Join a fast-growing company with a purpose! At Fastned you will actively contribute to accelerating the transition to electric mobility. As our first person on the ground in Austria you will join our mission to build a Europe-wide network of fast charging stations. We are 300+ colleagues from over 40 nationalities, spread across 9+ operational countries, with our HQ located in Amsterdam. We were voted the best charging network in the UK, France, and the Netherlands in 2023 and awarded B-Corp certification in July 2024.
As the first member of the Fastned team in Austria, you will open the Austrian market for our charging network and help bring ‘Freedom to the Electric Driver’. Together with a highly skilled, international team, you will help shape and execute the strategy to position Fastned as a top fast charging provider in Austria. You will assess market potential, identify growth opportunities, and build meaningful relationships with government and private sector stakeholders. Your responsibilities will include preparing and negotiating public tenders and creating commercial partnerships.
This position offers the chance to combine strategic thinking, business development, and networking with strong internal and external communication. You will collaborate with the commercial development and international public affairs teams to feed early opportunities into our pipeline. If you enjoy connecting with others, discovering new opportunities, and exploring innovative solutions, this could be the role for you!
Being successful in this role means implementing a comprehensive development plan for Austria while also being hands-on in creating concrete projects. You will set up a local Fastned organisation and build a team around you. Feeding in opportunities and contributing to our European pipeline of new locations is the main goal.
At Fastned we want you to ‘think like a founder’. We value your input, we expect you to think critically and take ownership. Part of this means generating and pitching ideas to develop our business offerings and ensuring support for these ideas within Fastned.
This role will be based in Austria, where you will become part of the Expansion team, a fun and diverse group of professionals spread across Europe. You will report directly to the Head of New Markets and work under the Network Development Director. You will collaborate closely with other teams across our different European locations, and you will get the unique chance to learn a lot about - and become part of our future-driven industry, where you can make a real impact!
