Senior Director, Global Power Origination & Market Development

UK or Netherlands

Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Senior Director of Global Power Origination & Market Development to join our team.

Position Description

Oklo is seeking a highly strategic, commercially minded, and globally oriented leader to help shape where and how advanced nuclear power can be deployed worldwide. The Senior Director, Global Power Origination & Market Development will help lead Oklo’s exploration and evaluation of global market opportunities, strategic partnerships, infrastructure ecosystems, government initiatives, and commercial pathways for advanced nuclear deployment. This role is intentionally broad, strategic, and commercially oriented in nature.

The individual will help Oklo understand what is possible across global power markets by identifying emerging opportunities, evaluating market structures, building strategic relationships, and helping structure commercial partnerships that enable deployment. The role sits at the intersection of global energy markets, infrastructure strategy, commercial origination, government affairs, industrial development, and long‑term corporate strategy. The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, commercially sophisticated, highly analytical, and comfortable operating in ambiguity while helping define entirely new market opportunities.
