Job description

Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy, fast. We’re combining first‑principles thinking with cutting‑edge technology to build a radically better energy system. We’ve raised more than $210M from top‑tier investors including Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, Box Group and strategic angels like Nico Rosberg, the co‑founder of Solana and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.

We’re building a fully integrated energy company: from developing solar, wind and battery projects to real‑time power trading and distributed energy installations. By selling directly to consumers, we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass savings on to customers.

Fuse’s global supply chain expands across 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. You’ll lead a team of category‑owning Procurement Managers and own the procurement strategy end‑to‑end.

Responsibilities

• The procurement function and strategy across all categories: installations, EPC (utility‑scale generation) and hardware manufacturing.
• Leadership and development of the complete procurement team.
• Global supplier strategy and the overall supplier base: selection, segmentation, performance and relationship management.
• Commercial terms and governance: contract standards, approval workflows, spend controls and procurement policy.
• Cost‑out targets and value delivery across the group’s third‑party spend.
• Cross‑functional partnership with installs, development/EPC, hardware/product and finance to align procurement with the build‑out roadmap.

Qualifications

• Significant procurement / strategic sourcing / supply‑chain leadership experience, ideally spanning more than one of: capital projects/EPC, manufactured hardware, field operations.
• A track record of building supplier bases and delivering material cost savings at pace.
• Strong commercial and contract negotiation instincts, with the judgement to balance cost, speed and risk.
• Comfortable building a function from a relatively early base: process, team and systems.
• First‑principles operator who can go from category strategy down to the detail of a single PO.
• Energy, renewables, construction or hardware‑supply‑chain background a strong advantage.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and an equity sign‑on bonus
• Bi‑annual bonus scheme
• Fully expensed tech to match your needs
• Paid annual leave
• Breakfast and dinner allowance for office based employees
• Possibility of remote/hybrid
• A front‑row seat at a fast‑growing, well‑funded energy company solving a problem that matters, with real ownership and high autonomy from day one alongside an exceptional, first‑principles team.
