Social Media Lead

We are building one of the most potentially consequential companies of the century. Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to fusion energy while safeguarding humankind. This is not a normal company. This is not a normal job. We are committed for the long term to win.

As Social Media Lead at Fuse, you'll build how Fuse shows up online — growing our social presence, turning complex technical work into compelling content, and improving how people discover Fuse across social and search. You'll work directly with engineering, creative, recruiting, and leadership to tell the story of what we're building and why it matters.

• Obsess about the details — sloppy work costs us later, so do it right the first time.

• Care — pick up the trash. Do things no one asks you to do. Go the extra mile because you care.

• Act with urgency — every hour matters more than it feels like it does.

• Be responsible for the outcome, not just the task; if it is not working, it remains your problem until it is fixed.

• Assume good intent — disagree openly, then commit fully once a call is made.

• Build and execute Fuse’s social media strategy across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube, and other relevant platforms.

• Create compelling content around Fuse’s technology, people, launches, tests, and company milestones.
