CEO Directorate Intern

Working closely with our CEO, Rich Stockdale, you’ll help shape the ideas and stories behind a business determined to change how the world values nature. Expect big questions, unfamiliar territory and the occasional idea that sounds a little impossible. From finding the words that make people think differently to helping shape the stories in our next book, you’ll have plenty to get your teeth into.

You’ll work with our incredible marketing team and support Rich Stockdale closely on campaigns, from podcast support to article edits. Alongside that, you’ll research ideas, prepare briefings and take responsibility for parts of the executive team’s priority projects. You’ll see how decisions are made and help put them into practice.

We’re looking for someone ambitious enough to want this responsibility and willing to work hard at it. You don’t need previous marketing or executive support experience. Show us what you’ve committed yourself to, how you’ve improved and what you’ve achieved.

A love for the natural world and rural environment, and a commitment to its ecological restoration.

Curious about brands and storytelling. You notice what makes people pay attention and want to help more people understand our work.

High standards, with the discipline to match. You check the detail, seek feedback and take responsibility for finishing work properly.

Determined to become exceptional at what you do. You can show us that drive through sport, music, dance, work, study or something you’ve built yourself.

A clear communicator who enjoys finding the right words and can turn an unfamiliar subject into something others understand.

Excited by variety, from developing a campaign to helping deliver an event or getting to grips with a new project.

Already experimenting with AI and technology, and curious about where they can improve creative work and how a business operates.

Quick to adapt when priorities change. You ask what matters most, organise your work and keep people informed.

Confident to ask questions and offer a different view, including when you’re working with Rich and our senior leaders. Just as willing to listen and change your mind.

Generous with your ideas and your time. You care about helping the people around you do their best work.

And let’s be honest, you have to be really kind too. Sharing snacks on long journeys or a packed lunch in the driving rain is mandatory!

You don’t need to tick every box above, and you don’t need to look or sound a certain way to belong here. We want a team with a wide range of lived and learnt experiences. Whatever your background, stage of your career, knowledge and experience, we’d love to hear what you could contribute.

What We’d Love You To Do Help plan and deliver campaigns with our marketing team. Research, write and produce content for our channels, including the Second Nature podcast and Perpetuity articles. Take responsibility for defined pieces of the executive team’s priority projects. Research the question, make a recommendation and help deliver the agreed next steps. Collaborating across all parts of the Oxygen ecosystem so our campaigns reflect the priorities and successes across our estates and teams. Implement approaches that will improve research, content production or everyday work. Check the quality of the results and help colleagues adopt what proves useful. Pick up any new opportunities as they arise, agree what needs doing and see the work through. Bring the same care to the practical details as the bigger ideas.

1 Apply This is the first step to becoming part of the team. Simply click the ‘Apply Now’ button to complete our application form, and show us how awesome you are! CV’s are needed, but on their own we don’t feel they tell us enough about who you really are. So, we have listed just a couple of questions to allow us to learn more about you.

2 Opportunity to Shine If your application is successful a member (or two) of the team will have an introductory call with you, to answer any initial questions you may have. After which, if successful, we will set an exciting role specific challenge for you to complete in advance of your interview. An opportunity for us to see you shine.

3 Interview We hate for this part to be too corporate and regimented. Instead, we will have a relaxed conversation to get to know one another, an opportunity to ask questions and learn more. We recognise that this process is two way and that you will be interviewing us perhaps even more than we will be interviewing you – we promise that it won’t be a dull process.
