OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION

Studies have shown that some people from marginalised or underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet all of the hiring guidelines or qualifications. Whoever you are, even if you don’t meet all of the criteria, if you can demonstrate a variety of skills and experience relevant to this role, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire! At TransitionZero, we’re looking for people who are genuinely passionate about what they do, and we welcome all people, regardless of their background.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a unique opportunity to work directly with our CEO as a trusted right hand and as a member of our central operations team. You will act as an embedded partner in the day to day running of the organisation, helping to keep things moving and bringing clarity to fast evolving priorities. You will be someone the CEO can delegate to with confidence, whether that is drafting funder responses, managing inbound queries, or preparing for critical meetings.
This role would suit a recent business graduate who is eager to get stuck in and support the C-suite with business operations, with a passion for climate tech and a view to progressing into a more senior operations or development role, subject to performance and budget. It is a highly dynamic, fast-paced position, ideal for someone ready to take on a variety of challenges and learn directly from the founder within a growing, tech-focused nonprofit.
