Proxima Fusion

WHO WE ARE 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. WHY JOIN PROXIMA FUSION * You will get to work on some of the most complex tech challenges to bring abundant, safe, clean energy to the world. * You'll get to join and learn from an exceptional selection of accomplished and driven individuals. * Do your life’s best work and enjoy the journey. * Get to show that big things are possible in Europe when you assemble the best talent. YOUR IMPACT * You own Proxima Fusion's building regulations and permitting strategy - across multiple sites, from day one. * Your work spans the Alpha facility permitting process, site development approvals, and the early regulatory landscape definition for Stellaris - a programme horizon broad enough that you will be shaping permitting strategy for projects still being defined alongside those already in motion. * Permitting is a critical path item, not a support function. You ensure that regulatory requirements are understood early and fed upstream into design and planning decisions - and that Proxima Fusion's relationships with planning authorities are built on solid ground. * You work in close coordination with both the Head of Siting & Infrastructure, responsible for Proxima’s construction projects and the Head of Licensing & Regulation, who leads Proxima Fusion's nuclear and radiation licensing strategy - ensuring that building permit timelines and licensing requirements are sequenced correctly and never work against each other. WHAT YOU WILL DO * Own the permitting strategy and execution for Alpha across all relevant sites - defining the regulatory pathway, managing authority relationships, and ensuring permitting timelines are embedded as hard inputs into the Integrated Master Schedule * Lead building regulations and planning approval processes across Garching and Gundremmingen simultaneously; manage the possibility of a site change as a live planning scenario without losing momentum on either active front * Establish and maintain working relationships with relevant planning and building authorities, and specialist regulatory advisors at all locations * Ensure permitting requirements flow upstream into the Basis of Design and structural, systems, and MEP design inputs - not the other way around; act as the bridge between regulatory constraints and the engineering team * Prepare and manage permitting documentation in coordination with the lead architect and external planning team; own the submission process and track authority responses * Define the regulatory landscape and way-forward playbook for Stellaris permitting preparation - including site-specific constraints, authority mapping, and timeline implications - so that when Stellaris permitting begins in earnest, the groundwork is already in place * Coordinate closely with the Head of Licensing & Regulation to ensure building permit processes and nuclear licensing requirements are sequenced coherently - flagging where planning approvals and licensing timelines interact, and ensuring neither track creates blockers for the other WHO YOU ARE * Experienced in building regulations, planning law, and permitting processes for major industrial, energy, or research infrastructure projects in Germany - you know how German planning authorities work and how to move them * Strategic as well as operational: you can define a multi-site permitting strategy and manage its execution simultaneously, not just process individual applications * Comfortable working in a design-inform role - you understand how regulatory constraints shape structural and systems design decisions, and you engage with engineers upstream rather than reviewing outputs downstream * Experienced managing authority relationships directly - you are the owner-side face to planning bodies, not a coordinator of external consultants who hold those relationships * Aware of the radiation protection licensing landscape in Germany - you do not need to be a specialist, but you understand how nuclear or radiation-related facility licensing timelines interact with building permit sequencing and can plan accordingly * Fluent in German and English, written and spoken - authority relationships are German-language; internal working language is English * Familiar with AI tools and digital working methods; comfortable in a lean, high-autonomy environment * Background in planning, building regulations, or regulatory affairs for energy, industrial, or research facilities is strongly preferred; experience across multiple simultaneous permitting processes is a strong plus * Aware of the radiation protection and nuclear licensing landscape in Germany is a plus - you do not need to be a specialist, but you understand how licensing timelines interact with building permit sequencing and can coordinate effectively with the Head of Licensing & Regulation who owns that domain INTERVIEW PROCESS * Recruiter Interview (30-60 min) * Technical Screening (30 min) * Technical Panel (3x60 min) * Final CEO call (30 min) *This role sits at "L3" of our framework, please inquire during the recruitment process for further information. 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.

