Combining decades of research, top talent, and new technologies, we’re designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants.

People who’ll bring new perspectives, solve tough problems, and thrive as part of a team. If that’s you and this role fits, we want to hear from you.

Join the power movement as an Executive Operations Partner

We’re looking for an experienced Executive Operations Partner to join our high-performing People Operations team. This role supports multiple C-Suite executives and works alongside four other EOPs who collectively ensure the executive team is well-coordinated, informed, and focused on what matters most. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-moving, high-growth environment and knows how to bring structure, organization, and calm to the chaos that often comes with start-up life. You’re the type who anticipates needs before they’re spoken, stays two steps ahead, and takes pride in being known for your reliability, judgment, and professionalism.

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality work consistently
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
• Demonstrated ability to work independently while also thriving as part of a team
• High emotional intelligence (EQ) - able to read a room, build trust quickly, and navigate sensitive situations with professionalism and empathy
• A reputation for reliability, discretion, and sound judgment, someone leaders can depend on without hesitation
• Tech-savvy with strong proficiency in tools such as Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom and Teams

Must-have Requirements

• Perform activities such as stooping, climbing, typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time
• Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenics
• Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally

At CFS, we excel in fast-paced environments, driven by our values of integrity, execution, impact, and self-critique. As we grow, we’re eager to bring on mission-driven folks who offer diverse perspectives and fresh ways to tackle challenges.
