The Role
Oxford University Event Venues (OUEV) is offering an extraordinary opportunity within a truly unique venue.

The principal ceremonial hall for Oxford University graduation ceremonies, it is also an exceptional venue for performances, film shoots, banquets and prestigious talks as well as a global building of interest.
The Operations Manager role is a diverse, interesting and senior position which encompasses delivering all internal events, commercial venue hire and visitor experience within the Sheldonian Theatre.
