Job description

Director Of Business Development

Blue Energy's mission is to unlock energy abundance, energy affordability, energy security, and turn-key decarbonization by developing the fastest path to deploying new nuclear MWs at scale. We are utilizing shipyard manufacturing supply chains and techniques from offshore oil and wind to reduce the cost of nuclear plants by over 60% and the manufacturing timeline to 24 months. Blue Energy is a platform technology that makes use of the latest NRC-approved reactors and is in negotiations with existing nuclear and industrial sites, enabling a much faster regulatory pathway to deploy our first unit. With our innovative centralized shipyard manufacturing approach, we can put nuclear power on a cost-reduction learning curve akin to wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries.

We are seeking a Director of Business Development to lead customer origination and secure long-term offtake agreements for Blue Energy's SMR fleet. In this role, you will identify strategic buyersutilities, data centers, industrials, and government agenciesand structure contracts that underpin our commercial growth and project financing. You'll work cross-functionally with our policy, product, and finance teams to bring modular nuclear energy to market faster and more effectively.

This is a high-impact, external-facing role critical to scaling one of the most transformational energy technologies of this decade.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead origination and execution of long-term offtake agreements, including PPAs, capacity contracts, or possibly thermal energy sales
  • Identify and build relationships with anchor customers across utility, hyperscaler, and industrial sectors
  • Structure and negotiate commercial terms with a focus on risk allocation, creditworthiness, and bankability
  • Collaborate with internal teams (finance, product, policy) to ensure alignment between customer needs and deployment strategy
  • Represent Blue Energy at industry events, customer meetings, and strategic forums
  • Monitor energy market trends, regulatory policy, and procurement mechanisms relevant to long-duration, clean baseload power

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in energy business development, origination, or structured energy sales
  • Proven track record of closing large-scale offtake agreements (e.g., PPAs, tolling, or capacity contracts)
  • Deep understanding of energy markets, decarbonization procurement, and commercial risk structuring
  • Strong network across utility, hyperscaler, industrial, or public-sector energy buyers
  • Exceptional negotiation skills and commercial instincts
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities
  • Self-starter who thrives in a mission-driven, fast-paced environment
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with clean baseload or first-of-a-kind energy technologies (nuclear, hydrogen, geothermal, long-duration storage)
  • Familiarity with DOE contracting, clean energy policy, or federal procurement pathways
  • Background in project finance or commercial strategy for infrastructure assets
  • Prior experience at a utility, hyperscaler, or private equity-backed energy developer
  • We look forward to your application and helping foster an era of safe, clean, affordable, and abundant energy.

    Blue Energy is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. If you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't perfectly align with every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might be the right candidate for this or other roles at Blue Energy now or in the future.
