## Description (the employer's text)

About the Company

General Matter enriches uranium.

We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.

In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.

Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.

Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.

We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.

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.

### About this role

General Matter is seeking a Regulatory Affairs and Licensing to build and lead the regulatory affairs organization responsible for licensing America’s next generation of uranium enrichment infrastructure. This executive will define and execute our regulatory strategy, establish and coordinate regulatory policy and governance across several sites, lead engagement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Agreement State regulatory agencies, and guide licensing and regulatory readiness from facility development through commercial operations.

This is a builder role for a deeply experienced, mission-driven nuclear regulatory leader.

- Develop partnerships with industry counterparts through participation in Nuclear Energy Institute working groups and activities.
- Build, lead, and scale a high-performing regulatory affairs organization spanning licensing, regulatory compliance, technical submissions, and regulator engagement.
- Own end-to-end NRC licensing execution, including application strategy, regulatory submissions, requests for additional information, reviews, inspections, and license amendments.
- Develop a clear, technically defensible regulatory approach for uranium enrichment facilities, integrating nuclear safety, material control and accounting, safeguards, security, and environmental considerations.
- Establish disciplined regulatory processes, decision records, schedules, and quality standards that support timely, high quality, and complete submissions.
- Lead preparation for NRC audits, inspections, technical meetings, and regulatory milestones, ensuring organizational readiness and effective follow-through.
- Interpret and apply relevant NRC policies and requirements, including 10 CFR Part 70 and related fuel-cycle licensing, safety, and safeguards regulations.
- Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Facilities, Operations, Legal, and Security to embed regulatory requirements into design and operational decisions.
