Principal of Commercial

COMPANY OVERVIEW Blue Energy is transforming how nuclear power gets built. Instead of constructing each plant on-site from scratch - a process that takes 10-15 years and is too expensive and unpredictable to finance - we build our plants like ships: in a factory, on an assembly line, then transport and assemble them at the site. This cuts costs by over 60% and brings plants online in just three years. We also pair natural gas with nuclear at our sites, so customers can start receiving power from gas turbines right away and then switch over to clean nuclear power once it comes online - getting energy to the grid faster while nuclear is being built. Our mission is to make nuclear energy abundant, affordable, and repeatable at global scale. We use proven, already-approved reactor designs and work with existing nuclear and industrial sites, giving us a faster path to regulatory approval. By manufacturing this way, we put nuclear power on the same cost-reduction curve that has made wind, solar, and batteries cheaper every year. ROLE SUMMARY We are seeking a Principal of Commercial to join our growing commercial organization as a senior individual contributor focused on hyperscaler and large-load offtake strategy.

The ideal candidate brings 5-8 years of experience in strategic/commercial roles within the energy sector or strategy consulting. This person is not an analyst - they are a commercially minded thinker who understands energy markets, can work directly with hyperscalers and large-load customers, and can support complex commercial deal structures. This role offers significant exposure to senior management, customers, and cross-functional teams, and is central to shaping how Blue Energy brings clean baseload power to market.
