About the Company
General Matter is enriching uranium in America.
Our goal is to design, build, and operate the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services in the United States.
Our mission is to restore America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel—fuel that will power AI, advanced manufacturing, critical industries, and the next generation of nuclear reactors.
Ultimately, our work will help power national ambitions and enable a high-energy society.
We were incubated by Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by top-tier investors. Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.
We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.
Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.

You'll be trusted to take a workstream and own the outcome: thoroughly, on time, and with extreme accountability. You will play a critical role in keeping the company's operations running cleanly and moving rapidly as General Matter works to build a domestic supply of enriched uranium and secure America's energy future.

- Automate rote, high-volume tasks using AI and exceptional process management skills.
- Coordinate construction buildout logistics.
- Own documentation and data hygiene across operational tools.
- Maintain trackers and status updates for assigned workstreams.
- Partner with Operations, Engineering, Security, and Supply Chain to ensure timely execution.
Basic Qualifications
- 5-7years of experience; Backgrounds in banking, operations, GTM, sales, or startups are a plus.
- A demonstrable track record of reliability — you finish what you start.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail across multiple concurrent workstreams.
- Strong command of spreadsheets, trackers, and ticketing/PO systems.
- Proactive, reliable communicator on status.
- Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience).
Preferred Skills and Experience
- Experience in banking, finance, or another high-rigor, execution-heavy environment.
- Procurement or vendor-management experience.
