Fuse Energy

Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.
We've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.
We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.
Fuse grows through both organic build-out and acquisition. As M&amp;A + Strategy Associate, you'll own acquisitions end to end and drive the strategic projects that decide where the business goes next: new markets, new business lines and the questions that land on the leadership team's desk. You sit on the principal side, owning deals and outcomes rather than advising on them. It's the natural next step for a strong analyst, associate or consultant ready to move from advising to building.
Responsibilities
<ul>
<li>Owning acquisitions end to end, from sourcing and screening targets through valuation, diligence, structuring and negotiation to close</li>
<li>Shaping where Fuse goes next by working out which markets and business lines to enter, build, or buy and what it takes to win there, taking each strategic question from open problem to a recommendation leadership can act on</li>
<li>Building the models, market work and investment cases that turn a go/no-go into a decision that holds up</li>
<li>Driving execution and delivery by running the workstreams, advisors, data rooms and timelines so deals and projects actually close, then carrying approvals through into integration</li>
<li>Parachuting into special projects, the unplanned high-visibility work that lands at short notice and needs a small team to find the answer and execute, with leadership watching closely</li>
</ul>
Requirements
<ul>
<li>2 to 5 years in M&amp;A, investing (PE, VC or infrastructure), corporate development or a similarly high-intensity analytical seat</li>
<li>Excellent financial modelling, valuation and structured problem-solving skills</li>
<li>An independent operator who can parachute into an ambiguous problem and drive it to an answer and an outcome</li>
<li>Strong commercial judgement and the communication skills to make a case to leadership</li>
<li>Relentless, detail-oriented and highly operational, moving fast from strategy to implementation</li>
<li>Strong quantitative or STEM background</li>
<li>Bonus: energy, infrastructure or renewables sector experience; leading or supporting acquisitions from origination through close; new-market entry or new business line build-out</li>
</ul>
Benefits
<ul>
<li>Competitive salary and eligibility for equity</li>
<li>Biannual bonus scheme</li>
<li>Fully expensed tech to match your needs</li>
<li>Private health insurance</li>
<li>Breakfast and dinner allowance for office-based employees</li>
</ul>
As we hire globally, benefits vary by location.
