Corporate Finance Associate

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 is a capital-intensive business scaling extremely quickly, and how we finance it is central to how we win. As Corporate Finance Associate, you'll sit on the principal side of the financings that fund the company: structuring, negotiating and executing them end to end, directing lenders, advisors and counsel, and working directly with leadership on the capital base of the business. It's the natural next step for a strong analyst or associate ready to move from advisory to principal and own outcomes rather than pitch them.
