Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for a motivated and curious People & Operations Graduate to join our team
- It’s perfect for someone who loves problem-solving and wants to see how great culture and smart operations work together behind the scenes to build a thriving business
- A recent graduate (or early career starter) who’s eager to learn
- Highly organised, adaptable, and comfortable juggling multiple tasks
- A strong communicator with a proactive, self-starter attitude
- Excited by the chance to gain exposure to different parts of the business
- Someone who thrives in a collaborative, fast-moving environment
- Previous involvement in work, volunteering, or extracurricular activities that demonstrate drive, and initiative is a big plus
What the job involves
- Contract: 12-month fixed-term (potential for permanent opportunities)
- This is a unique opportunity to gain broad, hands-on experience across key functions in a fast-paced start-up that cares about its people and the planet
- Splitting your time primarily between the People and Business Operations functions, you’ll have real ownership early on helping our business run smoothly, in a supportive environment where ideas are welcomed and initiative is celebrated
- One week you might be helping onboard new team members and support a company event, the next you could be analysing data to improve internal processes or helping roll out a company-wide initiative
- This role is designed to give you exposure to senior leaders and build a strong foundation in both People and Operations
- You’ll get plenty of support, stretch, and variety, and shape how things are done as we continue to scale
- No two days will be the same. You’ll be dipping into different projects and priorities, building a strong understanding of how a company operates end-to-end. Here are some of the things you might get involved with:
- Supporting recruitment activity - from job postings and interview scheduling to candidate communications
- Helping to improve and document company processes and workflows
- Helping onboard new team members and ensure a smooth first-week experience
- Supporting data collection and analysis for key business metrics and reports
- Assisting with HR admin, employee records, and benefits coordination
- Helping to plan company events, engagement initiatives, and internal communications
- Supporting learning and development projects and helping keep our HR systems up to date
- Assisting with office management, procurement, and supplier coordination
- Helping to organise company meetings, all-hands, and supporting our Exec team
- Taking ownership of small operational improvement projects from start to finish
Application process

- Successful applicants will submit a short 2-3minute video link providing a brief introduction of themselves and answers to some questions
- 30 minute video screening - with Talent Manager

Our take
People are becoming increasingly aware of the damage that humans have caused to our planet, and many companies are trying to help by planting forests, switching to sustainable products, and reducing their carbon footprint. However, taking such initiatives usually requires sizeable donations to charities, something that smaller businesses are rarely able to afford.
Ecologi provides monthly subscriptions to individuals and businesses that allow them to take charitable action and become climate positive for as low as £4.70 per month. Subscriptions help fund forests, sustainable energy projects, and other charity work, and in exchange customers receive sustainable thankyou gifts, workforces take climate action, and businesses can encourage purpose in the workplace.
Whilst there are countless charities that individuals and companies can work with to make positive changes to the planet, Ecologi has approached their B Corporation smartly by focusing on simplifying the organization of charity work and minimizing the money that individuals must spend. Recent projects that Ecologi has supported include the protection of the Amazonian rainforest, reforestation in Madagascar, and agricultural volunteering in Vietnam.
