IT Manager

Oxygen Conservation is entering one of the most important chapters of its growth. Expanding our IT support and accelerating our adoption of AI across the whole organisation are crucial to our next steps. We want an IT Manager who can move at pace, anticipate our needs before they arise, and help the whole team get substantially more from AI tools. This requires someone with genuine curiosity, strong interpersonal skills, and the kind of drive that makes things happen without being prompted.

As passionate as you likely are about IT, to be truly fulfilled you might be looking for more. You may be seeking a role that’s challenging and rewarding in equal measure, amazing colleagues, a culture of care for people, and a mission you believe in. That is what you will find with Oxygen Conservation.

We are working hard to fight the climate crisis and reverse the biodiversity collapse. The team is small by design, fast-moving by necessity, and deeply committed to everyone who works with us. We care about the people in this team, and we want to give you the opportunity to make a real difference, not just to our IT infrastructure but to how the whole organisation does its best work every single day.

Are you purpose-driven, collaborative, and hard working? The kind of person who brings high standards and genuine care to every interaction, whether you are fixing a connectivity issue or presenting to external partners? If so, excellent. This is not a background support role; you will be the lead for IT at Oxygen Conservation.

Here is a snapshot of the strengths you’ll bring:

• A genuine passion for the natural world and a conviction that scaling conservation is one of the most important challenges of our time.

• The knowledge to do excellent technical work across infrastructure, hardware, software, and security, balanced with the humility to do tasks you learned on your first week on the job.
• A genuine curiosity about AI tools, with practical examples of how you have used them and coached others to benefit from them.
• The kind of initiative and ownership that means problems get solved at pace rather than passed on.

• Comfortable with variety and energised by the unexpected.
• A bias for speed and clarity over caution but know when to tell us to slow down.

• The ability to communicate complex technical ideas simply to a wide range of stakeholders and build trust quickly.
• The defining characteristic of the right person is a genuine desire to help others, with a passion for delivering high-quality IT support in a high-performance environment.

At Oxygen Conservation, character matters more than capability. We recruit for potential, not experience. Of course, the IT foundations matter but the service mindset matters more. And the genuine curiosity about AI and the future of work matters most of all.

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 skills in some, but not all, of the areas above. Whatever your background, we would love to hear from you if you think you can make a real difference with Oxygen Conservation.

The IT Manager will work with Tom George, our awesome Head of Technology. You are joining at a moment when OC is scaling and building something genuinely important for the natural world. We want technology and AI to be our present, not just our future, and you will be instrumental in building the conditions for that to happen.

• Serve as OC’s primary internal IT contact, providing fast, high-quality, and proactive support to the whole team.
• Ensure hardware, software, and connectivity across the team are…
