We have an exciting opportunity to support our small, friendly team of environmental experts. As Business Support Manager you will play an integral role within the Aether team. You will act as a central coordination point for all operational support, whether that’s championing team well-being (by promoting a safe, healthy and supportive workplace), collaborating closely with our management team, leading our dedicated operations team or effectively managing our office environment. 

This is a varied role where you will have the opportunity to progress your career in a team that works together on projects that have impact, to help us meet our goal of a healthy planet for future generations.

We are looking for someone with a proactive mindset, someone who has the ability to identify priorities, as well as having a creative and solution-based approach to problem solving. You will naturally be a great organiser, with excellent communication skills, someone who is able to influence, inspire, and work collaboratively with your colleagues. You will have experience within an office management or business support role, and instinctively know how to support others, and be motivated by providing that support to the team. If this sounds like you then we would love to hear from you.

Based in the heart of Oxford, we are a passionate team, with a shared value of supporting a healthy planet. We are a team of experts, with a very human approach – we share our knowledge and have created an exciting and flexible environment to work in. Our team works across the UK and overseas and regularly gets together for work or social events. 

We live our environmental values – we regularly undertake environmental community projects as a team, and our generous pension scheme (8% employer contribution) invests in projects and infrastructure that supports decarbonisation.

Feeling included and valued, developing skills, and a focus on well-being; these are all important to us here at Aether. We value our diverse teams and provide professional development and inclusive support in various ways. We would love to discuss these benefits with you in more detail.
