Backed by our $240M Series A — the largest fully secured Series A in the global fusion industry — we are scaling rapidly across multiple geographies. Based in Germany and the US, we have brought together the top scientific and engineering minds using proven technologies to unlock fusion power at commercial scale. Focused Energy is working to realize game-changing scientific innovation that promises to deliver a clean, sustainable and abundant source of power globally. Your Role Building a fusion company across two continents takes focus, strong relationships and thoughtful coordination. Our CEO works closely with investors, governments, strategic partners and the leadership team. You create the structure that helps him use his time effectively and arrive prepared. This is the most senior executive support role at Focused Energy. You will work directly with the CEO as part of a closely coordinated CEO Office, in partnership with and reporting to the Chief of Staff. You will take ownership of the operational infrastructure supporting the CEO, including diary and calendar management, travel coordination, executive administration and stakeholder logistics. The Chief of Staff leads strategic priorities, substantive briefings, executive alignment and follow-through on key decisions. You ensure the practical arrangements and information flow support those priorities effectively. When a delegation trip with twelve meetings across three countries changes at short notice, you bring the overview and experience to rebuild the plan, coordinate the people involved and keep everyone informed. You enjoy solving complex logistics and creating clarity when plans change. You will exercise sound judgment and make day-to-day decisions independently within agreed parameters, knowing when to escalate strategic conflicts or sensitive matters. You will help establish reliable, efficient ways of working as the CEO Office develops. You represent the CEO Office to investors, ministries, partner companies and board members. As the most experienced EA in the company, you also help shape how executive support works across Focused Energy.

Anticipate conflicts, preparation needs and logistical dependencies, and act early. • Coordinate the timely preparation, collation and distribution of briefing materials, working with the Chief of Staff and relevant content owners. • Maintain clear administrative follow-up and ensure decisions, commitments and emerging priorities are promptly communicated to the Chief of Staff for strategic follow-through. • Build trusted relationships with investors, ministries, agencies, partner companies, board members and their offices. • Keep the CEO Office running effectively, including expenses, approvals, signatures, tools, records and contact management. • Help develop shared standards for calendar management, travel, tools and confidentiality, supporting collaboration and teamwork across the EA team, both locally and internationally.
