Join a fast-growing company with a purpose! At Fastned you will actively contribute to accelerating the transition to electric mobility. Together with over 250 colleagues (more than 40 nationalities) across 9+ countries, we have big plans: we are building a Europe-wide network of 1,000 beautiful fast-charging stations where electric drivers can charge their cars with energy from the sun and wind. We have recently been voted best charging network in the UK, France and the Netherlands, a testimony to our drive to offer the best charging experience to EV drivers! Your role Fastned is at a defining stage of its growth, where we are embarking on another round of steep organisational and business growth. Our organisation has doubled in less than two years to over 250 FTE and is expected to continue to grow rapidly. The network of charging stations is expanding fast, entering new countries such as Italy and Spain. To enable this growth we need a seasoned leader that can help guide our business to the next level of organisational maturity. We are looking for a highly driven and empathic person to join our management board as Chief Operating Officer . Fastned's ambition is for at least 30% of the Management Board, Supervisory Board (SB), and Fastned Shareholders Foundation Board (FAST) to identify as a woman. The SB and FAST board already meet the internal guidelines. We have a strong desire to hire a COO identifying as a woman into the Management Board, as we truly believe in the value of having a balanced composition in our management.While we welcome applications from individuals of all genders, in instances of equal suitability, preference will be given to female candidates as part of our commitment to promoting gender equity within our organization. Within the board you will be the person to take responsibility for overseeing leaders from Operations, Construction, Location Design, and People Teams as well as partnering with local Country Managers to oversee smooth processes across Fastned operating countries. On top of that you will be the operational expert who will elevate our teams, processes and structures to succeed in driving quality, efficiency, effectiveness, and predictability across Fastned. Your impact will be crucial for Fastned to keep scaling and continue to deliver on its mission to provide freedom to electric drivers. Your scope of responsibilities includes Representing Fastned and driving our mission as part of a three person board together with the CEO and CFO. Overseeing teams with big operational & people components. Leading our Country Managers: the local representatives of Fastned, driving our progress and teams across EU countries. Taking our organization to the next level: enabling the scaling of Fastned and driving organizational maturity through setup and optimization of processes (supported by KPI structures), quality improvement, and great people management. Bringing people and processes together, connecting dots on the way to our goal of 1000 stations. In the Fastned context, this includes making sure we smoothly move from winning a tender to planning and executing the build, taking care of the maintenance and running the day to day operation of the charging stations in the most efficient way. Ensuring consistent high quality in growing and operating our charging network. Great people management with an eye on the right talent in the right structure.
