Job description

About Connekt

Connekt is a fast-growing EV infrastructure provider. With strong roots in destination charging, we now help organisations roll out workplace and fleet depot charging through our fully funded Charging as a Service (CaaS) model.

We remove the barriers to electrification by funding, installing, and operating charging infrastructure with no upfront cost.

Our focus is on workplace charging and depot-based fleets, delivering smart, scalable solutions that combine hardware, software, funding, and ongoing support into one seamless offering.

We’re a scaling, fast-paced business where adaptability is everything. We move quickly, make decisions fast, and back people who take ownership. It’s not for everyone, but for the right person, it’s a huge opportunity to grow and make an impact.

The Role

We are looking for a Business Development Executive to help grow our UK business, based in our Manchester regional office.

• Meet and exceed activity and revenue targets with support from senior team members.

What We’re Looking For

• 1–2 years’ experience in B2B sales (experience in EV, energy, or fleet not required)
• Strong ability to build trust and influence stakeholders at all levels
• Commercially minded with a consultative, problem-solving approach
• Highly self-motivated, organised, and eager to learn
• Confident communicator, both in person and on the phone
• A keen interest in sustainability, or renewable energy is a plus
• The role isprimarily office-based, with time spent in external meetings as required

Why Join Connekt?

• Be part of a high-growth business in one of the fastest-growing sectors globally.
• Sell a truly differentiated, fully funded solution that solves real customer challenges.
• Access ongoing training and development to build expertise in EV and energy solutions.
• Clear career progression opportunities as the business scales.
