With over 364,000 charging points and 2.5 million charging cards across 22 countries, Last Mile Solutions is Europe’s leading platform for EV charging and energy transaction management.

Our mission is simplifying the energy transition and creating a sustainable world by turning energy into value.

Our events are where our brand comes to life. Every trade show, webinar and Partner event is a chance to turn energy into value: to connect Partners, prospects and colleagues.

Our events are one of our strongest brand touchpoints. You create the event and webinar materials and content, in line with our brand guidelines. You work closely with cross‑functional teams and external partners to ensure every event runs smoothly and every message stays on brand.

You are based in our Rotterdam office (3 days a week), and travel across Europe is regular, including occasionally a full week away.
