Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has the fastest, lowest cost path to commercial fusion energy.

CFS collaborates with MIT to leverage decades of research combined with groundbreaking new high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology. HTS magnets will enable compact fusion power plants that can be constructed faster and at lower cost. Our mission is to deploy these power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. To that end, CFS has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution. Supported by the world’s leading investors, CFS is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change. To implement this plan, we are looking to add dedicated people to the team who treat people well, improve our work by adding multifaceted perspectives and new ways of solving problems, have achieved outstanding results through a range of pursuits, and have skills and experience related to this role.

As the Senior Director, People Operations you will collaborate closely with executive and senior leaders to drive business strategy and enhance our ability to execute and deliver results. You will take an active role in challenging, coaching, and motivating leaders to elevate their performance. By fully integrating into the organization there is an opportunity to understand the people, the work, and identifying both strengths and areas for improvement.  The goal will be to propose innovative solutions that align with the company culture, addressing challenges and seizing opportunities. 

You’ll support the leaders in building and sustaining a team that meets both current and future needs. This includes implementing, and when necessary, developing People Operations policies, processes, and initiatives, such as review cycles, promotion cycles, and succession planning, that are aligned with strategic business goals. Additionally, smooth transitions will be ensured during periods of change, with close collaboration with the broader People Operations team. This includes working with Talent Development to ensure effective onboarding at the division level.
CFS team members thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and have demonstrated exceptional results through a range of different pursuits. We all tightly align with our company values of integrity, execution, impact and self-critique. As we grow, we are looking to add talented people who are mission driven and bring diverse perspectives and new ways of solving problems.
