Who we areWhy Marvel Fusion
Your responsibilitiesFounded in 2019, Marvel Fusion is Europe’s leading fusion energy company, uniting 120 scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs across our locations in Munich and Colorado.
Backed by over €385 million in public and private funding, we’re driven by a shared mission: to deliver clean, abundant energy to the world.
By joining us, you will be:
- Solving one of the most complex technological challenges known to humanity, harnessing Fusion on Earth
- Part of a highly purpose-driven team working on providing the world with clean, safe and abundant energy
- Working alongside world-leading scientists and entrepreneurs in the field of Fusion
- Part of a start-up where growth on a company and individual level is the default
- Own project controlling– budgets, actuals, open commitments (Obligo), accruals, forecasts and variances against plan – and consolidate cost, timeline and resource data across multiple concurrent projects into a clear management view.
- Transfer pricing cost base: Deliver the reconciled and documented cost base for intercompany charging between group entities
- Act as a sparring partner to project leads and scientific and technical teams: flag cost overruns early, support corrective action and make cost and margin logic understandable to non-finance stakeholders.
- Support monthly and quarterly consolidation across group entities and drive a faster, more disciplined close calendar in preparation for quarterly external reporting
- Drive and prepare Management, board and investor reporting packages (budget vs. actual, forecasts, KPIs, cash burn) and define KPI and performance measures that are documented, consistent and defensible for later capital markets use, aligned with future segment reporting structure (IFRS 8)
- Planning and forecasting: Optimize and own an integrated planning model (profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow), including headcount and personnel cost planning by function, scenario analysis and cash runway – supporting both financing rounds and a listing case
- Design and implement a group-wide cost accounting model – cost centres, cost objects/projects, functional areas and allocation keys – that is IFRS-compliant, auditable and capable of consistently deriving the functional profit and loss statement.
- Develop the existing controlling setup into a structured automated one, act as mentor and reviewer and build the structures needed for a listed group
- Systems, data and automation: Own the controlling data model in Dynamics 365 Business Central (dimension framework for entity, cost centre, project, functional area and funding source) and the connected tool landscape (Perk, Personio, Timly, BPM layer), and drive standardization and automation of controlling processes, tools and reporting templates
- Degree in Business Administration, Finance, Controlling, or a related field. A professional qualification (CFA) is a plus
- 7+ years of experience in FP&A, project controlling, or corporate controlling; experience in a listed company, IPO preparation, or advisory environment is a strong plus
- Proven hands-on experience with project and portfolio controlling across multiple concurrent projects
- Solid experience with financial consolidation and sound knowledge of HGB and IFRS
- Strong Excel and financial modelling skills; experience with BI/reporting tools and ERP (Dynamics 365 Business Central) is a plus
- Track record of improving and automating controlling processes
- Fluent in German and English;
- Hands-on mentality: comfortable working in the detail (transaction-level data, Obligo lists, raw exports) while building structures that scale; scale-up or high-growth environment experience preferred
- Able to work independently, take full ownership of deliverables with minimal supervision and hold their ground in discussions with senior stakeholders and technical teams
- Passionate about learning and helping others
- Good interpersonal skills
