The Country Land and Business Association (CLA) is a forward-thinking membership organisation representing land, property and rural businesses across England and Wales. For over 100 years, we have championed the rural economy, with members owning or managing around half of rural land.

We are now looking for an experienced Events Manager to join our Midlands team.

This varied role leads the planning and delivery of events for CLA members, stakeholders and sponsors in the Midlands region. From seminars and networking events to regional shows and conferences, you’ll create engaging experiences that support members and strengthen the CLA’s presence across the region.

What you’ll be doing

• Planning and delivering regional member events, seminars, shows and conferences.
• Coordinating venues, suppliers, bookings, attendee records and on-site arrangements.

• Supporting sponsorship activity and commercial partnerships.
• Maintaining accurate event records and CRM data.
