Director of External Affairs

About DISA Uranium

DISA Uranium™ Corporation (DISA Uranium) is redefining American uranium recovery and production. Headquartered in Casper, Wyoming, the Company recovers uranium and vanadium from abandoned uranium mine (AUM) waste, remediates legacy sites left across the western United States, and applies its patented high-pressure slurry ablation technology (HPSA™) to make conventional uranium production cleaner, more efficient, and more economic.

We hold the only U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license to treat and recover AUM waste across multiple sites — and with a growing conventional resource base behind it, the Company is building the domestic capacity to turn American waste and American ore into American fuel.

Our mission is simple: restore the past while powering the future, and rebuild a secure domestic uranium supply chain.

The Director of External Affairs is the second-in-command of DISA Uranium’s external affairs function and serves as the Chief External Affairs Officer’s (CEAO) principal deputy. The role spans the full portfolio: federal and state government affairs, Tribal affairs, community engagement, public relations and media, grants and federal funding, and marketing, branding, and communications.

This is a senior, hands‑on role for an operator — someone who has spent a decade or more in government affairs and public affairs, who can walk into a fast-moving company mid-stride, take ownership of complex work streams, and drive them to completion without being managed. The successful candidate will be relentlessly organized, unusually detail‑oriented, an excellent writer, and comfortable representing the company to a Member of Congress in the morning and a county commission or chapter house meeting in the afternoon.

DISA operates in a visible, sometimes contested public environment. Uranium carries real history in the communities where the company works. The person in this role must be able to hold that reality with credibility and care, and to advance the company’s objectives without ever getting ahead of its commitments.
