About the Role
Hubbub is an environmental charity dedicated to making sustainability second nature. We work with organisations to design and deliver behaviour change programmes, create impactful campaigns, build community partnerships, nurture sustainable cultures, and measure environmental impact.

We are seeking an operations all-rounder who takes pride in keeping things running smoothly and is excited by the opportunity to grow into a broader role. You will be the lynchpin of a busy team, ensuring people have what they need, systems function well, and the office environment is welcoming.

This role has a solid operational core but will flex depending on your experience and interests. Early career candidates will find scope to develop, while more experienced candidates can lead on culture, systems strategy, and organisational development.

A typical day might include onboarding new team members, improving finance processes, managing enquiries, liaising with trustees, or organising team socials. Approximately one day per week you will manage our Plastic Fishing project, coordinating business trips to tackle plastic pollution in the Docklands.

Key responsibilities include:
- Managing day-to-day operations and being the go-to person for operational support
- Maintaining a great office environment, including managing supplies and facilities, and overseeing an upcoming office move
- Providing people support including HR records, recruitment coordination, and training calendar planning
- Managing IT support and ensuring effective working tools
- Handling Hubbub's core email inbox to maximise impact and opportunities
- Working closely with finance to ensure timely payment of invoices and expenses
- Keeping GDPR records up to date and liaising with insurance brokers
- Supporting board meetings and trustee communications
- Managing Plastic Fishing enquiries, bookings, and trip facilitation

Opportunities for growth and leadership (depending on experience):
- Leading the implementation of new tools and ways of working
- Taking ownership of Hubbub's carbon emissions reporting
- Shaping organisational culture and development
- Supporting or leading strategic people and HR initiatives

This role will grow with the person in it, balancing operational excellence with strategic contributions.

Requirements

Experience
- Experience in a fast-paced business support or operations role
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively
- Comfortable working independently and proactively identifying needs
- Good communication skills and confidence engaging with people at all levels, including senior stakeholders
- Practical problem-solving mindset and quick adaptability to new systems and processes
- Genuine passion for the environment, sustainability, and social wellbeing

If more experienced, you may also bring:
- Proven track record of owning and improving operational processes end-to-end
- Experience supporting or leading culture, people, or HR initiatives
- Confidence influencing senior leadership and managing upwards
- Interest in organisational strategy and team dynamics

About you
- Alignment with Hubbub’s values: environmental commitment, curiosity, entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, playfulness, and inclusivity
- Intellectually and politically curious and engaged
- Proud, motivated, and tenacious problem solver
- Creative, innovative, and playful team player
- Organised, dedicated, conscientious with great attention to detail
- Flexible and responsive to change and challenge
- Committed to clear, compelling, and accessible communication

If your experience differs but you believe you can add value, we encourage you to apply.

Qualifications
- No specific qualifications required; alignment with values and relevant experience are key
