Senior Finance Project Manager

Fastned exists because twelve years ago, driving an electric car across Europe meant planning your route around whether you would make it. We have spent since 2012 building the answer: a fast-charging network you can actually rely on, running entirely on solar and wind. More than 400 stations across nine countries now, on our way to 1,000 by 2030. Every one of them is a bet that clean energy wins on the commercial case as well as the moral one, and so far the bet is paying off. Building that network takes more than construction. It takes the teams behind it, and those teams are being built right now, which means you would have a hand in deciding how the work gets done rather than stepping into something already settled. Charging stations do not get built without someone financing them. As Senior Finance Project Manager you will lead the projects that pay for Fastned's growth, starting with a structured finance and bank financing re-tender in the Netherlands that reaches into construction, network development, public affairs and every corner of Finance. You will run the steering committee, bring the right people into the room, and keep something this size moving. This is a role for someone who is energised rather than daunted by that, and who would rather make complex work happen than be the specialist inside it.
