Internship – Talent & Venture Development (f/m/x)

Who we are

Founded in 2019, Marvel Fusion is Europe's leading fusion energy company, uniting 75 scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs across our locations in Munich and Colorado.

Backed by over €385 million in public and private funding, we're driven by a shared mission: to deliver clean, abundant energy to the world.

Why Marvel Fusion

By joining us, you will be:

• Solving one of the most complex technological challenges known to humanity, harnessing Fusion on Earth
• Part of a highly purpose-driven team working on providing the world with clean, safe and abundant energy
• Working alongside world-leading scientists and entrepreneurs in the field of Fusion
• Part of a start-up where growth on a company and individual level is the default
  
  

Why this role matters

• This is not standard recruiting. You will not just work a funnel
• You work directly with the Head of People to build the best talent engine ever at Marvel Fusion
• Talent is the single highest-leverage input to a frontier fusion company. The quality of our people determines whether we hit milestones that have never been hit before
• This is a Talent AND Venture role: you learn to see the company as one system and build the talent and business infrastructure that holds it together
  
  

What this role really is

• Understanding the company as a whole system: how strategy, teams, OKRs, and capacity connect, and where the real gaps are
• Reading the current team as a set of personalities and strengths (MBTI, working styles, status quo), then defining who we need to hire to complement it, not duplicate it
• Hiring against strategy, OKRs, and utilization, not against open reqs
• Proactively and constantly searching for the best people in the world to build championship teams, not reactively filling seats
• Building the system that makes this scale: automations, workflows, and tooling (Claude Code, n8n, Make) so the talent engine runs without manual funnel work
  
  

What you will learn here

• How companies actually function as an integrated system of people, strategy, and execution
• How to build championship teams from scratch
• What AAA talent actually means, how to spot it, and how to win it
• How to bring in the best people in the world, not the most available ones
• How to design and automate high-performing talent and business systems in a high-stakes environment
  
  

What you will own

• Build the talent engine end to end with the Head of People: sourcing strategy, interview systems, evaluation frameworks, pipeline infrastructure
• Map the current team (personalities, strengths, OKRs, capacity) and translate strategy into complementary hiring plans
• Automate the system: build workflows and tooling with Claude Code, n8n, and Make so sourcing, screening, and ops run proactively, not manually
• Run the talent cycle end to end: screening, scheduling, candidate communication, debrief coordination (Bar Raiser), final-stage logistics
• Build venture and business systems alongside talent: market and technology mapping, competitive analysis, opportunity assessment, partner research in the fusion and deep-tech space
  
  

What you bring

• Student or recent graduate in business, economics, Wirtschaftsinformatik, STEM, or related
• Systems thinker: you see how the parts connect, not just the task in front of you
• Comfortable building with automation tools (Claude Code, n8n, Make) or fast to learn them
• Exceptionally structured, fast, and reliable. You finish what you start
• Strong analytical and written communication skills
• High standards and judgment. You can tell the difference between good and great
• Comfortable owning ambiguous problems end to end in a high-pace environment
• Fluent English; German is a plus
• First experience in venture development, consulting, VC, or startups is a plus, not required
