Job Description: Cambridge Rugby is entering an exciting new phase in the development, building a strong commercial team to support an ambitious club that combines high-performance rugby with a substantial community club encompassing men’s, women’s, boys’ and girls’ sport.

We are particularly interested in people who are ambitious, commercially minded, energetic and comfortable taking ownership. Experience within rugby or professional sport is not essential. We are equally interested in talented people from Cambridge’s wider business, events, hospitality, sales, marketing and communications communities.

Title: Commercial Executive – Marketing & Communications
Reports to: Commercial Manager
Responsibility: Operational delivery of marketing and communications

Role Purpose:
To take operational ownership of Cambridge Rugby’s marketing, communications and content output and significantly improve how the Club communicates with its members, supporters, sponsors and wider Cambridge community.

Key Responsibilities:
• Manage the Club’s day-to-day marketing and communications.
• Manage Cambridge Rugby’s social-media channels.
• Maintain and develop the Club website.
• Produce regular content promoting teams, players, events and club activity.
• Coordinate photography, video and other digital content using club’s current network of content creators.
• Promote fixtures, hospitality and commercial events.
• Develop email campaigns and supporter/member communications.
• Create and deliver marketing campaigns that increase attendance and engagement.
• Deliver sponsor activation across digital and physical channels.
• Ensure agreed sponsor exposure and communications are delivered.

• Develop content calendars and forward communications plans.
• Maintain consistency of the Cambridge Rugby brand.
• Support press releases and media relationships.
• Track engagement and campaign performance.
• Identify new ways to grow Cambridge Rugby’s digital audience and commercial reach.

What We’re Looking For:
Experience with social media, websites, email marketing, photography/video, Canva/Adobe or similar tools would be valuable. A creative, energetic communicator who understands modern digital marketing and can produce content rather than simply commission it.
This role could be suitable for someone looking for a part time or full time role.
