Personal Assistant to the CEO of Oxygen Conservation

Role Overview

Full time

Remote

We usually lead with a playful job title. Not this time. This is a serious, and seriously exciting, role. It calls to someone who wants to sit at the nerve centre of the world’s first natural capital unicorn company.

As we scale towards £5bn AUM, the CEO’s impact must grow exponentially. This position exists to help that happen. You will work directly with the CEO in a high-trust, high-expectation environment, turning strategy into action and building momentum. You’ll focus on protecting the CEO’s focus by owning time, information, and operations as one coherent system – sharpening decision-making and ensuring they land with exceptional execution. The role anticipates what’s coming, sees around corners, and removes friction early so progress doesn’t just continue, it compounds.

This role is for someone who thrives on turning complexity into clarity and intent into action. All while relentlessly raising the bar through better processes, cutting-edge technology and collaborative ways of working. You’ll deliver “unreasonable” service under high responsibility, discretion, and speed.

This is a demanding role by design. It is not about administration or instruction-taking. It is for someone who wants to operate close to the action, with autonomy, responsibility, and the expectation that they will grow as fast, if not faster, than the business grows. If you are looking for predictability, repetition, or reasonable expectations, this is not for you. If you want to operate close to real decisions, with real responsibility, read on.

It would be amazing if you have

We believe in recruiting exceptional people, whatever their background, and shaping roles that allow them to achieve extraordinary things. This role suits someone who wants responsibility, pace, and proximity to meaningful decisions — and who is energised, not intimidated, by that challenge.

Specifically, we’re looking for:

ENVIRONMENT

  • Passionate about the environment and achieving real impact. Our commitment to the environment is unwavering and guides us in every decision we make. It is the driving force that propels us forward. We are looking for that same commitment in you.

IMPACT

  • Upholds high personal standards and notices the details others miss.
  • Maintains absolute discretion and trustworthiness across all working relationships
  • Highly organised, intensely detail-oriented, and personally committed to high standards.
  • Demonstrates clear, concise written and verbal communication.

 ADVENTURE

  • Has a genuine curiosity for AI, automation, and emerging technologies, with the instinct to apply them practically to reduce friction, increase leverage, and future proof the CEO’s operating model.
  • Thrives in ambiguity, pace, and pressure.
  • Up for anything – whether it’s coordinating a last-minute trip or sourcing the perfect gift, you handle it with grace and humour.

TOGETHER 

  • A natural relationship-builder who creates trust and connection quickly both internally and externally.
  • Someone who builds rapport effortlessly, with an instinct for diplomacy and kindness with the ability to suggest improvements and alternatives to solve problems and deliver outcomes
  • And finally — because it genuinely matters to us — you are a kind, grounded, and caring person who enjoys working closely with others and contributing to a positive environment (including, yes, sharing food).

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.

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.
