Head of Government Relations

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 raised $100M from top-tier investors including Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lower carbon, Ribbit, Box Group and strategic angels like Nico Rosberg, the Co-Founder of Solana and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify, Uber and more.

We’re creating a fully integrated energy company: from developing solar, wind and hydrogen projects to real-time power trading and distributed energy installations. By selling directly to consumers, we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass on savings to customers.

But we’re not stopping there. We’re also building the Energy Network: a decentralised platform of smart devices that rewards users in Energy Dollars for electrifying their homes, shifting usage to off-peak hours, and helping balance the grid. This network strengthens grid stability - a critical foundation for scaling AI data centers and other energy‑intensive industries.

We are looking for an exceptionally driven and strategic operator to lead Government Relations at Fuse and shape the regulatory environment that underpins our global expansion. You will work directly with the founders and senior leadership team to position Fuse as a leader in the future of decentralised clean energy.

The ideal candidate is an independent thinker who can execute at high intensity, build senior relationships across government and regulatory bodies, and move rapidly from policy strategy to practical implementation. You will operate at the centre of Fuse’s mission, influencing how the energy system evolves in the UK, US, Europe, and beyond.

You will lead Fuse’s government, regulatory, and policy strategy across the UK, US, and key European markets. This includes shaping the policy landscape, driving regulatory access, and unlocking strategic opportunities for Fuse’s renewable development, decentralised energy network, trading, and international expansion.
