Job Description

Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Recycling Operations Manager to join our engineering and product teams. We are looking to fill this position immediately. Position Description Recycling operations is responsible for the human, organizational, and operational effectiveness of Oklo’s Recycling Division. The Recycling Operations Manager is a strategic, cross-functional operator who focuses on how recycling work happens. This role identifies friction points across communication, organization, tooling, information flow, and process, then partners with senior leadership to design and implement practical solutions. Specific ownership includes procurement and engineering documentation processes and workflows within recycling. This operations role extends Operations-owned systems (People Ops, Business Ops, Quality, Supply Chain) into recycling-specific workflows so highly technical teams can stay focused on delivering complex, regulated technology at scale. This is a systems-and-strategy role centered on owning and improving clarity, efficiency, and effectiveness across engineering and product. Specific responsibilities may include: - Diagnose root causes across process, tooling, ownership, communication, and cross-team interfaces, and implement solutions. - Own scalability and efficiency of the recycling division processes, including budgeting, purchasing, planning, and hiring. - Own and maintain the division procurement process to ensure proposals and contracts are properly scoped and swiftly executed. - Create and maintain engineering work instructions and best practices, ensuring they are clearly documented and easy to access. Partner with quality assurance to ensure practices are right-sized and in compliance. - Identify opportunities to replace overly manual workflows with automation or improved tooling. - Work with Business Ops and Procurement to streamline budgeting, purchasing, and resource planning for engineering teams. - Coordinate and execute high-leverage recycling forums (e. g. , offsites, design reviews, all-hands) to ensure they are purposeful and well-run.

Minimum Qualifications: - 3+ years of experience in engineering operations, product operations, management consulting, technical program management, or similar roles. - Demonstrated experience improving cross-functional workflows, operating models, or organizational systems. - Experience working directly with senior leadership (Director level and above) to diagnose problems, influence decisions, and implement change. - Strong written and verbal communication skills. - Proven ability to operate independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. Bonus Qualifications: - Experience working with engineering, hardware, or other highly technical teams. - Exposure to heavily regulated industries (energy, nuclear, aerospace, medical devices). - Experience in a startup or scaling organization. - Familiarity with tools such as Confluence, Jira, or similar systems. Competencies Technical & Role-Specific Competencies - Strong structured problem-solving skills; ability to break ambiguous problems into clear workstreams and decisions. - Experience designing and improving operating models, processes, or systems for technical teams. - Comfort working with technical content and engineering organizations without being the technical expert. - Ability to build and maintain lightweight dashboards, trackers, or operating rhythms. - Judgment to apply "just enough process" to meet compliance and scaling needs without slowing teams down. Ways You Work - Highly organized and able to manage multiple priorities across teams. - Clear, concise written and verbal communicator. - Proactive, low-ego operator who takes ownership and follows through. - Comfortable navigating ambiguity and iterating as priorities evolve. - Comfortable in a fast-paced, highly iterative startup environment.
