Business Development Manager

Job Description

Join Zaptec and help expand our footprint in the Swiss EV market.

We combine the latest tech with human-centered design to offer highly intuitive and efficient EV chargers that ensure easier access to personal electric transport.

This gives people the freedom and potential to travel into a more sustainable future. How neat is that?

Within just a few years, we've built our domestic market-leading position by supplying superior charging installations for housing co-ops and private homes alike.

As a Norwegian EV pioneer, our goals are aimed at bringing the best charging technology to the rest of the world. Are you up for this challenge?

The transition to electric mobility is accelerating, and Zaptec is right at the center of it. As Switzerland continues to embrace EV charging at scale, we're looking for a Business Development Manager who will help expand Zaptec's presence and build the partnerships that drive this market forward.

In this role, you'll work across the Swiss EV ecosystem, identifying new opportunities, developing strong partnerships, and bringing Zaptec's charging solutions to more customers. From installers and wholesalers to utilities, real estate players and commercial customers, you'll play an important role in connecting the right partners with the right solutions.

You'll spend a lot of time out in the market, opening doors, building relationships and spotting opportunities as the industry evolves. At the same time, you'll bring valuable insights back to the team, helping shape how Zaptec continues to grow and adapt in the Swiss market.

Your day might include

• Driving the full sales cycle, from prospecting and proposals to negotiations and closing.
• Developing partnerships with installers, solution providers, platforms and other ecosystem players.
• Strengthening collaboration with distributors and supporting joint market activities.
• Gathering insights from customers and partners to support product and service development.
• Monitoring market developments and representing Zaptec at customer meetings and industry events.

You enjoy building relationships and spotting opportunities in a fast-moving market. Navigating the Swiss business landscape comes naturally to you, and you're motivated by helping a growing company expand its presence.

You may have experience from roles such as business development, key account management or B2B sales. What matters most is that you're proactive, commercially minded, and enjoy turning conversations and ideas into real partnerships.

Some personal skills we value

• Proactive and entrepreneurial, comfortable taking ownership and driving things forward.
• Relationship-oriented, with a natural ability to build trust and long-term partnerships.
• Curious and commercially minded, with an interest in how markets and technologies evolve.
• Structured and organized, able to manage opportunities and priorities effectively.
• A strong collaborator, working well with colleagues across teams and countries.

As for the skills required for this job

• Experience in Business Development, Key Account Management, or B2B sales.
• Experience from industries such as e-mobility, energy/utilities, electrical installation, building technology, or B2B SaaS/platform businesses.
• Strong sales, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Experience using CRM tools and standard business systems.
• Fluency in German and English (French is a plus).

We strive to be the best at what we do, both in the eyes of our customers and our coworkers. We believe in a flexible and trustworthy way of working. We focus on results, not necessarily the approach because we respect that each coworker has unique ways of working to reach the target. 🙌🏽

Customer experience is the core of everything we do to provide a worry-free EV life.

We believe in our employees' uniqueness and the multidisciplinary way of working, and we work collaboratively toward a common goal.

Zaptec's products and services are making a difference to EV drivers, as we provide EV owners the freedom to charge from home and explore new adventures. By joining our team, you are joining us in our mission to create a more sustainable and electrical future, providing user-oriented EV charging experiences.

Surround yourself with highly motivated fellow Zapiens who support one another to reach our common goal. At Zaptec, you will impact improving the EV journey globally.
