Business Development Manager

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.
