Program Assurance – Product Development
Blykalla is scaling quickly in order to industrialize our small modular reactor (SMR) concept. If you are passionate about nuclear technology and want to make a significant impact, join us!
Build structure, create clarity, and drive complex nuclear programmes forward
At Blykalla, we are developing next-generation small modular reactors (SMRs) to enable a fossil-free future. Our work sits at the intersection of deep technology, safety-critical engineering, and ambitious growth. To succeed, we need exceptional execution at scale.
We are now looking for a Program Assurancer – Product Development to take end-to-end responsibility for running our product development as an integrated programme. This is a leadership role for someone who thrives in complexity, challenges assumptions, and creates clarity across strategy, projects, and stakeholders.
Your mission
You will own and drive the product development programme, ensuring that strategy is translated into executable plans and that multiple, interdependent projects deliver together – on time, within scope, and with the right priorities.
You will act as the glue between projects, functions, and leadership, with a constant focus on execution quality, risk management, and transparency.
What you’ll do
Create clarity downwards
Run product development as a programme by creating a clear link between strategy, programme and individual projects. Create the systems and processes needed to execute the programme and enable project managers to deliver within their projects in support of the programme.
Challenge project execution
Review individual projects within the programme - their plans, timelines, and deliverables. Push back on logic gaps, unrealistic assumptions, and execution risks. Make sure each project within the programme stays on track within its timelines, cost, and scope. Track that your challenges are addressed.
Coordinate across the programme
Handle dependencies, conflicts, resource competition, budget priorities, delays, and deliverables that impact the success of the programme. Be the glue that makes the programme work as a whole, beyond individual projects. Identify risks and opportunities that cross project boundaries and that individual project managers would miss.
Create clarity upwards and outwards
Continuously maintain a current picture of programme health for senior management and external stakeholders. Be the source of truth on programme status - know what's happening across all projects at any time and communicate it clearly and coherently.
Who you are
You are a highly structured and analytical person who is comfortable operating in ambiguity and complexity. You combine strategic thinking with a strong execution mindset and are confident in challenging senior stakeholders when needed.
We believe you have:
Experience coordinating multi-project portfolios with competing priorities and resources is a valuable asset
A proven track record of turning ambiguous goals into concrete plans and timelines
The ability to integrate engineering, business, and management perspectives in a complex technical environment
Experience in challenging senior stakeholders and holding teams accountable for delivery
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; a background in management consulting or equivalent is advantageous
Excellent communication skills, including the ability to present complex information clearly and visually
A university degree in a relevant engineering discipline
Fluency in English; Swedish is a plus
How you work
Direct, clear, and concise in communication
Quick to spot gaps, risks, and inconsistencies
Constructively challenge upwards, downwards, and across the organisation
Create clarity from complexity
Take initiative and have a short response time
Get up to speed quickly, even in unfamiliar technical domains
Work with high precision and quality standards
Focus on solutions, not just problems
Why Blykalla
At Blykalla, you’ll work on one of the most impactful engineering challenges of our time – enabling scalable, fossil-free energy. You’ll be part of a highly driven, kind, and ambitious team where responsibility, trust, and execution matter.

About Blykalla
Blykalla is Sweden's only SMR vendor, commercializing lead-cooled fast reactors for industrial use. Based on 20+ years of research, their SEALER technology is a compact 55 MWe unit designed to offer a safe, efficient, and scalable power solution. With a strong foundation within Sweden, Blykalla is well positioned to deliver Europe's first advanced SMR, providing reliable and sustainable baseload energy to power AI and clean industries.
Backed by partners such as Uniper, ABB, KSB, Höganäs, and the Royal Institute of Technology, Blykalla has secured close to EUR 50 million in funding, including a SEK 99 million grant from the Swedish Energy Agency and a EUR 17 million investment from the EU. The company plans to complete its first SEALER reactor by 2030 and begin serial production in the 2030s. By 2050, their technology could generate up to 500 TWh of clean electricity annually, cutting global CO₂ emissions by 0.5 gigatons each year.
