    Job Description

    About the role

    Joining Furbnow as an Operations Associate is an incredible opportunity to put your skills into practice to have a real impact on delivering the Net Zero agenda by helping people decarbonise their homes.

    As Operations Executive, you will be responsible for day-to-day customer and supplier comms. This is an entry-level role in the Operations team but there are opportunities to get exposure in the Growth and Product teams to help you develop your skills in the early stage of your career. You'll work directly with the co-founder and CEO, Becky Lane. Her mission with Furbnow is to make home retrofit more accessible to households but also to people who want to work in this sector. She'll support you in the day-to-day but also work with you to identify your career ambition and create opportunities for your development.

    You will also receive Retrofit Advisor training to help you develop your knowledge for your day-to-day activities.

    What your new job will be:

  • Help the Growth team with customer and supplier research to shape the marketing strategy and support with data analysis to help us decide on our path
  • Support the CEO on market research to develop and execute our partnership strategy
  • Qualifications

    We are looking for a passionate operations professional based in London, Birmingham or remotely.

  • Highly organised. It goes without saying but you will be able to manage complex projects at pace.
  • Great communicator. You'll interface with our team, our customers and our suppliers. You'll need to concisely take in and share information rapidly.
  • Passion Our goal is nothing less than to transform people's homes and accelerate home decarbonisation. Passion for moving beyond intention and climate goals into real action is a must
  • Light-speed learner. Every day the company is growing and evolving, and so will your role over time.
  • Be okay with making mistakes. We are all learning and mistakes are the byproduct of doing something new. Making them is part of the journey, but dwelling on them is not
  • Creative pragmatism. Ideas are great, but only if they can be executed
  • This is a rare opportunity to join an exciting new venture in a booming field with the potential for a significant impact on the UK's climate targets.
