Job Title: Events and Community Engagement Manager
Salary Range: £40,000–£45,000 (Either 5 days full time or 4 days for a more senior candidate)
Location / Working Model: Thames Valley | Hybrid
Role Feature: Events, placemaking and community engagement

Our client is seeking an experienced Events and Community Engagement Manager to shape an outstanding occupier experience across a major commercial destination. You’ll combine events, community building, marketing and stakeholder engagement to create meaningful experiences that encourage people to connect, participate and spend more time on site. This is a highly visible role where you’ll work with property, placemaking and external partners to develop engaging campaigns, signature events and community initiatives. You’ll also have the opportunity to strengthen the destination’s profile, build valuable partnerships and identify new opportunities that enhance both the customer experience and the wider commercial proposition.

The Events and Community Engagement Manager will develop and deliver engagement strategies that bring the site’s community to life, increase participation and create a strong sense of place.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
