CEO Office Associate

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.

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.

This role combines project delivery, strategic thinking and a natural drive for efficiency. You will operate at the heart of Proxima’s leadership, with a front row seat at scaling Europe’s leading fusion company.

At Proxima Fusion, our mission is bold: making limitless clean energy a reality. To get there, we need a high-performing, diverse team that brings different perspectives, challenges assumptions, and builds together with purpose. We know that diversity of thought and experience leads to better ideas, stronger execution, and a more resilient team. We don’t look at how you identify, what you look like, who you choose to worship or what ethnicity you are. We care about what you can bring to the table.
