This is a unique role that brings together land, assets, people and systems to ensure Nature recovery happens effectively, site after site, as we grow. Our ecology work, natural capital monitoring and project development are already led by a strong internal team. You are the escalation point for complex, high-risk or cross-site issues, while leaving day-to-day decisions with those closest to the land. You oversee the practical realities of land and estate management at scale: buildings, fencing, habitat management, water systems, rights of way, livestock and machinery. You translate nature restoration plans, monitoring protocols and site level commercial projects into delivery on the ground, ensuring alignment between design and execution. Health, safety and compliance You are responsible for building a strong safety culture and ensuring risk and compliance are embedded, without creating unnecessary burden for site teams. Building operational systems As a growing business, much of the infrastructure required to support a larger portfolio is still to be developed. You will directly lead our site managers, supporting, coaching and holding them accountable. You are motivated by building and are comfortable designing systems and processes from the ground up. You have proven experience in operations or programme management, with strong discipline across budgets, risk and delivery in a multi-site context.
