Senior Expansion Manager (m/f/d) for Site Acquisition in Leipzig

Realize the mobility of tomorrow with Fastned!

We want to strengthen our expansion team for the Eastern Region around Leipzig.

Mobility is undergoing fundamental change. Electric vehicles are becoming commonplace, new technologies are developing rapidly, and the demand for powerful charging infrastructure is growing. As a company for ultra-fast charging, Fastned is actively shaping this development.

As a pioneer in the field of fast-charging infrastructure, we aim to build a Europe-wide network of over 1,000 fast-charging stations by 2030.

To achieve this, more than 500 colleagues from over 50 nations in ten countries work together. At Fastned, you'll meet people from a wide range of professional fields and cultures who share a common mission: We want to accelerate the mobility transition and make electromobility more accessible to everyone.

A job at the intersection of real estate, innovative technology, and sustainability

As a Senior Expansion Manager, you will help decide where the next generation of our fast-charging stations will be built. You will identify attractive locations in your region, approach owners, project developers, companies, and municipalities, and develop long-term partnerships from these interactions.

You will work in an innovative and rapidly growing industry where the market, technology, and legal frameworks are constantly evolving. You will combine your real estate and negotiation skills with a concrete contribution to sustainable mobility.

Your work has visible results: Your analyses, conversations, and negotiations lead to new fast-charging stations that are used daily by people throughout Germany and Europe.

You will take responsibility for your projects while working closely with our teams from architecture, legal, construction, and operations. Together, you will develop solutions, share knowledge, and bring new ideas to implementation.

Furthermore, we want to build a small team in your region, which offers you the opportunity to take responsibility for more junior team members.

At Fastned, you have the opportunity to work in a company that doesn't wait for established standards but actively shapes them. Electromobility and fast-charging infrastructure are new to you? No problem. We will support you with comprehensive onboarding and relevant workshops.

What you bring to the table

• You have at least 6 years of relevant professional experience, ideally in commercial real estate, site acquisition, or project development.

• You have practical experience in acquiring sites or real estate and in building relationships with owners, project developers, companies, or municipalities.

• You are experienced in preparing and conducting negotiations, ideally in connection with lease, rental, or purchase agreements.

• You have a fundamental understanding of how real estate and sites are valued. This includes, for example, location, visibility, accessibility, transport links, economic attractiveness, and general feasibility.

• You can analyze relevant information in a structured manner and derive a well-founded assessment or recommendation. Experience with map, CRM, or analysis tools is a plus.

• You are open to approaching people, communicate confidently, and enjoy working with various internal and external partners.

• You work independently, in a structured, and solution-oriented manner, and actively drive your projects forward.

• You have very good German and good English language skills.

• You are willing to visit the German team in Cologne once a month, travel regularly within Germany, and also look forward to occasional visits to our headquarters in Amsterdam.

You don't need to be an expert in electromobility or technical real estate valuation. What's important is that you have relevant experience in site acquisition, understand economic and practical contexts, and are eager to learn new topics.

We are looking for experienced profiles at Senior Level. What's crucial for us is not only what you have done, but above all, whether you want to shape things, take responsibility, and move something forward together with others.
