[Hiring] Director of Community Affairs @DISA Uranium

Role Description

The Director of Community Affairs leads DISA Uranium’s community outreach and engagement across the western United States and on the Navajo Nation. This person sets the strategy and oversees the execution of every community-facing effort the Company undertakes — from county commission meetings and chamber luncheons to chapter house meetings, open houses, site tours, and grassroots coalitions — and makes sure the Company shows up consistently, honestly, and respectfully wherever it works.

The Director will build and manage the Company’s community affairs program and team, design grassroots engagement and coalition strategies, develop the messaging and communications that carry them, and bring a clear, candid read on community sentiment back to executive leadership. The successful candidate understands how trust is built in rural Western communities and with Tribal nations, knows how to organize supporters and partners into durable coalitions, and can move comfortably among ranchers, business owners, local and Tribal leaders, elders, and longtime residents alike.

Uranium carries real and painful history across this region, and nowhere more so than on the Navajo Nation. The person in this role must hold that reality with credibility and care, respect Tribal sovereignty and community protocols, listen more than they talk, and never let the Company’s words get ahead of its commitments or the facts.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in communications, public affairs, political science, public policy, American Indian studies, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of experience in community affairs, public affairs, grassroots organizing, campaigns, strategic communications, or a comparable field, including at least 5 years leading programs and teams.
• A proven record of designing and running grassroots engagement programs and building and deploying coalitions to achieve real outcomes.
• Strong strategic communications skills, including message development, audience targeting, and spokesperson preparation.
• Experience working with Tribal communities and Tribal governments, with a demonstrated understanding of Tribal sovereignty and culturally appropriate engagement.
• Deep familiarity with the rural communities, local governments, and issues of the western United States.
• Strong public speaking skills and the confidence to represent the Company in front of a county commission, a chapter meeting, a packed community forum, or a skeptical neighbor.
• Exceptional organization and judgment, with the ability to manage multiple regions, programs, and priorities at once.
• Discretion, integrity, and sound instincts with sensitive information and politically complex situations.
• Willingness to travel frequently and work evenings and weekends as community meetings and events require; valid driver’s license required.

Requirements

• Experience in mining, energy, natural resources, or other industries that operate in rural communities and depend on community support.
• Experience supporting projects through public permitting, environmental review, or public comment processes.
• Experience managing community investment, sponsorship, or community benefit programs.
• Existing relationships with local elected officials, civic organizations, and media across the region.
• Established relationships or experience working on the Navajo Nation and in communities across the Four Corners region.

Benefits

• The chance to shape how a first-of-its-kind company shows up across the American West — cleaning up a real environmental legacy while rebuilding a strategic domestic supply chain.
• Real ownership of the Company’s community affairs program, with direct access to executive leadership and the External Affairs team.
• The autonomy to build a program and a team from the ground up and the resources to do it well.
• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience, plus a competitive benefits package.
• A mission-driven, fast-moving culture that rewards initiative, integrity, and follow-through.
• 401k Matching up to 4%
• Excellent Healthcare Benefits
• Bonus Pool
• PTO

Company Description

DISA® Uranium Corporation (DISA Uranium) is redefining American uranium recovery and production. Headquartered in Casper, Wyoming, the Company recovers uranium and vanadium from abandoned uranium mine (AUM) waste, remediates legacy sites left across the western United States, and applies its patented HPSA® technology to make conventional uranium production cleaner, more efficient, and more economic.

We hold the only U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license to treat and recover AUM waste across multiple sites — and with a growing conventional resource base behind it, the Company is building the domestic capacity to turn American waste and American ore into American fuel.

Our mission is simple: restore the past while powering the future, and rebuild a secure domestic uranium supply chain.

To Apply
