£40,000 per annum 📋 Operations 🏬 London
Location: London Hybrid (3 days in the office)
Contract Duration: 6 months
native has been building for 10 years, but we're still very much a startup: fast-moving, ambitious, and building with intent. We're creating the infrastructure that connects students, Students’ Unions, universities, and advertisers through a managed marketplace.
Our goal is to deliver for students by increasing student engagement while enabling Students’ Unions to secure sustainable funding. For advertisers, we offer meaningful, measurable routes to student audiences. The more aligned these incentives are, the more defensible and scalable our business becomes.
The Opportunity
We're looking for someone who wants to learn how a whole business works, not just one corner of it.. You'll work with teams across the business, supporting the planning and delivery of internal initiatives. The heart of this role is relationships: building trust with teams across sales, operations, delivery, tech, finance and people, and getting things done through others with persistence and good humour.
Show full description
This is a great fit for someone early in their career who is curious about everything, from commercial pipelines to logistics, and wants a front-row view of how a scaling company makes decisions.
What you’ll be working on
As a Operations & Projects Associate, you’ll be responsible for...
Keep a portfolio of cross-functional projects on track: set milestones, track progress against them, and raise it early when something slips

Learn how each part of Native works and spot where things connect, or break, between teams
Prepare agendas, briefing notes and short papers that help leaders make decisions

Discretion: you'll regularly handle confidential leadership information
