• Must bring at least 5 years of experience in nuclear technology, advanced energy systems, or regulatory-facing roles within the energy sector.
• Must have experience navigating licensing frameworks and regulatory bodies with confidence, ideally including prior experience with modular or non-traditional nuclear systems.
• Expected to demonstrate strong leadership capabilities, with a track record of working across technical and strategic domains.
• Requires the ability to synthesize complex scientific information and communicate it clearly to mixed technical and non-technical audiences.
• Entrepreneurial in mindset, self-directed, adaptable, and motivated by the opportunity to scale a high-impact energy solution.
• Willingness to travel occasionally for regulatory meetings, site visits, and executive presentations is expected.
