Expansion Manager

My client, one of the leading Charge Point Operators (CPOs) in Europe, is looking to add an Expansion Manager to their growing team. In this role, you will play a key part in identifying and securing new locations to support the continued rollout of fast-charging infrastructure across Germany.

Responsibilities

• Lead the full lifecycle of land acquisition — from identifying and evaluating suitable locations to negotiating and finalizing lease agreements.
• Approach and engage commercial, private, and municipal property owners to secure cooperation for future projects.
• Conduct thorough analyses of potential sites, including market conditions and location-specific factors, to assess long-term value and feasibility.
• Establish and maintain a strong network of local stakeholders, including property owners, real estate professionals, and municipal representatives.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams to ensure seamless project handover and execution.
• Take full ownership of your designated region, working independently and strategically while being backed by a supportive team culture.

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of experience in a comparable role, with a strong focus on site acquisition, location development, or real estate expansion.
• Proven track record of successful negotiations and long-term lease agreements.
• Strong knowledge of regional real estate markets and an established network in the property industry is a clear advantage.
• Native-level proficiency in German and fluent English, both written and spoken.
• High level of initiative, analytical thinking, and the ability to work independently.
• Willingness to travel regularly within the assigned region and occasionally to the company’s headquarters.
• Interest in future mobility solutions — previous experience in electromobility or fast-charging infrastructure is welcome, but not required. Comprehensive onboarding and training will be provided.
