Job Description

The Senior Director of Corporate Development, reporting to the Vice President of Commercial and Strategy, owns the long-horizon growth architecture of TerraPower Isotopes across mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, alternative revenue structures, and capital planning.

Key Responsibilities

Mergers, Acquisitions, and Partnerships
Originate, screen, and prioritize acquisition, merger, joint venture, and partnership opportunities against TPI’s strategic position and capital constraints

Lead financial and commercial diligence, integrating technical, legal, quality, and regulatory workstreams into a single view of value and risk
Structure deal transaction terms, governance, and support negotiation through to signing
Prepare Board-level transaction materials presenting risks, rewards, and alternatives across scenarios without slant toward a preferred outcome
Develop post-close integration plans, including synergy definition, sequencing, and tracking against the deal case
Long-Term Revenue Architecture
Design and evaluate alternatives to unit-priced supply
Model the trade-off between near-term realized price and long-term participation in customer product value
Assess counterparty creditworthiness, clinical probability of success, and dilution exposure where non-cash consideration is contemplated
Capital Planning and Financing
Develop and maintain the long-range financial plan linking production capacity expansion, revenue ramp, and capital requirements
Evaluate equity, debt, project finance, government, and strategic-partner funding alternatives against cost of capital, dilution, covenants, and control
Prepare fundraising materials, including financial models, data room content, and investor and lender diligence responses
Support negotiation of financing terms and maintain working relationships with banking, lending, and advisory counterparties
Market and Pipeline Intelligence
Maintain a current view of the alpha therapy and broader radiopharmaceutical landscape, covering clinical pipelines, isotope supply capacity, competitor economics, and transaction comparables
Identify the developers, contract manufacturers, and suppliers TPI should be building relationships with, and articulate the strategic rationale for each
Track public and private market valuations relevant to TPI
Deliver concise analytical briefs to the Vice President of Commercial and Strategy and the TPI Leadership Team on developments that change the strategic picture
Regulatory and Compliance
Ensure corporate development activity complies with export control requirements, antitrust and competition law, and confidentiality obligations governing transaction processes

Minimum of 15 years of progressive experience in corporate development, investment banking, private equity, or strategic finance, including a substantial portion within the radiopharmaceutical, nuclear medicine, pharmaceutical, or medical device industry.
Demonstrated ownership of completed transactions from origination through close, spanning valuation, diligence, structuring, and negotiation.
Deep working knowledge of the radiopharmaceutical value chain, including isotope production economics, clinical development timelines, and the reimbursement environment for radiotherapeutics.
Advanced financial modeling capability, with the ability to build, audit, and defend valuation and long-range planning models without analytical support.
Experience evaluating and structuring non-cash consideration such as equity or royalty interests.
Experience presenting to and defending recommendations before boards of directors, investment committees, or comparable governing bodies.
Ability to operate as a senior individual contributor today and to build and lead a team as the business scales.
Excellent written communication, with the ability to reduce complex financial and strategic analysis into concise, decision-ready material.
A passion for mission-driven innovation in the nuclear medicine and radiopharmaceutical space.
