The posting

About Electroverse - Octopus Fleet

We’re making electric vehicle public charging simple, by building the giant, virtual charging platform of the future. In just five years, Octopus Electroverse has become Europe’s largest eMobility charging network, with over 1.4 million connected electric vehicle chargers globally across over 79 countries. Octopus Fleet is a B2B offering, utilising the Electroverse platform to help businesses to switch their vehicle fleets to zero-emission transport. Electroverse is a cross-functional team of product, engineering, commercial, operations and marketing, working across the Electroverse app and Octopus Fleet all sharing a passion for shifting the industry towards EVs.

We’re expanding our Octopus Fleet Team and growing our presence across the Channel! As we rapidly scale our operations, we need a dedicated replacement to step up and drive our growing French market while bridging the gap with our UK operations. Are you ready to be our next sales superstar; a passionate and experienced bilingual business hunter experienced in electric vehicle charging, fuel cards, and all types of fleet solutions?

You will be the face and the voice of Octopus Fleet, advising and supporting customers throughout their journey towards transitioning to a sustainable electric vehicle fleet. Many of our customers operate large fleets and rely on us to guide them through a multi-year transition from fossil fuels to EV. A genuine passion for delivering awesome customer experiences and driving sustainability is a must, as well as a real commitment to building meaningful relationships and providing amazing customer service.

What you'll do

  • Develop and establish your sales pipeline with customers - from lead through to delivery, meeting (and hopefully exceeding) targets set
  • Shaping and driving the acquisition of new customers – you'll have the autonomy to generate your own leads, while also benefiting from shared leads across the wider Octopus group!
  • Manage your pipeline and take control, recording progress in our CRM system and keeping things all up to date
  • Manage your onboarded customers, account manage and upsell them for the first 6 months until they are settled in, before handing over to the Business Operations Team.
  • Recording customer satisfaction and best practice measures
  • Plan, attend and run customer launch events to spread the word of electric charging and electric vehicles and how we can help! (virtual and non virtual)
  • Provide excellent customer service both through the sales process and also in after-sales customer care
  • Work with the wider teams to iterate propositions and materials for the B2B market
  • Strategically build your pipeline working with the team to create strong relationships both internally within departments and externally with our customers both on a consumer and business level

What you'll need

  • At least 2 years of sales experience within a B2B environment
  • Working proficiency in French to support our French and UK customer base
  • Proven track record of excellent customer experience
  • Previous sales experience of sales within a B2B consultative environment and a strong passion for Electric Vehicles / Energy and Decarbonisation
  • Excellent listening skills when working in B2B roles and great communication
  • A ruthless focus on the customer with a genuine passion for going above and beyond for customers
  • An ability to show a completer finisher mentality and an understanding of processes as a whole being able to see the why behind each section of the business and how that creates the entire vision
  • A start up / entrepreneurial mind-set being able to adjust to change and keep up with a fast moving business
  • Knowledge of the car leasing and fleet market would be advantageous but not mandatory

Why else you'll love it here

• Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
