The Nuclear Company is a Series A AI-enabled startup pioneering fleet-scale nuclear reactor development. The Director of Nuclear Workforce Pipeline Development will build and lead a new function focused on securing the external talent pipeline critical to the nuclear industry's current and future operations.

External Partnership Development: Establish durable relationships with colleges, universities, technical/trade schools, and K-12 school districts. Create sustainable pathways into nuclear careers and develop multi-year recruitment and talent development strategies.
Pipeline Program Design & Execution: Design and launch programs that address identified gaps (e.g., apprenticeships, internships, curriculum partnerships, career awareness initiatives). Measure program effectiveness and iterate based on outcomes.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Work with internal teams to translate workforce needs into pipeline requirements, ensure alignment on hiring timelines and skill requirements, and communicate progress to leadership.
The company operates with an AI-first mindset, expecting all employees to leverage AI, technology, and their Nuclear Operating System (NOS) to improve quality, speed, and impact.
