Role: Founders Associate Location: London / Oxford Reports to: CEO About Milvus Advanced Milvus Advanced is redefining materials science by creating rare metal alternatives through modern alchemy. We replace expensive, scarce elements such as indium, gold, iridium, and platinum with high-performance, earth-abundant nanoalloys and functional materials. Our discovery and scale-up platform turns deep chemistry into manufacturable products for energy, optoelectronics, and chemical manufacturing. As critical minerals take centre stage geopolitically, we ask: what happens when key elements are constrained or run out?
