Thank you for considering Oklo. We are hiring a Vice President of Strategy to build and lead our corporate Strategy function.
Position Description
Oklo is seeking a Vice President of Strategy to serve as the senior leader of the company’s corporate strategy function. Reporting to the Chief Strategy Officer, you will shape Oklo’s enterprise strategy, lead the Strategy team, and help the company make and execute its most consequential decisions.
The function is designed to be proactive and high leverage: identifying emerging opportunities and risks, developing independent points of view, and deploying a focused team against the company’s highest-priority questions and initiatives.

You will work directly with the founders, CFO, and business-unit leaders, bringing forward original recommendations, constructively challenging assumptions, and leading the Strategy function’s contribution to executive and Board decisions. You will be accountable for the quality of company-level strategy, the effectiveness of the Strategy function, and the impact of the initiatives it leads.
