Operations Coordinator

About Cool Earth We stand no chance of fighting the climate crisis unless we halt rainforest destruction. At Cool Earth, in direct, day-to-day partnership with Indigenous and local people, we have developed the most effective, efficient, and ethical way of doing exactly that. These communities have an unrivalled track record of keeping rainforests standing and stabilising our global climate. Today, with the drivers of destruction more powerful than ever, Cool Earth works to increase community resilience against these threats. With funding from over 50,000 supporters, we back local expertise with the two most agile resources any community can use to protect their land: cash and data. Across the Amazon and Congo Basins and Papua New Guinea, Cool Earth is reinventing rainforest conservation.

The role As Operations Coordinator at Cool Earth, you will help keep the organisation running smoothly behind the scenes. You will play a key role in day-to-day operations, providing practical support across people processes, IT systems, tools, and office management. Working closely with the Head of People, you will be a go-to person for operational questions, helping colleagues access the systems, information, and support they need. This is a hands-on role with scope to grow. While the core focus is on providing practical operational and administrative support, we expect the role to evolve over time. As the Operations Coordinator builds confidence and experience, there may be opportunities to take on greater responsibility in areas that play to their strengths or where the organisation sees growing need, supported by the Head of People.

Job requirements You are organised, reliable and enjoy supporting others to get things done. You work well with colleagues across different roles, teams, and locations, and communicate clearly and helpfully. You have experience in administrative or coordination work, and are comfortable managing tasks, information and follow-up. You are confident using digital tools and are naturally curious about how systems work, picking up new tools quickly. You are able to use judgement around when to resolve issues yourself and when to escalate. You care about equity, diversity, inclusion and safeguarding, and take these responsibilities seriously in your work. You're fluent in spoken and written English, and highly competent with Google and Microsoft Office tools. You have a genuine interest in and commitment to the humanitarian and environmental principles of Cool Earth. You’re aligned with our values: “smart”, “driven”, “open”, and “locally-led”.
