Job description

Our mission

At Electrogenos, we’re building technology to make green hydrogen competitive at scale. We focus on reducing the cost and complexity of hydrogen production so it can replace fossil-based alternatives across real-world applications. We’re an early‑stage team working at the intersection of electrochemistry, manufacturing, and deployment.

About The Role

We're looking for anOffice and Operations Managerto keep Milton Park running and to be the person the founders and the technical team rely on day‑to‑day. You'll look after the office, lab, and workshop environment, handle the administration that keeps a small company organised, coordinate with suppliers, and support the CTO with diaries, travel, and meetings. You'll be sitting alongside scientists and engineers, so you'll see how a deep‑tech company actually works from the inside — and you'll have direct contact with the founders from day one. We don't expect you to arrive knowing everything. What we need is someone who is well organised, communicates clearly, follows things through, and doesn't need to be chased. You'll be part of the wider global operations team, so you'll also work with colleagues outside the UK on day‑to‑day administrative and coordination tasks.

Procurement and suppliers

• Raise purchase orders, track deliveries, and chase anything outstanding
• Get quotes and help find new suppliers when the team needs something unfamiliar

Administration and documents
