Job description

As Commercial Solutions Manager, you will help Milence turn energy & grid challenges into commercial opportunities. Reporting to the Regional Lead North, you will manage commercial projects and develop partnerships that help secure power for our charging hubs and support the continued expansion of our network. You will work at the intersection of energy, infrastructure and commercial development, developing partnerships with energy generators and other market participants and helping translate grid and energy challenges into practical commercial solutions.

This is a highly cross-functional role. You will work closely with colleagues across Site Acquisition, Grid, Energy, Legal, Finance and Commercial, coordinating different inputs and keeping opportunities moving from initial concept through to commercial agreement.

What you will do

• Build energy partnerships: Identify and develop opportunities with energy generators, suppliers and other market participants that can help provide power to existing charging hubs or unlock new locations.

• Turn challenges into opportunities: Work with Grid, Energy and Acquisition to understand power and grid constraints and help develop commercially viable solutions that support network expansion.

• Build the business case: Bring together commercial, financial and technical inputs to prepare clear business cases, investment approvals and recommendations for decision‑making.

• Coordinate tenders: Support and coordinate Benelux tender activities with the Regional Lead, bringing together internal stakeholders, commercial inputs, documentation and approvals.

• Progress agreements: Work closely with Legal, Finance and other stakeholders to support negotiations, contracting and project documentation, keeping opportunities moving towards execution.

• Keep the commercial pipeline moving: Maintain clear opportunity overviews, reporting and project documentation, ensuring stakeholders understand priorities, decisions, actions and dependencies.

• Spot new opportunities: Follow developments in energy markets, regulation and partnerships and identify opportunities that could help Milence optimise existing hubs or continue expanding the network.

• Contribute beyond your core scope: Take on additional commercial projects and cross‑functional workstreams as business priorities evolve, contributing additional expertise and capacity to initiatives supporting Milence's network and commercial objectives.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who enjoys bringing people together, solving commercial problems and turning opportunities into action.

You combine commercial thinking with strong organisational and analytical skills. You are comfortable working with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders and can take information from different teams and turn it into a clear way forward.

You may have built your experience in energy, renewable energy, infrastructure, e‑mobility, project development or commercial development. You do not need to be a grid engineer, but you should be curious about energy and comfortable understanding technical or grid‑related information and translating it into commercial opportunities.

You bring:

• Around 3–5 years of relevant experience in energy project development, energy product management, commercial project coordination, infrastructure or a comparable environment.

• A bachelor's or master's degree, or equivalent working and thinking level, ideally in areas such as Energy, Engineering, Business, Economics or Finance.

• Experience coordinating projects involving multiple internal and external stakeholders.

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage several workstreams, priorities and deadlines.

• Good commercial judgement and confidence working with business cases, financial information and commercial assumptions.

• The ability to understand technical, grid or energy‑related information and translate it into clear commercial documentation and recommendations.

• Experience working with CRM, pipeline, reporting and project‑management tools.

• Strong written communication and stakeholder‑management skills.

• The confidence to take ownership of agreed workstreams and influence progress without formal authority.

• Professional fluency in English and Dutch.

What we offer

You'll be joining us at an exciting stage of growth where you can make a visible impact, work alongside passionate experts, and help solve some of the most complex challenges in the energy transition.

In return, we offer:

• The opportunity to work on technology that contributes directly to a more sustainable future.

• A high‑impact role with significant ownership, autonomy and visibility across the business.

• A collaborative, international and purpose‑driven culture where innovation and continuous learning are encouraged.

• The chance to work with leading industry partners, manufacturers and technology providers shaping the future of transport e‑mobility.

• Company annual incentive bonus plan.

• Unlimited holiday policy.

• Company pension plan.

• A one‑time home office allowance to create a comfortable and productive workspace.

• Monthly phone allowance.

• A 12‑month fixed‑term employment contract.

Ready to Charge the Future?

At Milence, we believe diverse perspectives drive better innovation and stronger outcomes. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences, nationalities, identities and ways of thinking.

If you're excited about helping shape the future of charging technology and accelerating the transition to sustainable transport, we'd love to hear from you.
