The Texas Rugby Union (TRU) is seeking a part-time, contract Events Manager to lead the planning and execution of our premier union-hosted events. This role is a vital part of our operations, ensuring that competitions and programming run smoothly, professionally, and in alignment with TRU’s commitment to excellence.
Events the Manager Will Support:

- Gulf Coast Super Regional: Early to Mid-May (typically hosted by TRU in even years)
- TRU Hall of Fame (HOF) Ceremony: Last weekend of August
- TRU Summit & Annual General Meeting (AGM): Last weekend of August

About the Role:
This is a remote position with required travel to TRU-hosted events. The Events Manager will be responsible for logistics, budgeting, on-site execution, sponsor support, and post-event wrap-up. The role requires strong organization, attention to detail, and the ability to work closely with TRU leadership, referees, hosts, and volunteers.
A Year of Transition:
2025 marks a transition year for this position. Longtime event leader Traci Young will continue to oversee the Hall of Fame and Summit, and the incoming Events Manager will work alongside her to get ramped up and ensure a smooth handoff for the future. Please feel free to reach out to Traci with any questions at traci@texasrugbyunoin.com.
