator you will represent the brand and it's values.
