Group Tax Manager

Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy, fast. We're combining first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system. We've raised more than $210M from top-tier investors including Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, Box Group and strategic angels like Nico Rosberg, the co founder of Solana and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber. We're building a fully integrated energy company: from developing solar, wind and battery projects to real time power trading and distributed energy installations. By selling directly to consumers, we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass savings on to customers.

We're looking for a Tax & Audit Manager to join the team. In this role, you will own the financial compliance backbone of a fast scaling, multi entity energy group, and the tax structuring that turns that group into a more valuable one. You'll take end to end ownership of group tax, external audit, compliance financial reporting, insurance and the corporate admin that keeps new entities standing up cleanly across the UK, US, EU and beyond. Just as importantly, you'll shape how the group is structured: recommending the corporate, intercompany and financing arrangements that minimise tax and maximise value as we grow. You're the person who makes sure that as Fuse moves fast, nothing breaks on the regulatory side, and that we're never leaving value on the table.

Responsibilities

• Tax structuring and value creation: proactively optimise the group's corporate structure, intercompany agreements, financing and entity footprint to minimise tax leakage and maximise after tax value as we scale and enter new markets.
• Group tax compliance across all entities: corporation tax, VAT/sales tax, R&D and other tax credits, payroll taxes and indirect taxes, owning filings, payments and deadlines across the UK, US and new jurisdictions as we expand.
• Transfer pricing and intercompany arrangements across the multi entity structure, working with external advisors to keep policy and documentation current.
• The external audit end to end: planning, running the auditors, resolving queries and delivering statutory accounts on time across entities.
• All compliance financial reporting: ensuring statutory, regulatory and filing obligations (Companies House, Ofgem, HMRC and US equivalents) are met accurately and on schedule.
• The insurance programme: mapping every operational, asset and corporate risk and procuring/maintaining the right cover (PI, D&O, property, construction/erection, liability) as the business adds new activities.
• Corporate and general admin tied to compliance: new entity incorporation and set up, company secretarial, registrations and the ad hoc operational tasks that come with standing up a global group.

• Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CTA or equivalent) with a strong tax and audit grounding, ideally practice trained or a mix of practice and in house.
• Exposure to group structuring, transfer pricing design, M&A tax or financing structures, you can spot where value is leaking and propose the fix, not just keep the documentation current.
• Hands on experience managing external audits and multi entity statutory reporting.
• Solid working knowledge of UK tax (corporation tax, VAT, payroll); exposure to US and/or international tax is a strong plus.
• Comfortable owning compliance without hand holding in a fast, ambiguous environment; you spot what needs doing and do it.
• Highly organised, deadline driven and detail obsessed, with the judgement to know what's material.
• First principles thinker who wants to build clean processes, not just maintain them.

Bonus:

• Experience standing up entities in new jurisdictions.
• Energy, trading or other regulated sector experience.
• Familiarity with insurance procurement and risk mapping.

• Competitive salary and equity ownership opportunities, you share in what you help build.
• Bi annual bonus scheme
• Fully expensed tech to match your needs
• Paid annual leave
• Breakfast and dinner allowance for office based employees
• A front row seat at a fast growing, well funded energy company solving a problem that matters, with real ownership and high autonomy from day one alongside an exceptional, first principles team.
