Office and Operations Manager in Abingdon

Our mission at Electrogenos is to build technology that makes green hydrogen competitive at scale. We focus on reducing the cost and complexity of hydrogen production so it can replace fossil-based alternatives across real-world applications. We are an early-stage team working at the intersection of electrochemistry, manufacturing, and deployment.

About The Role: We are looking for an Office and Operations Manager to keep Milton Park running and to be the person the founders and the technical team rely on day-to-day. You will look after the office, lab, and workshop environment, handle the administration that keeps a small company organised, coordinate with suppliers, and support the CTO with diaries, travel, and meetings. You will be sitting alongside scientists and engineers, gaining insight into how a deep-tech company operates from the inside, and you will have direct contact with the founders from day one. We do not expect you to arrive knowing everything. What we need is someone who is well organised, communicates clearly, follows through, and does not need to be chased. You will be part of the wider global operations team, working with colleagues outside the UK on day-to-day administrative and coordination tasks.

Tasks:

• Keep the Milton Park site running — supplies, deliveries, visitors, contractors, keeping shared spaces in order.
• Be the first point of contact for building matters and site logistics.
• Help maintain health and safety records with input from the technical team.
• Support the CTO with diary management, meeting scheduling, and travel bookings.
• Organise meetings: circulate agendas, take notes, and follow up on actions until they are closed.
• Help new joiners settle in — equipment, accounts, induction paperwork.
• Handle basic HR administration such as holiday records and personnel files.
• Raise purchase orders, track deliveries, and chase anything outstanding.
• Get quotes and help find new suppliers when the team needs something unfamiliar.
• Keep an eye on lab and workshop stock alongside the technical team so nothing runs out.
• Keep company files, trackers, and shared drives tidy and up to date.
• Help collect inputs and paperwork for grant reports and financial claims.
• Prepare and format documents for partners, investors, and events.
• Suggest and help tidy up the small day-to-day processes that make the office work better.

Essential Skills:

• The right to work in the UK without sponsorship.
• Experience in an office, administrative, or coordination role.
• Well organised and reliable — able to manage several tasks simultaneously without dropping any.
• Follow-through — when asked to chase something, it gets done.
