Do you love organisation, coordination, and making things run smoothly? This role is an opportunity to support a global team doing meaningful work to protect our oceans.

At the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), our Science & Standards department plays a central role in ensuring sustainable fishing practices worldwide.

As our Team Administrator, you’ll help keep this busy, international department running efficiently; supporting meetings, managing systems, and working closely with senior colleagues to deliver important programs that make a real impact.

You’ll gain exposure to a wide range of activities, from coordinating stakeholder meetings and supporting Directors, to maintaining SharePoint pages and helping teams stay connected across regions. It’s a fantastic opportunity to build your skills, grow your confidence, and contribute to MSC’s mission to protect ocean life for future generations.

You’ll also gain insight into how a global, mission-driven organisation operates, with exposure to senior stakeholders and international ways of working.

We are looking for someone who is either starting out in their career or has wanted a career change. You will thrive in this role if you have:

  • Strong organisational and administration skills: you’re comfortable managing multiple tasks, keeping things on track, and meeting deadlines
  • Great communication skills: you can communicate clearly and professionally with colleagues and stakeholders at all levels
  • Good IT skills: especially with Microsoft tools like Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel and SharePoint
  • A collaborative approach to work: you enjoy supporting others, taking responsibility for tasks, and contributing to a well-organised team.

We don’t expect you to meet every requirement on day one. Training and support will be provided to help you succeed in the role.

We have partnered with a recruiter, Hays, to help us identify ideal candidates who can contribute to this role. Please send your CV and a covering letter to Georgina.may@hays.com

We’re an international organisation and our employees all demonstrate a level of cultural awareness, and value the diverse views and approaches relevant to the MSC program.

The MSC is committed to flexible working. The successful candidate will need to work from the London, UK office for a minimum of 50% of their working time each month The remaining time can be worked from home. During the onboarding process, hybrid work may require more in-office work than remote work.
