Job Description:
Aviation faces an existential crisis due to its climate impact,
with no apparent roadmap for meaningful carbon reduction, let alone
meeting Paris Agreement emissions targets. That is where Universal
Hydrogen (UH2) comes into play. Our aspiration is to fuel the
global aircraft fleet with our revolutionary hydrogen modular
capsule-based logistics network, which seamlessly links green
hydrogen production with consumption without costly fixed
infrastructure. -With over 200 hydrogen fuel cell regional aircraft
under LOI across 16 operators, UH2 is on track to be among the
single largest global purchasers of green hydrogen. You are the
deal maker that will connect our airline customers with hydrogen
producers worldwide. With long-term, high volume contracts you have
the opportunity to help create a new global market for green
hydrogen.
To fuel our aircraft with the most economical liquid hydrogen, you
will develop our liquid hydrogen offtake and sales strategy across
most regions globally. Transitioning aviation to hydrogen will
define how fuel service needs to evolve, versus the current way jet
fuel is exchanged. You will define and negotiate trading
mechanisms, risk management strategies, and global partnerships
that need to be setup to support the exponential growth planned for
our entry into service and beyond. You and your new team will work
closely with the wider operations team and the global sales
organization to develop the clean hydrogen trading business that
will be implemented globally, spearheading the execution of the
wider value chain. This is your opportunity to play a critical role
in the decarbonization of aviation this decade. -
About the Role
About You
About Us
At Universal Hydrogen, our mission is to fuel carbon-free flight
and reduce the climate impact of air travel. We are stitching
together the end-to-end hydrogen value chain for aviation, both for
hydrogen fuel and hydrogen-powered airplanes. We are building a
transport and logistics network that moves hydrogen from production
facilities to airports over the existing freight infrastructure,
eliminating the need for costly new pipelines and storage
facilities. Our system utilizes specialized capsules that safely
store hydrogen during transit and also act as modular fuel tanks
that load directly onto aircraft. We are also developing powertrain
conversion kits to retrofit existing airplanes and enable new
airplanes to fly on hydrogen. Founded by former executives from
Airbus, United Technologies, Google, and DARPA, and backed by
investors such as Playground Global, JetBlue, Toyota, and Airbus,
we are convinced that hydrogen is the best and only scalable
solution to truly decarbonize aviation, and we want to bring it to
market decades sooner-by 2025. -We strive for a culture that is
empowered, collaborative, open, and human-centered. We are driven
by a sense of urgency to address climate change through the
near-term decarbonization of commercial aviation. We recognize that
people have a diverse set of preferences for work conditions and
hours that optimize for their overall productivity and wellness,
and both our cloud-based IT setup and flexible work policy reflects
this. However, because we are building physical products, most
roles will require working at our facility at Hawthorne Airport in
Los Angeles most of the time. -Our compensation and benefits
package promotes transparency, equitability, and long-term employee
well-being, while rewarding individual and team performance. This
includes cash bonuses and significant equity participation for all
salaried employees, employer-paid health insurance coverage,
generous parental leave, a pet-friendly headquarters located at
Hawthorne Airport in Los Angeles, and generous paid time off. As a
young company, we are actively working to expand the benefits we
provide-including childcare, retirement, parental, and mental
health benefits-and we're always open to feedback on what's most
important to you. - -We know that no two candidates are the same,
and we want to give you the opportunity to present yourself in the
best way possible. Don't hesitate to let us know how we can support
a great recruitment process for you-whether that includes off-hours
interview scheduling, captioning/transcription services, or other
accommodations. We value diversity in all its forms, and encourage
people from all backgrounds to apply, especially if you share in
our mission to decarbonize air travel.
Our total compensation for this position can range from $149,800 to
$219,800. The ranges provided are our reasonable estimate of the
base and total compensation for this role. The actual amounts may
vary based on factors such as experience, knowledge, skills, and
abilities related to the position.
Please note that for the health and safety of our employees, we
require all employees to provide proof of up-to-date COVID-19
vaccinations as recommended by the CDC (or a valid exemption).
