Born in 2021 from the desire to make cities less polluted and quieter, Electra is helping to shift usage towards electric mobility by tackling the main barrier: charging.
Electra is constantly innovating to make electric vehicle charging easier, with a network of fast charging stations (20 minutes on average) and a maximally simplified user experience.
Based in Paris, Lyon, Bordeau, Nantes, Brussels, Madrid, Zurich, Vienna, Munich, Milan and Amsterdam, Electra's teams aim to deploy a network of 15,000 fast charging points by 2030, proud to contribute to the energy transition in Europe.
In 4 years, we have:
Deployed 400 stations and over 2000 fast-charging points
Secured thousands of stations to establish Electra as a leader in the European market
Opened several offices in France and Europe
Raised over €750 million in equity and debt financing from renowned investors and institutions
Joined the French Tech Next 40 and won the European Scale-up of the Year 2024 award
Assembled a team of over 240 talents… and this is just the beginning !
In 2023, we opened Electra's Swiss office. We are now looking to expand our team and recruit motivated and driven individuals to set up 100+ fast-charging stations by the end of 2026.
As a Business Developer, you will be responsible for prospecting and building partnerships with property owners of hotels, restaurants, operators of underground garages, cinemas, etc., to develop Electra's fast-charging network in Switzerland. Your main challenge is opening as many doors as possible to convert deals and map out the best locations in Switzerland.
Under the responsibility of the Country Manager, you will liaise with all Electra teams (finance, operations, product, development, legal) to identify the best synergies with our partners and the most suitable locations for ultra-fast charging.
