VP of Commercial Relations

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.
