Manager, IT; M&P

USA Rare Earth and the Serra Verde Group are building the world's leading rare earth enterprise - a pioneering global company that excels at every stage of the value chain, from the earth to the magnet and beyond. We operate upstream mining and processing operations in Brazil and the USA, midstream metal-making operations in the UK and France, and downstream magnet-making facilities in the USA.

Our vision is to be "The Critical Elements of Progress. Delivered Responsibly. At Global Scale." We are committed to delivering a secure, sustainable supply of rare earths and critical materials that power the modern world, with an uncompromising commitment to responsible practice. The organization operates a devolved model designed for rapid, scalable growth and the development of entrepreneurial leaders.

Our organizational model is based on the principle of clear accountability and the creation of entrepreneurial enclaves which define business units reflecting the natural components of our supply chain. Each Business Unit retains a profit motive and the responsibly to deliver shareholder returns. However, this cannot occur at the expense of overall Group value.

At USA Rare Earth, we are pioneers and problem solvers, technologists and team players. Together, we:

Build Solutions :
If our task was a simple one, it would already be done. We are creative and solution-oriented, and we think outside the box to solve important problems. We know that a range of expertise and technologies is needed for success, and we work across sectors and alongside customers to deliver world-class solutions in sustainable ways.

Deliver Quality :
When we do things, we do them well. We believe that top-tier quality leads to industry competitiveness and we hold ourselves to the highest quality standards. We move fast when executing, but safety, quality, and excellence always come first.

Lead responsibly :
We have a responsibility to the planet, our consumers, our country, and each other. We put safety at the center of all we do, take accountability for our actions, incorporate sustainable practices in our processes and act with the financial best interest of our investors and consumers in mind.

Win Together :
Establishing a rare earth magnet supply chain is a big undertaking - and getting there is a team effort. We communicate openly, work together and challenge each other in pursuit of our goals. With every step we take we learn and get better.

This role is the primary IT presence at our Wheat Ridge facility, serving as the go-to technology lead across a mixed environment of corporate IT, laboratory systems, and operational technology as the site scales. The right person is a hands-on, technically strong generalist and self-starter who sets their own priorities and works without close supervision, reporting to the Head of IT Upstream and locally to the SVP of Mining.

Success here depends as much on relationships as on technology - you'll need to be visible on site, trusted across every team, and confident holding third parties accountable for service and value.
