Workplace Experience Manager

WHO WE ARE

At Proxima Fusion, we're driven by a bold mission – to redefine the future of sustainable energy. Our unique concept, built upon the groundbreaking W7-X stellarator and the latest advances in technology, paves the way for commercially viable fusion power plants.

What’s more, our work in stellarator optimization, powered by cutting-edge computation and machine learning, is propelling us into uncharted territories of fusion technology. New higher performance design points are unlocked by high temperature superconducting magnets.

To fully grasp this huge opportunity, we’re building a team of extremely dedicated and passionate people who come together driving something extraordinary, radically transforming technology in the world.

• You will get to work on some of the most complex tech challenges to bring abundant, safe, clean energy to the world.

YOUR IMPACT

• As Workplace Experience Manager, you will own how it feels to work at Proxima across Munich, Oxford, Zurich and the sites still to come.

• Standardise processes, policies and tools, so employees get the same answers and service levels wherever they work.

• Manage the workplace budget and vendors across sites, balancing consistency with cost.

• Gather employee feedback through pulse checks and site walk-throughs, and turn it into concrete improvements.

• Shape culture through space and rituals, partnering with People on events, onboarding moments and community-building so the offices actively support how teams work together.
