Job Description

Oklo is seeking a Vice President of Strategy to serve as the senior leader of the company’s corporate strategy function.

Key Responsibilities

Build and lead the corporate strategy function. Design the function's operating model; hire, develop, and manage talent; allocate resources; and own the standards, quality, and results of the team.
Own enterprise strategy. Lead the development and refinement of Oklo's long-range strategy, including portfolio choices, priority markets, business models, growth platforms, and the allocation of leadership attention and company resources.
Set a proactive strategic agenda. Identify important opportunities, risks, and unanswered questions before they are formally assigned. Sponsor the right analysis and recommend what the company should pursue, defer, reshape, or decline.
Lead strategic planning and performance reviews. Own the Strategy team's delivery of annual and multi-year planning, objectives and key results, scorecards, and initiative reviews.
Shape major corporate choices. Support the strategic evaluation of partnerships, creative capital initiatives, acquisitions, new ventures, international opportunities, and structural options in collaboration with the relevant business units and functional owners.
Own the strategic-initiative portfolio. Establish objectives, accountable leaders, milestones, decision points, and review mechanisms. Recommend when to advance, resource, redirect, stop, or hand off work.
Advise executive leadership and the Board. Bring independent, evidence-based recommendations; challenge assumptions constructively; frame alternatives and tradeoffs; and lead consequential strategic discussions.
Personally lead selected high-stakes initiatives. Take direct responsibility for a small number of the company's most important initiatives through decision, launch, transaction, or a clear operational handoff.
Integrate strategy across the company. Partner with Finance, Corporate Development, Strategic Partnerships, Legal, Government Affairs, international teams, technical and regulatory leaders, and business units so company-level choices remain coherent through execution.
Build company-wide strategy capability. Establish rigorous methods for business cases, decision memos, portfolio reviews, and strategic planning, and coach colleagues to improve the quality and speed of decision-making.

Requirements

Senior leadership experience. Substantial experience leading corporate strategy, general management, business building, or a comparable enterprise mandate, with a record of shaping company direction and driving implementation.
Functional and people leadership. Demonstrated success building high-performing teams, setting an agenda, developing talent, managing performance, and delivering results through others.
Executive and Board judgment. Experience advising founders, senior executives, or Boards on consequential choices and creating alignment around difficult decisions.
Commercial and financial depth. Strong judgment across business models, partnerships, capital requirements, growth opportunities, portfolio choices, and resource tradeoffs.
Cross-functional execution. A record of leading complex initiatives across functions and business units without relying solely on direct reporting authority.
Exceptional communication. Excellent writing, synthesis, and executive communication, with the credibility to challenge assumptions and represent the company with senior counterparties.
Experience building a Strategy function or leading strategy across multiple businesses in a growing, capital-intensive, or regulated company.
Experience with industrial or technology partnerships, capital formation, international initiatives, acquisitions, or new ventures.
Experience leading executive and Board strategy work and establishing effective company planning and accountability processes.
Takes ownership of the function's agenda, people, standards, and results.
Brings independent judgment and imagination, grounded in evidence and commercial discipline.
Develops strong teams, builds alignment, and makes difficult tradeoffs explicit.
Welcomes constructive disagreement and combines senior leadership with hands-on work.
You want to own a meaningful part of a company's direction and build the team that makes it actionable. You bring an agenda, not just an answer to someone else's question. You can challenge an executive, align business leaders, develop talented colleagues, and take responsibility for what happens next.
