Corporate & Strategic Finance Associate

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 is a capital-intensive business scaling extremely quickly, and how we finance it is central to how we win.

As Corporate Finance Associate, you'll sit on the principal side of the financings that fund the company, structuring, negotiating and executing them end to end, directing lenders, advisors and counsel, and working directly with leadership on the capital base of the business. It is the natural next step for a strong analyst or associate ready to move from advisory to principal and own outcomes rather than pitch them.

Responsibilities:

• Structuring, negotiating and executing the group's non-project debt: corporate and special-situations facilities including RCFs, working-capital and growth debt, and holdco lines.
• Owning the trading financing that underpins our power-trading operations: liquidity, margin and collateral facilities.
• Leading financings end to end from the principal side, from sizing and structuring through diligence, term sheets, documentation and close.
• Building and owning the models and analysis behind each transaction: capital structure, covenants, scenario and returns work.
• Managing lender and counterparty relationships and the ongoing life of each facility: drawdowns, covenant compliance, reporting and refinancing.
• Partnering with leadership on capital strategy: how much to raise, in what form and when, as the business scales.

Qualifications:

• 2 to 5 years in leveraged finance, restructuring or M&A at a leading bank, advisory boutique or fund.
• A strong execution record on live financing or M&A transactions, ideally with exposure to leveraged or structured debt.
• Excellent financial modelling and structuring skills, with the judgement to turn analysis into decisions.
• Comfortable running transactions and directing advisors, lenders and counsel under time pressure.
• First-principles operator who wants to build, not just execute mandates.
• Strong quantitative or STEM background.

Bonus:

• Energy, infrastructure, commodities or power-trading sector experience.
• Familiarity with collateral, margin and ISDA/CSA mechanics.
• Exposure to working-capital, receivables or inventory financing, or to equity and growth fundraising.

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 work.
• 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.
