CEO Office Associate

WHO WE ARE Proxima Fusion is Europe’s fastest-growing fusion company and the continent’s best-funded fusion player, as well as the first spin-out from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP).

Backed by over €650M and powered by a growing team across Munich, Zurich, and Oxford, we are developing the hardware and infrastructure needed to deliver the world’s first commercial stellarator fusion power plant.

Our concept advances the most mature fusion technology out there, the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, through two next-generation machines: Alpha and Stellaris.

Our work combines stellarator optimization, advanced computation, machine learning, and high-temperature superconducting magnets to unlock higher-performance designs that were previously out of reach.

Turning these designs into a functioning fusion power plant requires excellence and ownership across every discipline, from physics and engineering to software, manufacturing, law, and business functions.

WHY JOIN PROXIMA FUSION You will get to work on some of the most complex tech challenges to bring abundant, safe, clean energy to the world. You'll get to join and learn from an exceptional selection of accomplished and driven individuals. Do your life’s best work and enjoy the journey.

Get to show that big things are possible in Europe when you assemble the best talent. YOUR IMPACT You’ll work closely with the Chief of Staff, the CEO and his Personal Assistant to keep the CEO Office running at neck-breaking speed.

You’ll own the delivery of critical projects and materials that support company strategy and Proxima’s external representation.

You’ll also help us work through practical strategic questions: where should the CEO spend time, what information does the leadership team need, and how do we keep people informed and connected as Proxima grows across multiple locations.
