We are looking for process-driven, agile-minded individuals to join us on our mission to create a zero carbon, zero bill, zero friction future for our customers. Our internal venture studio is where we turn groundbreaking ideas into reality. We're not just building ventures; we're shaping a sustainable energy future. We're seeking a Venture Administrator who thrives on bringing structure to the beautiful chaos of early-stage venture building. Ensuring that each of our new ventures hits its milestones, stays on budget, and delivers our promises.
Here’s a taste of what you’ll be doing
Support Venture Operations: Act as the administrative right-hand to the EIR, handling day-to-day PMO tasks so the core team can focus entirely on building and validating.
Maintain Project Documentation: Keep our project management tools (like Jira, Asana, or Confluence) tidy and up to date, ensuring tasks, risks, and milestones are accurately logged and tracked.
Track Budgets & Expenses: Assist in monitoring the venture's financial runway, managing purchase orders, processing invoices, and keeping our spending records immaculate.
Coordinate Schedules & Meetings: Manage complex calendars, schedule customer research interviews, and organise team workshops or sprint planning sessions.
Onboard Vendors & Partners: Help navigate corporate procurement and legal processes to quickly set up the tools, software, and external contractors needed for our experiments.
Prepare Pitch Materials: Assist the EIR in gathering data, formatting reports, and organising documentation ahead of crucial investment committee pitches.
Are we the perfect match?
Startup Enthusiasm: You have some experience in project administration, PMO or Project Management
Innate Organisational Skills: You have an innate ability to keep things structured; creating order out of chaos is second nature to you, and you never let important details slip through the cracks.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills: You can spot an administrative bottleneck from a mile away and know exactly how to navigate the corporate landscape to fix it.
Experience with lean startup methodologies: You understand that plans change quickly in a startup, and you can adapt your tracking and admin processes without missing a beat.
A self-starter: You have a bias for action and a relentless focus on keeping the team moving forward by removing administrative friction.
It would be great if you had
Experience in the energy sector or navigating the administrative, finance, and procurement processes of a large corporate environment.
Supported an EIR, founder, or project team in an incubator, accelerator, or early-stage startup.
Proficiency in PMO and collaboration tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Monday.com, or SAP).
We encourage you to apply if you have a passion for building disruptive solutions and shaping the future of innovation!
