Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for an Administrative Operations Assistant to support our Vice President, Oklo Isotopes and team as it builds a vertically integrated, domestic supply of critical radioisotopes.
Position Description
Oklo is seeking an experienced, dynamic, technically capable Administrative Operations Assistant to support the Vice President Oklo Isotopes and team, and the broader radioisotope production and vertical-integration effort. This role demands a combination of administrative prowess and the agility to navigate a fast-moving company at the frontier of advanced fission (nuclear energy) and the domestic production of critical radioisotopes for healthcare, industry, research, and national security.
Discretion is essential to this role. The Administrative Operations Assistant will regularly handle highly technical, sensitive, and confidential information across the Isotopes vertical, including proprietary technical data, regulatory and licensing materials, partner and vendor agreements, personnel matters, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and information subject to U.S. export-control laws. The role may also require access to regulated facilities operating under government oversight. Given the significance and scope of this work, the successful candidate must demonstrate sound judgment and treat confidentiality, compliance, and accountability as fundamental responsibilities of the position. Employment will be contingent upon the candidate’s ability to satisfy all applicable export-control, CUI-handling, background-screening, and facility-access requirements.
In your cover letter, please describe and link to any creative work you are particularly proud of — an event you planned, artwork, an article or blog post, a website you designed, or even a social media account.
Specific responsibilities may include:
During the initial phase of this role, the successful candidate may provide temporary on-site logistics and administrative support while the company recruits a dedicated full-time facilities professional. Responsibilities may include coordinating the setup of temporary office trailers, arranging regular deliveries of water, beverages, and snacks, establishing janitorial services, and supporting events and hospitality for site visitors. This interim support will help ensure smooth and professional site operations until the facilities position is filled.

Competencies
We are looking for an Administrative Operations Assistant who is:
Who you are:
A startup person: You aren't driven by titles or hierarchy, and prefer efficiency to excess process. You don't need or expect to have a lot of guidance but you enjoy working in a fast-paced team. If you prefer the culture and feel of a large organization, that is great, but you likely won’t enjoy working with us! There is plenty of important work and plenty of good opportunities with organizations like that.
Motivated: You are self-motivated. You bring an enthusiasm to the team, and imbue a sense of passion that goes beyond clocking in and clocking out. This isn’t about a fake or arbitrary “pieces of flair” mentality or lack of work-life balance! It is about being a part of the vision and feeling a part of reaching team goals.
A team-player: Oklo genuinely is a team. We aren’t about taking credit for ourselves, and we aren’t about pushing blame to others. We do incredible things because we work as a team.
An excellent communicator: We need a person who is not only technically competent but also a clear and upbeat communicator.
Creative: Being creative means that when things fall outside clear scopes or processes or problems arise without clear solutions, you are able to identify it as well as invent ways to solve a problem or fill a need without micromanagement. The successful person in this job will not only be creative, but also enjoy being creative and solving open-ended problems which may change day-by-day.
Detail-oriented: This focus is a big part of excellence, consistency, and quality. Excellent grammar and spelling matter for both good communication as well as the image of the company that we put forward.
