Role Overview
Remote
The UK natural capital market is being built right now. This is your chance to join a small, high-performing team at Oxygen Conservation who are working on landmark projects that are helping to shaping it – and contribute towards their delivery.
We are scaling to £1 billion of natural capital assets under management (AUM) by 2030. Delivering this ambition depends on transactional excellence at pace. The Transactions Intern role has been created to strengthen our legal and investment functions at the exact moment we need them most.
If you want to gain real commercial experience in a business doing genuinely impactful work, we’d love to meet you.
Closing date: 18/05/2026
Apply nowThis internship position is designed for someone who combines intellectual curiosity, practical delivery, and a genuine commitment to environmental improvement alongside strong technical capabilities. You don’t need prior legal or investment experience, nor any professional qualifications – what matters most is attitude, initiative, and a desire to learn fast in a high-performance team.
Like everyone at Oxygen Conservation, you’re purpose-driven, collaborative, and talented. The kind of person who asks good questions, gets stuck in whatever comes your way, and makes the colleagues around you better.
Here’s a snapshot of the strengths you’ll bring:
ENVIRONMENT
-
Genuine passion for nature and conservation, and a belief in the role that law and investment can play in restoring ecosystems.
-
Motivation to contribute to work where commercial success and environmental impact are directly linked.
-
Alignment with our mission of Scaling Conservation, and a desire to help prove that conservation-led investment can deliver institutional-grade returns.
IMPACT
-
Awareness of the wider investment landscape – including the role of institutional capital, and how deals are sourced, diligenced, and closed.
-
Strong written communication – clear, precise, and concise. You can review documents, identify key issues, and summarise findings accurately.
-
High attention to detail, with the ability to maintain accuracy under time pressure.
-
Strong working knowledge of AI tools and a track record of using them to accelerate real work. You can design prompts, build simple automations, and create workflows that make repeatable tasks faster, more accurate, and more scalable.
-
Highly organised with strong project management skills – able to manage multiple tasks and deadlines without compromising on quality.
-
Genuine excitement about where technology is heading, and comfort using AI to create original outputs – briefings, analysis, research, documentation.
-
Competency with Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
ADVENTURE
-
Self-starting and comfortable taking initiative, making progress rather than waiting for instruction.
-
Resilient and adaptable, able to shift priorities as dynamic projects evolve.
TOGETHER
-
Collaborative by nature – a genuine team player who turns their hand to anything and makes colleagues’ work easier.
-
Trustworthy, with the maturity to handle commercial and confidential information with skill and care.
-
And, as we always say – you must be a really nice person too.
We believe in recruiting exceptional people and creating the role that allows them to do incredible things. We are committed to having a genuinely diverse team drawn from across the country, with a wide range of lived and learnt experiences. You might have strengths in some, but not all, of the areas above. Whatever your skillset, we’d love to hear from you if you think you can make a real difference with Oxygen Conservation.
Transaction execution: Supporting live transactions from origination to completion – tracking workstreams, managing timelines, and flagging issues before they become problems.
Due diligence co-ordination: Contributing to due diligence processes, ensuring datarooms are maintained and documentation is complete, well-organised, and immediately accessible to investors, lawyers, and advisors.
Investor engagement: Preparing investor briefings, updating our engagement database, and helping build the relationships that underpin the capital raise.
Investor and board reporting: Assisting with the drafting of reports, board packs, and governance materials that communicate transaction progress to our investors, directors and internal teams.
Strategic project delivery: Taking ownership of actions across our wider strategic and operational projects, so the team can maintain transaction focus without compromising other priorities.
Market research: Producing research on transactions, investors, counterparties, and the wider natural capital market to inform decisions across the business.
Meeting and action management: Running meeting coordination end-to-end – agendas in advance, clear notes during, tracked actions afterwards – for both internal and external teams.
Quality assurance: Reviewing and pressure-testing key documents and outputs to ensure everything that leaves the business is accurate, clear, and commercially sound.
Governance and compliance: Keeping our internal records, registers, and compliance processes fully up to date and audit-ready and ensuring our data protection policies and processes are fully implemented and kept updated.
AI workflow development: Helping us develop the AI prompts and workflows we need for transactional delivery and scaling, so we can maximise impact across the team.

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.
