Rivan Industries (Rivan.com) is a vertically integrated synthetic fuel company designed to decarbonise industries you can’t electrify. We aim to make synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels and sustain life on earth by keeping the CO2 locked underground.
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, allowing us to access one of the largest liquid markets on earth and forcing industry to adopt our new standard.
We’re looking for a Head of Talent and People with the scar-tissue to own our hiring function so we can meet our exponential manufacturing and deployment targets without compromising talent density. We hire the top 0.1% of engineers and operators from 10ks of applicants each year, so we need someone obsessed with building exceptional teams and culture.
