About The Job

As Guinness World Records prepares for the next era of record-breaking, we are officially opening applications for our First Freelance Official Adjudicator for Moon Attempts. 

For nearly 70 years, our adjudicators have verified incredible achievements across every continent. The next logical step? Off Earth. 

In this pioneering role, you will attend and verify official Guinness World Records attempts conducted beyond Earth including orbital missions and lunar activations.

Role Description 

The Freelance Official Adjudicator (Space Division) will be responsible for attending events and verifying official Guinness World Records attempts conducted beyond Earth, including orbital missions and future lunar activations. 

Day-to-day tasks include observing and adjudicating record attempts in environments where gravity may vary, ensuring they meet the organisation’s strict guidelines and standards. Responsibilities also include preparing detailed reports and certificates and representing GWR in a professional and engaging manner to participants, mission teams, and extraterrestrial audiences. 

This contract-based position requires clear communication and interaction with participants, witnesses, astronauts, and event organizers.
