About the role

Original posting from General Matter via Greenhouse

About the Company 

General Matter is enriching uranium in America.

Our goal is to design, build, and operate the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services in the United States. 

Our mission is to restore America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel—fuel that will power AI, advanced manufacturing, critical industries, and the next generation of nuclear reactors.

Ultimately, our work will help power national ambitions and enable a high-energy society.

We were incubated by Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by top-tier investors. Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production. 

We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.

Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.

About This Role 

General Matter is building the supply chain that will put American-enriched uranium back into production, and we are looking for a Supply Chain Analyst to keep our teams supplied with everything they need to build. In this role you will support the full range of supply chain functions—purchasing, vendor management, inventory, and data—working shoulder to shoulder with the engineers and operators building mission-critical hardware. You will own problems end to end, from sourcing a custom component to cleaning up the data that tells us what to buy and when. You will primarily operate for a functional area in the business: Software + I&C, Engineering, or Operations. The analyst role works directly with the engineers and operators to turn requirements into orders, ensure all needs are met, and maintain the organizational supply chain.

Responsibilities

Support procurement and purchasing of components, raw materials, and services for the departments you support, from requisition through delivery.

Manage vendor and supplier relationships day to day—placing and expediting orders, tracking performance, and resolving supply issues before they slow the team down.

Own category and vendor management for assigned commodities, including qualifying suppliers and negotiating for price, lead time, and availability.

Track inventory, demand, and shortages, and give engineering and manufacturing clear visibility into what is clear-to-build.

Maintain accurate master data in our ERP/MRP systems and build the reports and analysis the team needs to make fast, informed decisions.

Build reports, dashboards, and cost models that drive decisions to capture and communicate the status of the supply chain program.

Partner cross-functionally with engineers, operators, and other supply chain team members to identify problems and drive them to resolution with a bias for action.

Basic Qualifications

Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc). 

Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals. 

Ability to perform trade studies and make clear recommendations using first principles and engineering fundamentals even with partial information. 

Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Business, Economics, or a related field.

2–3 years of experience in supply chain, procurement, planning, operations, or a related analytical role (internships included). 

Preferred Skills and Experience

Experience in a fast-paced engineering or highly technical environment, with a resourceful approach to delivering under tight timelines or budget constraints.

Hands-on experience with an ERP/MRP system (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle).

Strong data management and analysis skills, including advanced proficiency in Excel.

Exposure to procurement or purchasing processes, including working with suppliers on lead times, MOQs, and price breaks.

Experience in a hardware, manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or other highly technical environment.

SQL, Python, or BI tools (Power BI, Tableau) experience.

Experience buying to nuclear or other quality standards (e.g., NQA-1, 10 CFR Part 21, ISO 9001, AS9100).

Additional Requirements:

Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
