Founded in 2018, ev.energy set out with a clear mission: to make electric vehicle charging simpler, greener, and more affordable for everyone.

By downloading our app, drivers can easily charge their vehicles overnight while we work quietly in the background. Our smart-charging algorithm leverages real-time data to align charging sessions with energy from renewable sources. The grid is under increasing strain from EV charging at peak times - we're already working with over 40 utilities across North America and Europe to help them reduce this demand.

Our team, now over 100 strong, brings together expertise from National Grid, Tesla, Google, and Amazon among others. Backed by over $50 million in funding from top VCs including National Grid Partners, WEX Venture Capital, Energy Impact Partners, and JLR’s InMotion Ventures, we’re on a mission to drive meaningful change.

Join us in shaping a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable future.

The role

You’ll be integral in setting us up for success - establishing best practices, processes and ways of working as you craft compelling proposals. Your work will revolve around our core offerings for utilities across North America, responding to RFPs and RFIs and enabling us to do so at greater volumes and with more and more polish over the coming years.

What will you be doing?

  • Overseeing the entire process, working with various internal teams to craft content and monitor progress until final submissions are made

  • Championing our value proposition - evangelising our solution to clients and prospects

  • Collaborating with the wider Sales team to grasp client needs and requirements before tailoring proposals accordingly

  • Facilitating kickoff meetings for new proposals as and when needed, and managing the process including navigating approvals

  • Aligning with Product and Marketing to ensure cohesive messaging and strategy

  • Building an internal library of relevant proposal-related content and templates

What are we looking for?

  • Experience in proposal management with a similar company, with existing understanding of the industry we operate in

  • Demonstrated excellence in writing and editing, with great communication and project management skills

  • Ability to develop persuasive business cases, and the ability to build rapport with the wider sales team to understand client needs and feedback

  • Prior experience in a start-up - you're not a cog in the machine, you're helping to build the machine. You’ll know what good looks like and be able to set up the function for success as we scale.

How will we support you?

  • Work remotely and work well - we'll provide the tools you need to do your best (including a Macbook Pro), as well as access to co-working spaces

  • Access to conferences, meet-ups and training through our L&D allowance

  • A structured career progression framework and advancement opportunities

  • Depending on location - health insurance, 401(k) or pension, paid parental leave, life insurance

  • 25 days holiday plus public holidays

  • Annual team gatherings - in previous years the whole company has spent a week together in the UK

  • 100% charity matching to help spread good!

If you don’t have all of the requirements, but you’re really interested in what we’re doing - please apply anyway! We value applicants regardless of their background or years of experience. We'll also do our best to accommodate reasonable adjustments to the interview process if needed.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity: we do not discriminate based on race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status or disability status. If you'd like a copy of our DE&I policy you can reach us at hiring@ev.energy.
