Radiant is scaling fast - expanding factory operations, standing up multi-entity structures, and taking on both government and commercial deployments
This role will manage our liability exposure in a centralized manner - owning programs across all teams and building out our risk infrastructure
As Risk & Compliance Lead, you will build and own Radiant’s risk management function from the ground up - mapping exposure across the entire business, optimizing our insurance and other risk-coverage programs (including layered nuclear-related coverage requirements), and identifying / prioritizing / closing gaps before they become findings
You will mature our programs into a proactive, structured risk governance, and you’ll be the connective tissue between insurance brokers, legal, operations, IT, security, finance, and regulatory teams
This is a high-visibility, largely individual-contributor-to-start role reporting directly to the VP of Finance with the mandate to scale into a broader risk function as our footprint grows
Build and maintain comprehensive liability mapping across Radiant’s entities, business units, and deployment channels (government and commercial)
Design risk isolation strategies (both contractual and insurance-based) appropriate to Radiant’s multi-entity and GOCO/COCO structures
Advise leadership on liability implications of new facilities, long-term contracts, entity formations, and market expansion
Own end-to-end design, procurement, placement, and renewal of Radiant’s insurance program, including Nuclear, Property, General Liability, Auto, Workers’ Compensation, D&O, and other applicable lines
Manage layered coverage requirements tied to nuclear-related operations, ensuring adequacy, compliance, and cost-efficiency
Continuously evaluate coverage-to-exposure ratios to close gaps and eliminate redundant or underperforming spend, driving improved insurance ROI
Develop recommendations based on risk exposure, partnering with Finance on contingency adequacy and reporting
Build reporting frameworks and KPIs to provide leadership, Board, investors, and lenders a clear, insightful view of Radiant’s risk posture
Serve as the primary bridge between insurance brokers, carriers, legal, operations, IT, security, finance, and regulatory/licensing functions on all matters of risk and compliance
Partner with BD on new deployments (government and commercial) to ensure risk and coverage considerations are built in from the start, not retrofitted after the fact
Identify and remediate gaps proactively across regulatory and licensing requirements, reducing exposure to gaps and audit-driven contingent liability findings
Work closely with our Regulatory Engineering team to own compliance procedures relevant to operations, keeping documentation and processes audit-ready at all times
