Talent Lead

About us

Rivan Industries (Rivan.com) is a vertically integrated synthetic fuel company designed to decarbonise industries that can’t be electrified.

Over the past 2 years, we’ve designed and manufactured a modular synthetic fuel plant consisting of a DAC system, an Alkaline Electrolyser, and a Sabatier Reactor, vertically integrating with off-grid DC solar and the European gas-grid. We’ve recently deployed the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to 1000x this scale in the next 2 years. We now have a clear line of sight to producing synthetic fuels cheaper than fossil over the next 5-10 years, becoming the first company in history to achieve this.

We’re looking for a Talent Lead with the scar-tissue to build a world-class application generation and processing function, so we can scale from 10’s to 100’s of people and meet our exponential manufacturing and deployment targets without compromising talent density.

• Building communities and events that attract top engineers, operators, investors, politicians and commercial partners.

Core skills:

• Operational experience building general or recruitment functions in a venture-backed environment - ideally hardware or advanced technology.

Bonus skills:

• Have lots of interesting side projects you tinker on, have written about, or are generally curious to work on.

Specifics:

• £70 - 100k salary depending on experience
