Summary Generated by Built In

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.
