You will manage the office, support the founders, coordinate with suppliers and partners, and help keep our funded R&D projects on track. As the company grows, so will this role. This is not a back-office admin job. You will be embedded in a small, fast-moving technical team - sitting alongside scientists and engineers, understanding what they need, and making sure the operational side of the company works so they can focus on the technology. You will also be part of the wider global operations team, coordinating with colleagues across the business on commercial, administrative, and strategic priorities. You'll have direct access to the founders from day one. We don't expect you to arrive knowing everything. If you've never prepared a grant claim or maintained safety records, we'll teach you. What we need is someone sharp, organised, and independent with a good sense of personal responsibility - the kind of person who figures things out, follows through, and doesn't wait to be told what to do next. • Keep the Milton Park office, lab, and workshop running - you are the reason the environment works, • Support the CTO and CEO with scheduling, travel, meeting coordination, and whatever else the day throws at you, • Organise meetings: set agendas, take notes, chase actions until they're done, • Manage procurement: raise purchase orders, track deliveries, source new suppliers, chase outstanding orders, • Monitor inventory alongside the technical team and make sure the lab never runs out of what it needs, • Help build the operational processes and systems the company needs - procurement workflows, onboarding checklists, document templates, reporting routines, • Support onboarding of new team members and handle basic HR administration, • Help collect inputs for grant reports and financial claims when needed, • Help maintain health and safety records with input from the technical team, • Prepare and distribute documents for partners, investors, and events, • Contribute to how the company organises itself as it scales - you will have a voice in shaping the structures, tools, and ways of working that carry us from 10 to 20+ people, • Relentless follow-through - when you're asked to chase something, it gets done. Every time., • Organised and reliable - you manage multiple threads at once and nothing falls through the cracks, • Independent and resourceful - you figure things out rather than waiting for instructions, • Good communicator - clear in writing, confident chasing people at all levels, comfortable saying "this is overdue" to a senior engineer, • Comfortable with procurement: purchase orders, suppliers, deliveries, • Good with standard business tools: spreadsheets, email, shared drives, calendars, task trackers, • Comfortable working in a technical or scientific environment - you don't need to be a scientist, but you shouldn't be intimidated by a lab, • Happy in a role that is broad, varied, and evolving, • Previous experience in a science, engineering, R&D, or university research environment, • Experience supporting grant-funded or publicly funded projects (even basic familiarity), • A degree in a science or technical subject, • Experience with HR or people systems (Personio, BreatheHR, or similar), • Previous startup or SME experience, • LLM basic literacy You're a few years into your career and looking for a role with real ownership and variety. Maybe you've been a research group administrator who kept a PI's lab and grants running while they focused on the science. Maybe you've been an operations assistant at a startup who ended up being the person everyone relied on to keep things moving. Maybe you've been a coordinator in an R&D organization where your job was making sure nothing got dropped. The common thread: you're the person who follows through. You send the reminder, chase the input, update the tracker, and close the loop - not because someone told you to, but because that's how you're wired. You're drawn to science and technology even if it's not your background, and you want to be close to the action, not behind a reception desk. You want a role that grows with the company. What starts as keeping operations running and being the CTO's right hand becomes leading operations for a scaling deep-tech business. • The CTO's right hand - direct access to the founders, • Part of a global operations team - coordinate with colleagues across the business, not just the Milton Park site, • Build the operational backbone of a company, not just maintain someone else’s, • A role that grows as the company grows - shape how we work as we scale, • Mission-driven team building real technology for the energy transition, • No two days the same, • Competitive salary and benefits #J-18808-Ljbffr

You'll look after the office, lab, and workshop environment, handle the administration that keeps a small company organised, coordinate with suppliers, and support the CTO with diaries, travel, and meetings. You'll be sitting alongside scientists and engineers, so you'll see how a deep-tech company actually works from the inside - and you'll have direct contact with the founders from day one. We don't expect you to arrive knowing everything. What we need is someone who is well organised, communicates clearly, follows things through, and doesn't need to be chased. You'll be part of the wider global operations team, so you'll also work with colleagues outside the UK on day-to-day administrative and coordination tasks. • Keep the Milton Park site running - supplies, deliveries, visitors, contractors, keeping shared spaces in order, • Be the first point of contact for building matters and site logistics, • Help maintain health and safety records with input from the technical team, • Support the CTO with diary management, meeting scheduling, and travel bookings, • Organise meetings: circulate agendas, take notes, and follow up on actions until they're closed, • Help new joiners settle in - equipment, accounts, induction paperwork, • Handle basic HR administration such as holiday records and personnel files, • Keep company files, trackers, and shared drives tidy and up to date, • Help collect inputs and paperwork for grant reports and financial claims, • Prepare and format documents for partners, investors, and events, • Suggest and help tidy up the small day-to-day processes that make the office work better, • Raise purchase orders, track deliveries, and chase anything outstanding, • Get quotes and help find new suppliers when the team needs something unfamiliar, • Keep an eye on lab and workshop stock alongside the technical team so nothing runs out, • The right to work in the UK without sponsorship, • Experience in an office, administrative, or coordination role, • Well organised and reliable - you can hold several things at once without dropping any of them, • Follow-through - when you're asked to chase something, it gets done, • Clear written and spoken communication; comfortable politely reminding people, including senior colleagues, that something is overdue, • Confident with everyday business tools: spreadsheets, email, calendars, shared drives, • Sensible and resourceful - you'll ask when you need to, and work it out when you can, • Comfortable being around a lab and technical work; you don't need a science background, but a workshop shouldn't put you off, • Comfortable with procurement: purchase orders, suppliers, deliveries, • Happy in a broad, varied role where the tasks change week to week, • Exposure to a university research group, lab, or R&D environment, • Previous startup or small-company experience, • You're early in your career - perhaps a recent graduate, or one to two years into working life - and you want a job with real variety and responsibility rather than one narrow task repeated., • You might have worked in a university department, run the logistics for a student society or sports club, done admin or coordination work alongside your studies, or spent a year in an office role and found you were the person everyone came to when something needed sorting., • The common thread: you close the loop. You send the reminder, update the tracker, chase the missing form, and tell people when something is late., • You're interested in science and technology even if it isn't your background., • Work directly with the founders in a team of around ten people, • Learn how a deep-tech company runs - procurement, grant-funded projects, manufacturing, hiring - from the inside, • Part of a global operations team, so you'll work with colleagues across the business, not just Milton Park, • Genuine variety: no two days look the same, • Room to grow as the company grows, with training and support along the way, • Mission-driven team building real technology for the energy transition, • Competitive salary and benefits for an early-career role #J-18808-Ljbffr
