The Opportunity
Are you an experienced Site Acquisition, Real Estate or Expansion professional looking for an opportunity to take ownership of a growing region and play a key role in Europe's transition to sustainable mobility?
We're partnering with an established, fast-growing European business operating in EV charging and sustainable infrastructure, currently investing significantly in its continued expansion across Germany and wider European markets.
As part of this growth, we're looking for a Senior Expansion Manager to drive site acquisition and regional development across Southern Germany, with a particular focus on Munich. This is an opportunity to join an ambitious international organisation, take ownership of your territory and directly influence the development of new infrastructure projects.
Rather than simply managing existing opportunities, you'll have the autonomy to build a regional pipeline from scratch, identify and secure strategic locations, and develop long-term commercial partnerships.
As the business continues to grow, there will also be opportunities to take on leadership responsibilities and support the development of a growing regional team.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify, prospect and secure new locations for the development of EV charging infrastructure across Southern Germany.
- Build and manage your own pipeline of potential sites, from initial outreach through to successful commercial agreement.
- Establish and develop relationships with landowners, commercial property developers, retailers, municipalities and other strategic partners.
- Lead commercial negotiations, including long-term lease and site acquisition agreements.
- Assess prospective locations based on commercial viability, accessibility, visibility and development potential.
- Collaborate with internal legal, construction, development and operations teams to progress new locations.
- Take ownership of regional expansion activities and contribute to the company's wider growth strategy.
- Potentially mentor and support junior colleagues as the regional team develops.
What We're Looking For
- At least 6 years' relevant experience in site acquisition, commercial real estate, retail expansion, project development or a related infrastructure sector.
- A proven track record of independently identifying, negotiating and securing new sites or commercial locations.
- Strong prospecting and business development capabilities, with experience building pipelines from scratch.
- Excellent commercial negotiation and stakeholder management skills.
- Experience working on substantial or complex acquisition and development projects.
- A proactive, personable and commercially driven approach, with the confidence to engage and influence a wide range of stakeholders.
- Very good German and good English communication skills.
- Willingness to travel regularly throughout the region, with occasional national and international travel.
Previous EV charging experience is NOT required!
We're particularly interested in candidates from:
- Commercial real estate and property acquisition
- Retail and hospitality expansion, including supermarket and restaurant chains
- Solar, renewable energy and land development
- Fibre optics and telecommunications infrastructure
- Commercial property and infrastructure development
If you've previously helped retailers, developers or infrastructure businesses identify and secure new locations, your experience could be highly transferable.
What's on Offer?
Alongside the opportunity to join a growing European business and take ownership of a key expansion region, you'll receive a comprehensive compensation and benefits package.
- Up to €84,000 annual base salary, depending on experience.
- Discretionary company-wide performance bonus.
- Employee stock option programme, subject to eligibility.
- Generous annual personal development and training allowance.
- Corporate pension scheme with employer contribution top-up.
Flexibility, Mobility & Wellbeing
- Fully electric company lease car with charging covered, subject to company policy and availability.
- Flexible working arrangements with significant autonomy.
- Support for commuting and business travel.
- 29 days' annual leave, plus additional days for volunteering or mission-related activities.
- Subsidised sports and fitness membership.
- Mental wellbeing support, including access to professional coaching.
- Additional family and parental wellbeing benefits.
- Join a collaborative and international business with ambitious European growth plans.
- Regular team events, social gatherings and international company trips.
- Work alongside experienced professionals across multiple European markets.
- Significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape regional expansion strategy.
- Potential to develop leadership responsibilities as the team grows.
- Make a tangible contribution to the development of Europe's future mobility infrastructure.
