Our mission is to be the world’s first fully clean mining and metals production company, producing the resources needed for the next generation of our economy.

If you are driven to shape the future of aerospace, defense, and national security through innovation in domestic supply chains, this is your opportunity to have real impact.

Our Values:

● You are only crazy if you are wrong, it’s ok to be wrong

● Lead with Compassion

● Be Resourceful

● Listen

● Hustle

Who We Are Looking For:

Phoenix Tailings is looking for a senior government affairs leader to define and execute our aerospace and defense engagement strategy at the highest levels of the U.S. government. This role will directly shape how Phoenix becomes a trusted supplier of critical metals to the defense industrial base and a strategic partner to DoW, Congress, and federal agencies.
