Standard Nuclear is fueling America’s nuclear renaissance at industrial scale. Our mission is to deliver the essential building blocks of nuclear power—enabling cost-effective, safe, and secure energy for the world.
We are seeking a highly capable professional to fill a hybrid role that combines senior executive support with corporate governance, contract administration, and paralegal-type responsibilities. This person will work at the intersection of the executive office, the legal / corporate-secretary function, and the board of directors. The role suits someone who is equal parts a polished, proactive executive assistant and a detail-driven legal and governance administrator. Because this position routinely handles confidential corporate, financial, and board-level information in a highly regulated industry, discretion, sound judgment, and integrity are the most important qualities we are hiring for.
The Legal and Compliance Administrator will work mainly with the Chief Legal and Compliance Officer and Corporate Secretary, and the Chief Financial Officer, but also with other members of the executive leadership team.
