About Plugit


Plugit is a pioneer in electric mobility and one of the few truly end-to-end charging providers on the market, seamlessly connecting private depot and property charging with our own public charging network. We deliver everything on a turnkey basis, from single charging points to large-scale charging yards and charging as a service, and we take full responsibility for performance throughout the entire lifecycle. Our platform helps customers plan their energy use and charging costs in advance, so the switch to electric fleets makes sense operationally as well as financially.

We are entering the next phase of growth. Our public charging business is expanding in Finland, our presence in Sweden is developing, and the market continues to consolidate. We are therefore looking for a commercially driven leader who can turn strong technical foundations, rich data and a growing network into an even stronger customer proposition and profitable business.


Your role


As Head of CPO, you will have P/L responsibility for Plugit’s public charging network. You will lead the business with a clear focus on utilisation, customer growth, loyalty, location-level profitability and scalable expansion. The business is expected to grow rapidly, and you will play a central role in shaping its commercial direction in Finland and Sweden, over time, across the Nordics.


This leadership role combines an entrepreneurial mindset, strategic thinking and hands-on execution. You will shape strategy, develop business cases and engage with management while working directly with customers, partners and your team at charging sites. Using data and insight, you will identify performance drivers, decide where to invest, improve or exit, and translate those decisions into targeted commercial action.


You will report to the COO and lead a small, highly engaged team. You will work closely with commercial, marketing, technology, operations and country teams, as well as external partners and Plugit’s owners.


Your key responsibilities include:


• Owning the CPO business, its P&L, growth plan and location-level profitability

• Increasing network utilisation, active users, charging frequency and customer loyalty

• Developing the commercial proposition for both consumer and professional transport customers

• Turning customer, operational and site data into prioritised actions and measurable results

• Leading pricing, campaigns, partnerships and other initiatives that increase traffic and revenue

• Building stronger B2B customer relationships, framework agreements and recurring charging volumes together with the commercial organisation

• Continuously optimising the network portfolio, including new sites, underperforming locations and investment priorities

• Strengthening Plugit’s visibility and market position together with the marketing team and external partners

• Leading, coaching and inspiring the CPO team, while working actively across the organisation


What we are looking for


More than industry experience, we value a deep understanding of customers and a clear focus on profitability. You challenge established practices constructively, bring fresh perspectives and turn customer insight into profitable business opportunities. As a thought leader, you question assumptions, offer a clear point of view and inspire new ways of thinking about customer value and commercial success.


Ideally, you bring:


  • A strong track record of owning and growing a commercial business, business line, customer proposition or network
  • Experience in customer acquisition, loyalty, utilisation, conversion or recurring revenue development
  • Sound P&L understanding and the ability to improve profitability through data, prioritisation and disciplined execution
  • Experience from both B2C and B2B contexts, or clear capability to operate credibly across both
  • The ability to lead through insight and analysis while staying close to customers and day-to-day operations
  • Experience in working effectively across marketing, sales, operations and technology
  • A growth mindset and interest in emerging markets, new business models and international expansion
  • Fluent English. Finnish or Swedish is an advantage, but not a requirement


What will help you succeed?


You are commercially ambitious, curious and action oriented. You do not wait for perfect conditions, but form a view, test ideas and move the business forward. You are equally comfortable presenting a strategic recommendation and visiting a charging site to understand why it is not performing.


You challenge established thinking constructively and bring perspectives from outside the traditional energy and charging industry. You understand that in public charging, technical quality alone is not enough: customers also need a compelling reason to choose Plugit and return. You communicate with energy and credibility, take ownership and create momentum around you.


Why join us?


  • A visible and influential leadership role in Plugit’s core growth business
  • A strong platform to build on: extensive data, established systems, operational expertise and an integrated charging offering
  • A market with significant long-term growth potential in passenger and professional transport
  • A low-hierarchy, entrepreneurial environment where well-founded decisions can be made quickly
  • The opportunity to shape Plugit’s Nordic growth, portfolio development and future acquisitions
  • Support from an experienced leadership team and a leading international owner


The preferred location is Pirkkala, where the team is based. We are also open to candidates based elsewhere in Finland or Sweden, if you are able to work regularly with the team in Pirkkala and travel as the role requires.
