Commercial Director – EV Charging & Energy Infrastructure

UK | Hybrid


A growing EV charging and energy infrastructure business is looking to bring in a senior commercial leader to help shape its next phase of growth.


The business has already built a presence in the market and is now looking to accelerate customer acquisition, develop larger strategic partnerships and strengthen its commercial proposition across the UK.


This is not a role focused purely on managing an existing sales team. The successful person will be expected to play a visible role in the market, open doors with key customers, influence commercial strategy and help build the structure needed to support further growth.


What you’ll be doing

You’ll take a lead role across the commercial side of the business, working closely with the leadership team on where and how the company grows.

Your remit will include:

  • developing and executing the commercial growth plan
  • identifying new markets, customers and revenue opportunities
  • building relationships with major fleet, property, infrastructure and commercial customers
  • developing strategic partnerships and routes to market
  • leading major bids, tenders and commercial negotiations
  • improving pipeline quality, forecasting and sales discipline
  • shaping pricing and commercial propositions
  • supporting market expansion across the UK and, longer term, Europe
  • building and developing the commercial team as the business scales
  • working closely with delivery, operations, product and technical teams


Who this could suit

This could be a good fit for someone currently operating as a:

Commercial Director | Sales Director | Business Development Director | VP Sales | Head of Sales | Head of Business Development


You will likely have experience within one or more of the following:

  • EV charging
  • e-mobility
  • energy infrastructure
  • distributed energy
  • electrical infrastructure
  • fleet electrification
  • charging technology


We are particularly interested in people who have worked in environments where they have had to create growth rather than simply manage it.


That could mean opening new markets, building new channels, winning strategic accounts or developing a commercial function from an earlier stage.


What will make someone stand out

  • Strong network across EV charging or wider energy infrastructure
  • Proven success winning complex B2B contracts
  • Experience dealing with senior stakeholders
  • Strong commercial judgement and negotiation skills
  • Ability to balance strategy with hands-on sales activity
  • Experience leading and developing commercial teams
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving business where priorities can evolve quickly


The opportunity

This is a chance to join a business at a point where the commercial strategy is still being shaped.


There is room for the successful person to have a genuine say in:

  • which markets the business prioritises
  • how the sales team is structured
  • which partnerships are developed
  • how key accounts are approached
  • how the business expands geographically


For someone who enjoys building and shaping rather than stepping into a finished structure, it offers a broad remit and a high level of influence.
