About Commonwealth Fusion Systems:

Commonwealth Fusion Systems is on a mission to deliver the urgent transition to fusion energy.

Combining decades of research, top talent, and new technologies, we’re designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants. And we're working with policymakers, suppliers, and many others to build the energy industry of the future.

We’re in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018, we’ve raised $4 billion of capital, making us the largest and leading fusion company in the world.

Now we’re looking for more thinkers, doers, builders, and makers to join us. People who’ll bring new perspectives, solve tough problems, and thrive as part of a team.

If that’s you and this role fits, we want to hear from you. Join the power movement as Power Business Research and Analytics Manager

Commonwealth Fusion Systems is moving fusion power out of the laboratory and onto the grid. We are at a critical inflection point, and this is a rare opportunity to join the foundational team that will commercialize the world’s first fusion power plants.

In this role, you will apply rigorous analysis to the commercialization of fusion power within the broader context of the evolving U.S. and global electric power sectors. You will develop specialized subject matter expertise on critical drivers of the urgent transition to fusion energy—including commercial deal structuring, scaling a new technology, and how our fusion technology integrates into future energy markets. Working alongside world-class leaders in the premier private fusion enterprise, you will gain unmatched visibility into the commercial mechanics establishing this new industry.

We are seeking a driven, highly analytical professional who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments. Essential qualities include strong initiative, rapid adaptability, and the capacity to convert raw research into actionable insights that drive business outcomes.
