Deep Fission is an advanced nuclear energy company developing a novel deployment architecture called Gravity™ that integrates established technologies — pressurized water reactors, geothermal energy-transfer components, and deep borehole drilling — to place reactor systems a mile underground. The design uses hydrostatic pressure from a deep water column to support operating pressure and cooling, applies geothermal-style surface energy transfer to turbines, and aims for rapid, low-footprint deployments (a stated 6-month target for a single reactor deployment and a 2027–2028 commercial operation goal). The company reports an 18. 5 GW commercial pipeline via letters of intent with power-site partners, has moved prototype hardware (reactor canister) to a Kansas site, and is engaging with regulators and investors through public filings and offerings.

📋 Description

• Own board meeting preparation and follow-through end to end: agendas, materials, pre-reads, and tracking commitments back to close. • Serve as the primary point of contact to board members on non-urgent matters. • Build and run the leadership team's operating rhythm: standing meetings, decision forums, and the communication cadence that keeps the company's functions integrated. • Design and stand up structure where one does not yet fully exist, proactively and without waiting to be asked. • Own the system that tracks commitments across the leadership team, so nothing agreed by the CEO falls through without someone driving it to resolution. • Hold decisions steady even when they are reopened in a live conversation, and do so respectfully. • In partnership with the relevant leadership team member, ensure the CEO walks into every significant meeting, investor conversation, and speaking engagement fully briefed and ready. • Own strategic initiatives as designated by the CEO. • Represent the CEO with board members, investors, and senior partners where appropriate.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree required. • At least 10 years of senior management experience, including time on a leadership team in a Chief of Staff role. • Demonstrated experience in strategic planning, organizational design, and cross-functional program management. • Demonstrated experience managing real cross-functional complexity: competing priorities, organizational politics, and holding people accountable without formal authority over them. • Has built organizational systems from the ground up, including operating rhythms, decision frameworks, and accountability structures, in a place where none existed before. • Executive presence and credibility to represent the CEO with board members, investors, and senior partners. • Comfortable operating in an environment where infrastructure is still being built, rather than needing a lot of structure already in place. • Public company experience and background in technology, energy, advanced manufacturing, or another regulated industry. • A genuine passion for Deep Fission's mission of building faster, safer, and more affordable nuclear power, and a highly self-motivated approach to work that does not require day-to-day direction.

🏖️ Benefits

• Deep Fission is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. • We welcome applicants from all backgrounds who share our passion for advancing clean nuclear energy and creating a sustainable future.
