Conference and Events Business Manager

Location: Cirencester

Salary: £38,784 – £46,049 per annum

Contract: Permanent, full time (35 hours per week, flexibility required for evenings and weekends)

Be part of something special.

The University is one of the UK’s leading specialist universities, set in a stunning Cotswold campus. With a large and growing Conference & events portfolio, they are now looking for an experienced and commercially driven Conferencing & Events Manager to help shape the next stage of their 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 their 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

You will bring:

  • Proven experience in events, conferencing, hospitality or venue management
  • 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 them?

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

If you are looking for a role where you can lead, influence and build something sustainable, they would love to hear from you.

Apply now and be part of delivering exceptional events and experiences at The University.

Closing date: 17 June 2026

Interview dates: 1st July 2026
