Office Manager

Fauna & Flora is seeking an experienced, enthusiastic and adaptable individual for the role
of Office Manager. As a member of the Operations Team, you will ensure the smooth running of
Fauna & Flora’s Cambridge headquarters (accommodating circa 200 employees), including
responsibility for facilities management, UK Health & Safety and delivery of our Reception
function. You will also drive our head office’s environmental and sustainability practices and
support Fauna & Flora and its staff across the globe in initiatives to reduce the
environmental footprint generated by our work.

Fauna & Flora is based in the David Attenborough Building (DAB) on the New Museums Site,
where the University of Cambridge and nine conservation organisations have collaborated to
create the Cambridge Conservation Initiative (CCI) – the largest grouping of nature
conservation organisations and university researchers in the world. You will therefore not only
deal with a wide range of individuals from Fauna & Flora, including our members and
supporters, our trustees and your colleagues in the UK and across the globe, but also your
counterparts in the other NGOs and the central facilities staff at the DAB, as well as
contractors, suppliers and our University landlords.

As the first point of contact for Fauna & Flora, you will be friendly and approachable,
confident and articulate. You will have excellent organisational and administrative
capabilities, a proactive and pre-emptive approach to your work and well-developed
prioritisation and time-management skills. Whilst working with minimal supervision, you will
look to avoid problems before they arise, developing and improving office systems when needed
and working to ensure that Fauna & Flora’s head office provides a welcoming and efficient
working environment for employees and visitors alike.

You will have good relevant experience in an office/facilities management role, or experience
where you can demonstrate relevant and transferable skills. Excellent Outlook skills, and
strong Word and Excel abilities are essential and previous use of Microsoft SharePoint also
desirable. Knowledge and experience of health and safety in a UK office environment, including
willingness to undertake First Aid and Fire Warden duties, is a requirement of the role (with
training provided if these qualifications are not currently held). Knowledge of, and an
enthusiasm for, environmental and sustainability issues in an office setting would also be
particularly advantageous.

In return, the role offers the opportunity to work within an international, impactful and
ground-breaking organisation, at the forefront of global conservation. In addition, Fauna &
Flora offers a generous pension contribution, attractive annual leave allowance and life
insurance.

Our offices are located in central Cambridge, just a few minutes’ walk from glorious historic
buildings and museums, the picturesque River Cam, the central market and shopping centre, and a
host of cafés and restaurants.

Please note that whilst Fauna & Flora has adopted hybrid working practices involving
partial remote working within the UK where appropriate, it is envisaged that due to the nature
of this role, it will be based full-time in the Cambridge office.

Please visit our website and download the job application pack for further details on how to
apply.

The closing date for applications is Sunday, 15 June 2025. Interviews are
likely to be held during the week commencing 16 and 23 June 2025
