Head of Procurement

Description 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, Lower carbon, 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's global supply chain spans distributed residential installations, utility-scale generation EPC and manufacturing of our in-house designed hardware. As Head of Procurement you'll build and lead the function that turns all of that third-party spend into a competitive advantage: the right suppliers, the best terms, tight governance and a relentless focus on landed cost.
