• Build and maintain strong relationships with key customers (especially hyperscale/datacenter customers) and strategic suppliers.
• Drive market intelligence: deep understanding of customer needs, market trends, technology developments, and regulatory landscape.
• Continuously monitor and analyze the competitive landscape (ultracapacitors, lithium-ion, flywheels, alternative technologies).
• Collaborate closely with R&D, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Operations to align roadmap with technical feasibility, manufacturing scale-up, and commercial goals.
• Represent Skeleton Technologies externally at industry conferences, customer meetings, and partner negotiations.

• Deep customer-facing experience, ideally with Tier-1 OEMs or hyperscale/datacenter customers.
• Strong technical foundation combined with commercial acumen and strategic thinking.
• Experience in building and leading high-performing cross-functional teams.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills (fluent English required; German, Finnish or Estonian is a plus).
• Willingness to travel (20-30%).

Preferred Additional Qualifications

• Experience in ultracapacitors, supercapacitors, or hybrid energy storage systems.
• Background in datacenter power infrastructure or high-power applications.
• Previous success in scaling products in fast-growing, capital-intensive industries.

Benefits

• We offer flexible working hours, with the possibility of mobile working without core working hours and sufficient freedom for your own ideas.
