$265K – $325KExecutiveFull Time
Company Overview
Kairos Power is a new nuclear energy technology and engineering company whose mission is to enable the world’s transition to clean energy, with the ultimate goal to dramatically improve people’s quality of life while protecting the environment. This goal will be accomplished through the commercialization of the fluoride-salt-cooled, high-temperature reactor (FHR) that can be deployed with robust safety, affordable costs, and flexible operation to accommodate the expansion of variable renewables.
Job Summary
We have grown from a founding team into an organization of almost 600 employees, and we are on a path of more growth over the next several years. The complexity of that journey — across multiple sites, safety-critical operations, and a deeply technical workforce — demands a People function that enables employees to do their best work and our organization to achieve its mission.
This role is for someone who wants to build: the systems, the bench, the culture, and the capabilities that will carry Kairos through its next substantial growth phase. The VP of People will be a genuine executive partner — at the table when strategy is set, trusted when things are hard, and deeply invested in our mission for the long term.
If you are energized by building in a high-stakes, technically rigorous environment where the mission is bigger than ourselves, we want to talk.
