## Job description

## Who we are

Founded in 2019, Marvel Fusion is Europe’s leading fusion energy company, uniting 120 scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs across our locations in Munich and Colorado.

Backed by over €385 million in public and private funding, we’re driven by a shared mission: to deliver clean, abundant energy to the world.

## Why Marvel Fusion

By joining us, you will be:

- Solving one of the most complex technological challenges known to humanity, harnessing Fusion on Earth
- Part of a highly purpose-driven team working on providing the world with clean, safe and abundant energy
- Working alongside world-leading scientists and entrepreneurs in the field of Fusion
- Part of a start-up where growth on a company and individual level is the default

## Your responsibilities

- Own project controlling– budgets, actuals, open commitments (Obligo), accruals, forecasts and variances against plan – and consolidate cost, timeline and resource data across multiple concurrent projects into a clear management view.
- Transfer pricing cost base: Deliver the reconciled and documented cost base for intercompany charging between group entities
- Act as a sparring partner to project leads and scientific and technical teams: flag cost overruns early, support corrective action and make cost and margin logic understandable to non-finance stakeholders.
- Support monthly and quarterly consolidation across group entities and drive a faster, more disciplined close calendar in preparation for quarterly external reporting
- Drive and prepare Management, board and investor reporting packages (budget vs. actual, forecasts, KPIs, cash burn) and define KPI and performance measures that are documented, consistent and defensible for later capital markets use, aligned with future segment reporting structure (IFRS 8)
- Planning and forecasting: Optimize and own an integrated planning model (profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow), including headcount and personnel cost planning by function, scenario analysis and cash runway – supporting both financing rounds and a listing case
- Design and implement a group-wide cost accounting model – cost centres, cost objects/projects, functional areas and allocation keys – that is IFRS-compliant, auditable and capable of consistently deriving the functional profit and loss statement.
- Develop the existing controlling setup into a structured automated one, act as mentor and reviewer and build the structures needed for a listed group
- Systems, data and automation: Own the controlling data model in Dynamics 365 Business Central (dimension framework for entity, cost centre, project, functional area and funding source) and the connected tool landscape (Perk, Personio, Timly, BPM layer), and drive standardization and automation of controlling processes, tools and reporting templates

## What you bring

- Degree in Business Administration, Finance, Controlling, or a related field. A professional qualification (CFA) is a plus
- 7+ years of experience in FP&A, project controlling, or corporate controlling; experience in a listed company, IPO preparation, or advisory environment is a strong plus
- Proven hands-on experience with project and portfolio controlling across multiple concurrent projects
- Solid experience with financial consolidation and sound knowledge of HGB and IFRS
- Strong Excel and financial modelling skills; experience with BI/reporting tools and ERP (Dynamics 365 Business Central) is a plus
- Track record of improving and automating controlling processes
- Fluent in German and English;
- Hands-on mentality: comfortable working in the detail (transaction-level data, Obligo lists, raw exports) while building structures that scale; scale-up or high-growth environment experience preferred
- Able to work independently, take full ownership of deliverables with minimal supervision and hold their ground in discussions with senior stakeholders and technical teams

What sets you apart

- Passionate about learning and helping others
- Good interpersonal skills

## About Marvel Fusion

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Electric Power Generation / Fusion Energy
- **Target customers**: B2B – utilities, grid operators, and industrial energy consumers
- **Mission**: “Enable humankind to access clean, safe & reliable energy by developing a laser-driven fusion power plant”

## Products & Services
- **Laser-Driven Fusion Power Plant**: An advanced inertial fusion energy concept combining a proprietary fast ignitor with innovations in laser technology, target design, and energy extraction. The approach builds on the validated physics demonstrated at the National Ignition Facility in 2022 and aims to eliminate the need for tritium through alternative fuel cycles.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding exceeds **USD 400 million** (public + private) per the company website; LinkedIn reports **USD 187.2 million** in tracked funding rounds – the difference likely reflects additional public grants and undisclosed investments.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: EQT Ventures, Siemens Energy, European Innovation Council (EIC) Fund, Tengelmann Ventures, and a network of leading industrial suppliers.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount of **81 employees** (42.9% YoY growth)
  - Inauguration of new experimental chamber “LION 2” at CALA in Garching, Munich (July 2025)
  - Awarded U.S. DOE grant to advance laser fusion (September 2025)
  - Public-private partnership with Colorado State University and infrastructure program in Fort Collins, Colorado
  - Selected for EIC STEP Scale Up Program with potential investment up to EUR 30 million

## Competitive Advantages
- **Validated physics**: Approach is based on the fusion ignition gain demonstrated at the National Ignition Facility (2022), reducing technical risk.
- **Proprietary fast ignitor concept** that could lower costs and increase efficiency compared to other inertial fusion designs.
- **Alternative fuel cycles**: Potential to operate without tritium, simplifying fuel supply and waste management.
- **Strong industrial partnerships**: Strategic collaboration with Siemens Energy and deep ties to European and U.S. supply chains.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling laser-driven fusion toward commercial deployment by advancing laser optics (FusioTile project), target manufacturing, and power plant engineering.
- Expanding U.S. operations: appointment of Puja Gupta as EVP to lead U.S. activities and a major infrastructure hub in Fort Collins, Colorado.
- Securing additional public and private funding to bridge from demonstration to pilot plant.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Values include ownership, empowerment, clarity & trust, diversity of thought, and collaboration. Decisions happen close to the work, and transparency is emphasized.
- **Work model**: Hybrid – offices in Munich (Germany) and Fort Collins, Colorado (U.S.). Some roles may be on-site due to lab and experimental work.
- **Engineering focus**: Opportunities across experimental physics, laser science, controls, IT infrastructure, and data engineering. Active job postings: 11 (as of mid-2026).
- **Perks**: Not publicly detailed, but the company emphasizes impact – working on a breakthrough energy technology with a mission-driven team.
- **Employee sentiment**: LinkedIn rating 3.0/5.0 (7 reviews) with lower scores in compensation (2.3) and career (2.1), but higher in work-life balance (3.4). Small sample size.
