Number of Vacancies: 1 Contract Duration: 6 Months Hours of work: 35 hrs/wk Location: Oshawa, ON (Hybrid – 2 days remote) Rate of Pay: $62.00-$74.31/hr CAD Resume Due Date: Tuesday, July 21st, 2026 (5:00PM EST) • The Business Development Analyst (Fusion Strategy & Partnerships) is an individual contributor role responsible for advancing the organization’s fusion strategy by transforming high‑potential partnership concepts into structured, decision‑ready opportunities. • The analyst will identify, evaluate, and progress ventures and collaborators through a defined pipeline, from early screening and diligence to business case development, negotiation mandate support, and agreement execution—while producing clear, executive-ready narratives that are understandable to non-technical leaders and credible with technical experts. • In parallel, the analyst will help advance the Center for Fusion Energy (CFE) from concept into a partner-aligned development plan by coordinating partner engagement, building foundational materials (value proposition, ecosystem map, phased roadmap, governance options), and maintaining the operating cadence required to keep initiatives moving. • A core element of the position is financial stewardship and governance discipline: developing and maintaining funding trackers tied to milestones and deliverables, supporting quarterly/annual allocation recommendations, monitoring burn rate and forecast, and preparing approval documentation. • Success is measured by the ability to move priority opportunities forward, improve partner engagement effectiveness, ensure traceable and controlled use of funds, and consistently deliver concise, high-quality decision packages for leadership. • The ideal candidate will have a bachelor’s degree in business, Finance, Economics, Engineering, Science, or Public Policy (a master’s degree such as an MBA, MPA/MPP, or MASc/MEng is an asset). • They should typically bring 5–8+ years of progressive experience in business development, corporate development, strategy, commercial analysis, management consulting, or venture/innovation partnerships, including 2–3+ years directly supporting partnership formation and execution (e.g., MOUs, MSAs, research collaborations, JV-style arrangements) and producing decision-ready materials for senior leaders. • Experience working in regulated or high-governance environments (energy/utilities, nuclear-adjacent, aerospace/defense, advanced manufacturing, pharma) and/or in contexts requiring strong procurement, approvals, and auditability discipline is strongly preferred. • The role requires strong analytical and communication capability: the candidate must be able to build structured opportunity assessments (screening/scoring models and diligence frameworks), develop concise executive packages (one-pagers, briefing notes, investment/decision memos), and perform quantitative work such as financial modelling, scenario analysis, and budget/forecast tracking with variance management. • They should be comfortable translating technical inputs into commercial implications and have working knowledge of contracting fundamentals (milestones/deliverables, risk allocation, liability, pricing structures), IP considerations (background/foreground IP, confidentiality, publication rights), and partner governance models (stage-gates, steering committees, KPIs). • Advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint is expected, with Power BI/dashboarding as an asset. • Helpful professional designations include PMP (governance and delivery discipline), CPA/CFA (financial stewardship and diligence), CBAP (structured business analysis), and for technically trained candidates P.Eng.; contract management training (e.g., WorldCC/IAACM-aligned coursework) is also beneficial.
