NEW Business Developer DACH – eMobility (SaaS)

Bring charging brands in Germany, Austria and Switzerland onto our platform.

About Deftpower

We make EV charging less annoying. Drivers find a charger, pay with one app or card across Europe, and charge at moments that are easier on the grid.

You won't see our name on that app. You'll see ANWB's, or one of the other brands we power. We like it that way: we'd rather make it work than make it loud.

Three e-mobility experts founded Deftpower, and they still run it. You can walk up to any of them, or to anyone else, with a question. Most people tell us they learn more from their colleagues here than from any course.

We're 120+ people now, with the energy of a team of 30. We'll keep growing, just more deliberately than before.

About the job

The team. The Sales & Business Development team brings new brands onto the platform across Europe, from Berlin and Arnhem. It has sales managers and two business developers. You work most with Lucas, our Head of Sales, and with Account Management and Product.

Why now. Charge point operators and energy companies want to steer when drivers charge. Our CPO 2.0 programmes help them do that. They're becoming our second business. Leads already come in through our roaming network and the brands we power, and we need someone to turn them into live programmes.

What you do. You turn operators and energy companies into paying partners, with cashback, smart charging, flexibility and subscriptions. You own each partnership from first pitch to renewal. You decide which partners to go after first and how you shape each deal.

• Find and prioritise the partners who gain most from steering demand

• Build the business case, negotiate and close

• Agree a baseline before launch and hand over cleanly

• Grow pilots into network-wide programmes and own the renewals

  After six months. You've signed your first pilot with a charge point operator or grid operator, and the launch is on its way. Your pipeline is full of qualified partners.
  

  For you

  You get trust from day one. Contracts, roadmaps and numbers are open to you. You make the call, and you own it.

  You learn fast here. AI is part of every team's work, and feedback goes in every direction. Every quarter, we celebrate together at D-Day, the company day we work towards.

  It's not always tidy. We grew fast, and not everything is figured out yet. If that sounds like an opportunity, you'll fit right in.

    About you

    • You have 3+ years of experience in business development in e-mobility or energy, although attitude counts more than years

    • You know smart charging, flexibility or energy markets, or you'd like to learn

    • You work in English every day. We strongly prefer German as well
      

      This is for you if…

      ... you see a gap and plug it, without anyone having to ask.

      ... you say it when you disagree, and then you commit.

      ... change gives you energy. When plans shift, you shift with them.

      ... you share what you know and make your work visible.

      This is not for you if…

      ... you need a fixed plan before you start. Our plans change, and often.

      ... you wait for instructions.

      ... direct feedback feels personal to you.

      ... you want to work fully remote.
