We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Business Development Manager to join our sales team.

We can change the world for good, one charge at a time.

We are an electric vehicle charging company on a mission to change the world for good. We want to make charging inclusive, convenient, and reliable, just a small part of our journey to become the UK's favourite charging network.

We deliver on-street community EV charging, working with local authorities to support residents unable to charge their vehicles at home. We also install future-proof EV charging infrastructure at workplaces, retail destinations, car parks, commercial real estate, and for residential developers.

We’re working to better connect people to places, councils to communities, and businesses to a brighter future

Your primary responsibilities will include developing and executing sales strategies, identifying and pursuing new business opportunities, cultivating strong customer relationships, and meeting sales targets.

By leveraging your expertise, you will play a pivotal role in promoting the adoption of on-street Electric Vehicle Charging Points across the nation.

In this role, you'll also act as the vital link between the company's sales goals and the intricate work of the bid team. Your contributions will ensure that proposals are not only meticulously prepared but also strategically aligned with the company’s overarching objectives

About You

• You will be resilient and commercially focused.
• You will have proven hands-on business development experience, particularly in managing long-term and complex contracts.
• You will be able to establish meaningful relationships, present effective solutions, and utilise government funding to close deals successfully.
• You will act as a champion for our brand and products, effectively communicating to potential new clients what makes our offerings unique and exceptional.
• You will be passionate about environmental and sustainability matters.

If you meet the role requirements, thrive in a fast-paced dynamic environment, and are looking for an opportunity to shape the future of EV infrastructure projects, we’d love to hear from you!
