Fuse Energy · London, United Kingdom · Full-time · Posted 2026-07-01

Workplace: on_site

Description

Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.

We've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.

We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers, we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.

Fuse's global supply chain spans 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.

• A track record of building supplier bases and delivering material cost savings at pace
• Strong commercial and contract negotiation instincts, with the judgement to balance cost, speed and risk
• Comfortable building a function from a relatively early base: process, team and systems
• First-principles operator who can go from category strategy down to the detail of a single PO
• Energy, renewables, construction or hardware-supply-chain background a strong advantage
