Remote (US), Central Time preferred Full-time Posted August 18, 2026 Company
Wolfram Chemical and Manufacturing Corporation is developing a large-scale greenfield refining project configured for American light sweet crude from the Permian Basin. The concept is a ~500,000 barrel-per-day facility with a phased, fuels-first design (gasoline, jet, diesel) and the option for later petrochemical expansion. The project is currently at FEL-1. We are raising seed capital to build a small core team of experienced operators and technical support, harden the development package, and prepare for broader engagement with EPCs and project stakeholders. We are founder-led and focused on practical development: clear configuration, disciplined economics, and attracting people who have delivered energy projects at scale.
About the role:
We need someone who understands how crude is bought and sold and how refined products move: relationships, structures, and what makes a product slate bankable.
What you’ll do:
Map realistic crude supply options for a Permian-oriented light sweet slate Develop early product placement logic (RBOB, jet, diesel)Open conversations with producers, marketers, and offtake-side contacts Strengthen the commercial narrative for capital and partners
What we’re looking for:
Background in crude supply/marketing, fuels commercial, trading, or downstream commercial roles Existing sense of buyer/seller dynamics in oil and refined products Willingness to join a development-stage effort contingent on financing Compensation
Base salary contingent on close of seed financing (target on the order of $250k for the right profile).
Equity:
approximately 1% of the Class B / employee pool, 4-year vest with a 1-year cliff. Location
Remote (US), Central Time preferred. Future on-site (Texas) or hybrid work is possible as the project advances.
