Job description

Rivan Industries is a vertically integrated synthetic fuel company designed to decarbonise industries that can't be electrified.

Over the past 2 years, we've designed and manufactured a modular synthetic fuel plant consisting of a DAC system, an Alkaline Electrolyser, and a Sabatier Reactor, vertically integrating with off-grid DC solar and the European gas-grid. We've recently deployed the UK's largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to 1000x this scale in the next 2 years. We now have a clear line of sight to producing synthetic fuels cheaper than fossil over the next 5-10 years, becoming the first company in history to achieve this.

We're looking for a Talent Lead with the scar-tissue to build a world-class application generation and processing function, so we can scale from 10's to 100's of people and meet our exponential manufacturing and deployment targets without compromising talent density.

• Designing pipeline architecture and assessment flows for hiring velocity while maximising signal and consistency.

• Conducting direct outreach to world class individuals, to convert them into applicants.
• Building cross company workflows to integrate our recruitment function with engineering, manufacturing, deployment and finance functions, to drive elite company-wide execution.
• Building communities and events that attract top engineers, operators, investors, politicians and commercial partners.

Core skills

• Operational experience building general or recruitment functions in a venture-backed environment - ideally hardware or advanced technology.
• Have lots of interesting side projects you tinker on, have written about, or are generally curious to work on.

Specifics

• £70 - 100k salary depending on experience
• Significant share options as part of the early team
• In-person work at our HQ in Bermondsey, South-East London - flexibility considered based on personal circumstances
• Extensive relocation support, including £6000 per year extra to live close to our HQ
• Private health insurance
• Unlimited time-off
