Operational Excellence Lead

Blykalla is a global leader in advanced nuclear technology, commercialising the next generation of clean, reliable energy through

its lead-cooled reactor, the SEALER. By combining decades of specialised research with world-class partners, Blykalla is building

the backbone of the global AI and industrial economy. For more information, visit https://www.blykalla.com.

As Operational Excellence Lead, you’ll build how Blykalla works and keep improving it. We’re growing fast and building a

first-of-a-kind reactor, so our management system needs to grow with us. You’ll set up and own the framework for processes, KPIs

and digital tools, and work with owners across the business who drive improvement in their own areas. We’re kick-starting this as

a focused effort now; over time it becomes a continuous improvement function at the heart of the company.

You’ll be Blykalla’s specialist in operational excellence and coordinate improvement work across the organisation. This includes

but is not limited to:

• Work with process owners to define, map and prioritise our critical processes, and keep them simple enough that people follow

them.

• Make sure every process has a clear owner and is published where people can find it, in close cooperation with Quality

Assurance.

• Work with our digital team so that processes and systems fit together: one system of record per process, and data that flows

into one place.

The Operational Excellence Lead reports to the Head of Projects. We are a diverse team that is passionate about our work and

Blykalla.

You will be part of a highly skilled team with a can-do attitude. We value personnel chemistry and strive to create a workplace

where you enjoy coming to. There are however a few things that we think will help in order for you to succeed in this role, these

are:

• 5+ years in operational or business excellence, or a related field such as management consulting with an operations focus,

organisational development, or strategy and business operations.

• Bonus: experience with digital tools and systems (process or QMS tools, PLM-type systems, data and dashboards); familiarity

with management system standards such as ISO 9001; experience from engineering-heavy, industrial or regulated industries such

as energy or nuclear, or from a scale-up; familiarity with project controls such as planning, cost control and earned value;

Swedish.

You’ll join a passionate team developing one of the most promising energy technologies of our time. We offer a fast-paced,

mission-driven environment where your contributions have a real impact. Few roles let you shape how a company works while it is

still being built. You’ll help build not just our company, but the clean-energy future.

We’re building more than a reactor, we’re building a company where people do their best work, together. Our values are the

foundation of everything we do:

As Operational Excellence Lead, you will be a steward of these values, building ways of working that help people take

responsibility, work as one team and get things done.

As part of our recruitment process, we conduct background checks on all candidates. We may also conduct reference checks to gain a

well-rounded understanding of your professional experience, performance, and ways of working. This includes both references

provided by you and, where relevant, conversations with other professional contacts who have worked closely with you. We strive to

be transparent about our reference-checking process and handle all personal data in accordance with applicable data protection

regulations. Any additional references will be sought with professional judgment and only when considered relevant to the role.