Abound

About Abound We’re redefining consumer lending in the UK, and beyond. Using advanced AI and Open Banking data, we make fair, affordable personal finance available to more people. While traditional lenders rely almost entirely on credit scores, we look at the full financial picture - how much you spend, and what you can afford to repay to build a deeper, more accurate understanding of each customer's unique financial situation. And we've shown it works at scale. We’ve issued over £1.3bn in loans directly to customers while delivering market-leading credit performance - for every 10 defaults the industry expects, we see only 3. We also reached profitability just 2.5 years after launch. Backed by £2bn+ of funding from top-tier investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we’re recognised as one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintechs (Sifted, CNBC). Now, we’re expanding into new markets and product lines - and we’re looking for ambitious people who want to learn fast, take ownership, and grow with us. The Role We are hiring a Head of Credit Risk and Reporting to support the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) in overseeing credit risk management across an expanding set of products, channels, and geographies. The role exists to ensure that credit and product risk is measured, monitored, and communicated in a consistent, decision-useful way as the business scales. This is a hands-on leadership role. While it is not a deep, hands-on data science position, it does require someone who is a doer as well as a coordinator – comfortable getting into the detail of MI, asking probing questions, and driving follow-up actions through to completion. The role spans both traditional credit risk and new product risks (for example, Section 75 exposure), working closely with product teams, data scientists, and senior management. What you'll be doing * Support the CRO in overseeing credit and product risk management across multiple products, channels, and geographies. * Own and oversee the completeness, accuracy, and clarity of credit risk management information (MI) across the business. * Define and maintain standardised credit risk reporting frameworks, metrics, and definitions to ensure consistency and comparability as the business scales. * Coordinate inputs from product, underwriting, and data science teams into a single, coherent cross-product risk narrative. * Provide clear, structured credit risk updates into Product Steering Committees and Monthly Product Forums. * Oversee the monitoring and reporting of key credit performance triggers and concentration metrics. * Ensure adherence to internally defined risk limits and externally defined triggers arising from funding arrangements. * Identify and assess risks arising from new products, features, or geographies, and ensure appropriate monitoring is in place. * Proactively identify emerging risks or concentrations and ensure timely escalation and remediation. * Lead programme management for audits, funding due diligence, and other external reviews. * Act as a key point of contact for funders, auditors, lawyers, and advisors on credit and product risk reporting. Who You Are * A rigorous, disciplined, and hands-on professional with a strong sense of ownership and accountability. * Comfortable operating in a scaling organisation where structure and coordination become increasingly important. * Technically fluent in credit risk concepts, portfolio metrics, concentration analysis, and performance monitoring. * Confident challenging data, assumptions, and narratives in a constructive, commercially grounded way. * Highly organised, with strong execution and stakeholder management skills. * Credible and composed when engaging with senior management and external counterparties. Experience & Background * Around 5 years’ experience in a numerate, analytical, or risk-focused role (e.g. credit risk, finance, consulting, audit, analytics, operations). * Experience across one or more consumer lending products such as Unsecured Personal Loans (UPL), BNPL, Mortgages, or Auto finance. * Experience producing, reviewing, or owning MI in a multi-product or multi-channel environment. * Familiarity with credit risk performance metrics, portfolio monitoring, concentration analysis, and performance triggers. * Experience working with internal risk limits and/or external covenants, triggers, or funding-related reporting. * Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex topics clearly to senior audiences. * Does not need to be a deep data scientist, but must be comfortable working closely with data scientists and getting into the detail where required. Why Abound * Take ownership of a critical role supporting Abound’s continued growth and expansion into new products and markets. * Work closely with the CRO, senior leadership, product teams, and external stakeholders. * Help shape scalable, best-in-class credit and product risk reporting and governance. * Operate in a high-trust role with real responsibility, visibility, and impact. What we offer * Everyone owns a piece of the company – equity. * Hybrid working with 3 days a week in the office. * 25 days’ holiday a year, plus 8 bank holidays. * 2 paid volunteering days per year. * One month paid sabbatical after 4 years. * Employee loan. * Free gym membership. * Team wellness budget to be active together – set up a yoga class, a tennis lesson or go bouldering.
