# IT Operations Lead

> Elementl Power · United States (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-06-01

**Salary:** USD 160,000–185,000

**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** 4. Finance

## Description

**Who we are!**

**Elementl Power Inc.** is an advanced nuclear project developer and independent power producer, building scalable pathways for clean resilient energy. We break the stalemate in advanced nuclear deployment by delivering turnkey development, financing, and ownership solutions -- empowering customers to access nuclear power without the burden of operating assets.

**The Opportunity.**

Elementl Power is developing utility-scale advanced nuclear projects, which means our IT operations have to stand up to Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Department of Energy (DOE) export-control oversight and the documentation scrutiny that comes with institutional capital and federal regulators. We're hiring an IT Operations Lead to own the day-to-day execution of that program.

Reporting to the VP of AI & IT, you will turn our compliance and security architecture into auditable, reliable operations across Entra ID, Intune, SharePoint, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. This is an operator role: you ship the work, run the systems, and own the evidence.

Compliance-grade IT operations are foundational to Elementl's ability to engage with regulators, institutional investors, lenders, and sophisticated counterparties. The auditable controls, controlled-data architecture, and operational discipline you build are what allow the company to develop advanced nuclear projects under NRC and DOE regulatory expectations and the export-control obligations that come with handling controlled technical data. Decisions you make in this role determine whether the company's data, identity, and endpoint posture can withstand external audit and support the long-duration documentation requirements of nuclear development.

## Requirements

**Export Controls & Compliance (10 CFR Part 810)**

-   Implement and operate the IT components of our Code of Federal Regulations Chapter 10 Part 810 export-controls program.
-   Design and maintain controlled-data architecture and foreign-national access restrictions.
-   Conduct access reviews and maintain audit logs in support of the Export Compliance Plan owned by Legal.
-   Produce technical attestation evidence that proves controls are actually working.

**Security Posture & Cloud Infrastructure**

-   Stand up and run auditable IT controls aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0.
-   Own and operate Entra ID SSO across the company's SaaS portfolio.
-   Own the SharePoint tenant — information architecture, permissions, and sensitivity and retention labels.
-   Maintain security posture across the full SaaS and cloud surface area.

**IT Help Desk, Incident Response & Continuity**

-   Run a Jira help desk against documented Service Level Agreements and runbooks.
-   Build serious automation on intake, routing, status updates, and the knowledge base.
-   Coordinate cybersecurity incident response, vulnerability management, and IT disaster recovery.

**What We're Looking for & Who You Are!**

You bring 8–10 years of IT experience, with 2–3 years in a lead role, and hands-on time inside a formal external audit in a cloud-first environment.

**You have hands-on experience with:**

-   Deep working knowledge of Entra ID, Intune, and SharePoint Online, with hands-on GCP exposure
-   Controlled-data segregation in an NRC, DOE, defense, or comparably regulated environment
-   Operating SSO across a SaaS portfolio

**It Would Be Great If:**

-   You hold an industry-recognized security certification such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, CompTIA Security+, GIAC certifications, Microsoft SC certifications, or Certified CMMC Professional (CCP).
-   You have experience with Power Automate and Python.
-   You've worked with a software asset management platform such as Okta, Productiv, or Zylo.
-   You're familiar with Claude or comparable enterprise AI tools.

The energy transition needs people who can move fast and operate with precision. If you're ready to build the compliance and security foundation for the next generation of nuclear energy, we'd love to hear from you!

_The base salary range for this role is $160,000 - $185,000 and has a bonus opportunity._
