Marketing & Business Development Intern — Europe
Full time
Remote
This is not a conventional internship. It’s a rare opportunity for someone with exceptional potential to work directly alongside one of the most exciting people in the natural capital sector. Elena Doms is building Oxygen Conservation’s presence across Europe — representing OC at high-profile events from Paris to Riyadh, and building the investor and landowner relationships that will grow our estate portfolio well beyond the UK. You’ll work alongside her on all of it: logistics, content and outreach, but also real pieces of the work itself — sitting this close to actual dealmaking and investor relationships is something most interns never get near. It’s varied by design: one week you’re in the room for an investor conversation, the next you’re deep in unglamorous admin that keeps it all running. No two weeks will look the same, and that’s the point.
Closing date: Until we find an exceptional addition to the team.
Apply nowYou’ll be working as a genuine partner to Elena in a small, high-trust team. Your ability to switch between engaging with people to leading logistics, and to keep pace when priorities shift at short notice, is what will make you brilliant in this role. We’re looking for:
IMPACT
- Confident Outreach: You’re happy introducing yourself to a stranger at a conference, or sending a cold email to a high-profile contact and following it up.
- Clear, Professional Writer: You can draft outreach and correspondence that lands well with senior people.
- Attitude Over Experience: Direct marketing or events experience isn’t required — we’re looking for potential and attitude over job titles on a polished CV.
ENVIRONMENT
- Mission-Connected: You’re genuinely curious about natural capital and nature finance, and excited by what OC is actually restoring on the ground — not just the deals that fund it.
ADVENTURE
- Opportunity to Travel: You’ll attend events across Europe and are comfortable being given real responsibility fast.
- Curious About AI: No need to already be confident with AI tools (we’ll support you!) but a willingness to use them to work faster is a must.
TOGETHER
- Adaptability: This week’s focus will change, maybe multiple times. This is not the role for you if you want a roadmap set out months in advance.
- Equally Game for Either Day: You can move between an exciting day (a major event, an interesting new contact) and a mundane one (working through a hundred LinkedIn messages) without losing enthusiasm for either.
You might have skills in some, but not all, of the areas above. Whatever your background, if you think you can make a real contribution to what we’re building, we’d love to hear from you.

1Apply
This is the first step to becoming part of the team. Simply click the ‘Apply Now’ button to complete our application form, and show us how awesome you are!
CV’s are needed, but on their own we don’t feel they tell us enough about who you really are. So, we have listed just a couple of questions to allow us to learn more about you.
2Opportunity to Shine
If your application is successful a member (or two) of the team will have an introductory call with you, to answer any initial questions you may have. After which, if successful, we will set an exciting role specific challenge for you to complete in advance of your interview. An opportunity for us to see you shine.
3Interview
We hate for this part to be too corporate and regimented. Instead, we will have a relaxed conversation to get to know one another, an opportunity to ask questions and learn more.
We recognise that this process is two way and that you will be interviewing us perhaps even more than we will be interviewing you – we promise that it won’t be a dull process.
4Decision
If our passion for what we do aligns with yours and we think you’ll be a great addition, we will invite you to join our growing team. If you love what you’ve learnt we hope you will accept, to be a part of our mission to Scale Conservation.
