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.
ABOUT YOU
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:

TOGETHERNESS
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.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The IT Manager will work with the People and Performance team because AI mastery and technology adoption are inseparable from how people perform and grow.
At OC, we want AI to be our present, not just our future, and you will be the person building the conditions for that to happen.
You will work alongside Oxygen House, our existing IT partner, in a genuinely collaborative relationship. You are joining at a moment when OC is scaling and building something genuinely important for the natural world.

ABOUT US
We’re building the UK’s first genuine natural capital portfolio, acquiring large landscapes, restoring them, and creating investable natural capital products like premium carbon credits, biodiversity units, renewable energy partnerships, and ecotourism experiences (you can check them out at Oxygen Escapes). In just four years, we’ve grown to a valuation of around £400m with 50,000+ acres owned and helped connect over half a million acres for nature. Our mission is simple: prove that restoring ecosystems can deliver transformative environmental, social, and financial returns.
Our work hasn’t gone unnoticed. In 2022, we were named Start-Up of the Year at the Business Leader South West Awards, followed by Team of the Year at the 2023 Edie Awards and our nature funding agreement with Triodos won ESG Deal of the Year at the 2024 Insider South West Dealmakers Awards.
Our founder and CEO, Dr Rich Stockdale, is featured in the ENDS Power List as one of the top 100 UK environmental professionals driving significant impact, and was shortlisted for Edie’s Leader of the Year Award in 2024.
