Risk & Compliance Lead

The posting, as Radiant Industries wrote it

ABOUT RADIANT

Radiant is an El Segundo, CA-based company building the world's only mass-produced, transportable nuclear microreactors. The U.S. grid is under growing strain, with power demand accelerating, driving higher utility costs, rising carbon emissions, and interconnection backlogs. Radiant has a solution, transportable, on-site power. Our first reactor, Kaleidos, is 1 megawatt: small enough to be factory-built, transported by land, sea, or air, and deployed wherever power is needed. 1 MW can power 1000 homes for five years. Ship it back and we refuel for a 20 year operating life. We made energy a product that can be used for critical infrastructure like military bases, data centers, hospitals, and remote sites, as well as the commercial main street businesses that keep America running. Founded in 2020, Radiant is under contract to deliver power to the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force and has signed pre-order agreements with Equinix, with deployments beginning in 2028.

About the Role
Radiant is scaling fast - expanding factory operations, standing up multi-entity structures, and taking on both government and commercial deployments. This role will manage our liability exposure in a centralized manner - owning programs across all teams and building out our risk infrastructure.

As Risk & Compliance Lead, you will build and own Radiant's risk management function from the ground up - mapping exposure across the entire business, optimizing our insurance and other risk-coverage programs (including layered nuclear-related coverage requirements), and identifying / prioritizing / closing gaps before they become findings. You will mature our programs into a proactive, structured risk governance, and you'll be the connective tissue between insurance brokers, legal, operations, IT, security, finance, and regulatory teams.

This is a high-visibility, largely individual-contributor-to-start role reporting directly to the VP of Finance with the mandate to scale into a broader risk function as our footprint grows.
