Senior Business Development Manager (Built Environment) in London

We’re Pod – one of the UK’s leading EV charging providers, trusted by over 250,000 customers and powering more than 5 million miles every single day. But behind the numbers is a team of passionate people working together to shape a smarter, more sustainable future. We started off in 2009 as Pod Point, helping people make the switch to electric as EVs began to hit the road. Today, we’re leading the way into a smarter energy future.

You’ll lead and inspire a small team, drive growth across a high‑potential market, and shape how Pod partners with the UK’s leading homebuilders to deliver sustainable, future‑ready developments.

If you’re motivated by scaling partnerships that make a tangible impact on the transition to zero‑carbon living, this is the opportunity to own that mission and make it happen.
