Legal and Compliance Administrator

Oak Ridge, Tennessee

Standard Nuclear is fueling America’s nuclear renaissance at industrial scale. Our mission is to deliver the essential building blocks of nuclear power—enabling cost-effective, safe, and secure energy for the world. 

We are seeking a highly capable professional to fill a hybrid role that combines senior executive support with corporate governance, contract administration, and paralegal-type responsibilities. This person will work at the intersection of the executive office, the legal / corporate-secretary function, and the board of directors. The role suits someone who is equal parts a polished, proactive executive assistant and a detail-driven legal and governance administrator.  Because this position routinely handles confidential corporate, financial, and board-level information in a highly regulated industry, discretion, sound judgment, and integrity are the most important qualities we are hiring for.

The Legal and Compliance Administrator will work mainly with the Chief Legal and Compliance Officer and Corporate Secretary, and the Chief Financial Officer, but also with other members of the executive leadership team.

 

RESPONSIBILITIES

Executive & Administrative Support

  • Manage complex calendars, travel, and expense reporting for one or more senior executives.
  • Coordinate and prepare for internal and external meetings, including agendas, briefing materials, and follow-ups.
  • Serve as a trusted liaison among executive leadership, board members, internal teams, and outside parties (counsel, auditors, vendors, regulators).
  • Draft, edit, and format correspondence, memos, presentations, and reports.
  • Handle sensitive and confidential information with consistent discretion.

 

Corporate Governance & Board Support (Assistant to the Corporate Secretary)

  • Support the Corporate Secretary in preparing for board and committee meetings: scheduling, logistics, agenda preparation, and assembling and distributing board materials (including via board portals such as Diligent or similar).
  • Draft and maintain meeting minutes, board and committee resolutions, and written consents.
  • Maintain the company's corporate records and minute books, entity records for subsidiaries, and good-standing / annual-report filings.
  • Administer director and officer (D&O) questionnaires and conflict-of-interest/independence disclosures.
  • Assist with annual meeting preparation and other governance calendars and deadlines.
  • Coordinate with equity administration on stock and cap-table matters as needed.

 

Legal & Contract Administration

  • Own the contract lifecycle: intake, tracking, routing for review and signature, execution, organized storage, and monitoring of renewals, expirations, and key obligation dates.
  • Maintain the contract database / contract-lifecycle-management (CLM) system and keep it accurate and current.
  • Prepare, organize, and assist in redlining standard agreements (e.g., NDAs, vendor and services agreements) under attorney supervision.
  • Coordinate with outside counsel; manage legal files, matter tracking, and legal-invoice processing.
  • Support policy administration, recordkeeping, and general compliance workflows.

 

SEC & Compliance Filings

  • Prepare and file Section 16 reports — Forms 3, 4, and 5 — through the SEC's EDGAR system for directors, officers, and other reporting persons, ensuring strict compliance with filing deadlines (generally two business days for Form 4).
  • Maintain EDGAR access codes and powers of attorney for reporting persons.
  • Track insider transactions and coordinate with finance, equity administration, and counsel to gather accurate transaction data.
  • Assist with other periodic and ad hoc ownership and compliance filings as directed.

 

Process Improvement & Legal Operations

  • Support development of templates, trackers, filing systems, and legal department workflows.
  • Identify opportunities to improve organization, efficiency, and visibility across legal matters.
  • Help establish scalable administrative processes as the legal function grows.

 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • 10+ years of experience supporting executives as an executive assistant, combined with paralegal or corporate / legal administrative experience.
  • Working knowledge of corporate governance practices and board support.
  • Familiarity with SEC Section 16 reporting and the EDGAR filing process.
  • Demonstrated experience with contract management and document handling.
  • Exceptional confidentiality, discretion, and professional judgment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, organization, and attention to detail.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (or Google Workspace), Workiva and comfort learning board-portal and CLM tools.

  • Health Savings Account
  • Disability and Life Insurance
  • 401K Plan

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
