Are you a natural storyteller who can turn complex science into compelling soundbites? As Centrus Energy’s Public Affairs Manager, you’ll be the friendly face and trusted voice of our Piketon operations—building bridges with the local press, government leaders, community groups, and our own employees. You’ll craft messages that resonate, manage our community outreach programs, and make sure we’re always seen as the good neighbor who just happens to work with world-class nuclear technology. In short: if it involves people, communication, and connection—you’ll be at the heart of it.
What You Will Do:
You’ll lead community relations, coordinate corporate giving, and be our go-to media spokesperson in Piketon. You’ll cultivate strong relationships with local leaders and press, manage outreach programs, write and distribute news releases, and ensure consistent, accurate messaging across Centrus HQ, the Department of Energy, and site contractors. You’ll also play a critical role in emergency communications, delivering timely and clear information to the public when it matters most.
