About Octopus Electroverse
We’re making electric vehicle ownership as smart and as simple as possible, by building the giant, virtual charging platform of the future. In four years, Octopus Electroverse has grown to become the largest consumer eMobility player in Europe, with over 1.2 million connected electric vehicle chargers and a customer ecosystem spanning web, iOS, Android, CarPlay, Android Auto and more.
But it’s just the start: we’re busy expanding internationally, working with more automotive and tech partners, building exciting new features at scale, and creating the integrated charging experiences of the future - all in the name of making public EV charging super simple for customers.
Electroverse is a multifunctional team made up of product, development, commercial, operations, marketing, partnerships and more - all focused together on making Octopus the go-to name in EV charging. And we’re looking for smart individuals with an interest in the space who can help us make it happen.
About The Role
We are hiring a Partnerships Manager to own and grow relationships with our Charge Point Operator (CPO) partners across Europe. This is a critical commercial role focused on both strategic account management and business development, ensuring Electroverse continues to deliver the best charging experience while expanding the breadth, depth, and quality of our network and relationship with partners.
You will be responsible for managing key CPO relationships, negotiating commercial agreements, identifying growth opportunities, and working cross-functionally to deliver value for our partners and customers.
This role is ideal for someone with direct experience in the eMobility ecosystem, particularly working with CPOs, eMSPs, roaming platforms, or adjacent EV infrastructure companies.
