Business Developer - Oporto

Powerdot started with the vision that charging your car should be as easy as charging your smartphone. And so for that to happen chargers need to be available where people naturally spend their days. To bring this vision to life and accelerate it as fast as possible we have recently secured 150M from Antin Infrastructure Partners one of the worlds largest investment funds.

Our Mission is as simple as ambitious Accelerate Sustainable Mobility. And we do it by investing installing and operating EV chargers with an innovative business model akin to an Infra and Tech scaleup. So in a nutshell we help businesses find the right charging solution that fits their customers needs and today weve joined forces with more than 1200 partners across Portugal Spain France Belgium Luxembourg and Poland where we have more than 2200 contracted locations.

Our Values: We are partner obsessed and create bespoke solutions to better serve their customers. We love the challenge of making EV charging simpler readily available and integrated with varied retail and service experiences.

Finally we are all about growing our network partner businesses teams professional development but mostly the EV ecosystem. So that sustainable mobility becomes a reality for all as fast as possible.

At the end of the day we believe that everything we are and all we want to be is and will be due to our Team composed by a collective of creative thinkers and doers with backgrounds from McKinsey UBS Investment Banking Oliver Wyman or Burger King to people responsible for scaling Uber Glovo and Lime at their earliest stages. We welcome empowered top performers that apart from sharing our mission and our values want to bring disruptive ways of thinking and become part of this amazing journey!
