Rivan Industries 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 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 feat.
We’re looking for an Operations Lead – technically minded and elite at execution – with the scar‑tissue to own the foundations our company runs on, so we can meet our exponential manufacturing and deployment targets without anything critical breaking underneath us.
If you urge to make a difference in the real‑world, surrounded by people you admire doing great work with intensity, this is for you.
The role
- Design, build, operate and own company‑critical workflows. These include:
- Day‑to‑day running of our new 50,000 sq ft manufacturing facility.
Designing pipeline architecture and assessment flows for hiring velocity while maximising signal and consistency.
- Owning our legal function, from commercial contracts and supplier agreements to compliance, and managing internal and external counsel.
- Building cross company workflows to integrate operations with engineering, manufacturing, deployment and finance functions, to drive elite company‑wide execution.
- Architecting and implementing automations and optimisations that remove operational drag across the company.
Core skills
- Experience building operations functions in a venture‑backed environment.
- Have lots of interesting side projects you tinker on, have written about, or are generally curious to work on.
Specifics
- £70 – 90k salary depending on experience
- Significant share options as part of the early team
- In‑person work at our HQ in Bermondsey, South‑East London – flexibility considered based on personal circumstances
- Extensive relocation support, including £6000 per year extra to live close to our HQ
- Health insurance
- Unlimited time‑off
We encourage exceptional applicants from all backgrounds to apply for this role, even if they do not meet all the requirements listed.
