The Royal Agricultural University (RAU) is one of the UK’s leading specialist universities, set in a stunning Cotswold campus. With a large and growing Conference & events portfolio, we are now looking for an experienced and commercially driven Conferencing & Events Manager to help shape the next stage of our development.
About the role
This is a key leadership role within the Campus Experience team, responsible for driving the commercial performance and operational delivery of our events and conferencing business.
From corporate conferences and weddings to summer schools and high-profile University events, you will lead a small team and work across departments to deliver exceptional experiences and sustainable commercial growth.
You will:
* Take ownership of the full events lifecycle, from enquiry through to delivery
* Lead and develop a high-performing events team
* Drive revenue growth and identify new commercial opportunities
* Improve processes, planning and ways of working to increase efficiency and consistency
* Build strong relationships across the University to ensure events are well-planned and delivered
You will play a central role in shaping how the University approaches commercial activity — balancing ambition with operational reality.
About you

* A strong track record of delivering commercial targets and growing business
* Excellent leadership and organisational skills
* The ability to plan and deliver complex events with professionalism and calm
* A proactive, solutions-focused approach and strong stakeholder skills
* Commercial awareness combined with a commitment to high-quality customer experience
Knowledge of the higher education sector is desirable but not essential—what matters most is your drive and ability to make things happen.
Why join us?
This is an opportunity to make a real impact in a University that is ambitious about its future.
You’ll benefit from:
* A supportive and collaborative working environment
* A beautiful campus location in the heart of the Cotswolds
* Generous holiday entitlement and pension scheme
* Opportunities for development and progression
* The chance to shape and grow a key area of the University’s activity
