London, Greater London, United Kingdom Octopus Energy Full time

What we do. Electric Car Leasing

Why we do it. Greener. Fairer. Future.

We're on the hunt for a new Partnerships Development Manager to join our growing Partnerships team

You will develop long-term partner relationships with a diverse set of companies that bring on board significant volumes of high-quality customers and build brand equity for Octopus Electric Vehicles.

You will be the face and the voice of Octopus Electric Vehicles across a wider range of sectors, including the financial services and/or automotive spaces, championing what we do and why we do it.

A dedication to improving the B2B partner experience is a must along with expertise in relationship building and a commercial mindset.

What you'll do...
  • Develop the partner channel strategy for your assigned vertical in the context of our business goals (e.g. benefits providers, banks, OEMs, consultancies in the fleet and energy space etc.)
  • Identify the right long-term, mission aligned relationships, as well as build and establish the partner pipeline in collaboration with our other Partnerships Manager and the Customer Success and Partnerships Manager
  • A mix of phone and face to face meetings will be needed, including attending conferences and running networking events for partners
  • Manage your pipeline - both winning new business and managing it in life, recording progress in our CRM, and reporting on progress into the wider business
  • Manage the high level partner relationship to ensure we maximise output and maintain the best customer experience, including hosting quarterly business reviews and sharing monthly operational reports to partners
  • Generating quarterly commission statements for partners to feedback on their progress
  • Attend strategic events to spread the word of electric vehicles and how we can help
  • Internal stakeholder management is just as important as external in this role; you will be working alongside Product and Marketing teams on channel and partner needs closely
  • Work with the wider teams to iterate propositions and materials for the B2B and growing B2C market with a view of developing partnerships in this area
What you'll need...
  • Previous success in prospecting, engaging, and negotiating new partnerships and new partnership models
  • Ability to successfully negotiate and assess what makes a good commercial partnership
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to tailor communication style to achieve maximum impact upon relevant situations and audience
  • Ability to work autonomously, and be creative
  • Experience of managing the full partner or account life cycle is preferable but not mandatory e.g. finding and developing the relationship, managing it through to set up, implementing it within our business and account managing ongoing performance
  • Experience in designing CVPs and bringing teams together
  • Experience in working with legal teams to design contracts, including multi year deals, to ensure relationships are documented and binding; whilst important, this is a nice to have, and we can provide training in this area
  • Very comfortable working with ambiguity and able to adopt a flexible approach to completing tasks and managing a work plan
  • A ruthless focus on the customer with a genuine passion for going above and beyond
  • Passion for why we do what we do; decarbonising energy and transport
  • Having existing relevant relationships in automotive, sustainability or finance sectors would be beneficial but not essential
  • Knowledge of employee benefits and/or car leasing would be beneficial but again, not essential
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

This is the chance to join one of the UK's most exciting start-ups – making it easy for individuals and businesses to go electric by getting their car, charger and energy all in one cracking deal.
