Turnkey Solutions Lead Emea

**Turnkey Solutions Lead EMEA**:
In this role you will play an important part in advancing and implementing our Europe region product and services strategy. You will be essential in building a new end-to-end, turnkey electric vehicle charging solution for up-and-coming chargepoint operators (CPOs). This includes the charging hardware (all-in-one & split), software (CPMS, EMSP, service tools) and onsite related components to connect to the power grid. We consider moving to an all-in-one offering for CPOs as a natural evolution of our product portfolio. In this context, you will be responsible for steering requirements specifications derived from the needs of passenger and commercial vehicle charging operators. Moreover, you will be directly overseeing development of the required software elements (CPMS, EMSP, service portal) based on the feature sets demanded by our customers and best market practices. Consequently, this position covers a wide array of tasks, ranging from market and customer assessment, product requirements specification, understanding of EVCI software and hardware standards (ISO15118, OCPP), integrated solution development, project management, evolving the corresponding pricing approach and ultimately execution of the go-to-market. We are looking for someone who is excited to embark on a longer-term journey with ABB E-mobility.

- Deep understanding of software used by CPOs (backend CPMS, frontend platforms/apps/EMSP, payment systems) to enable supervision of developers and regular code reviews
- Experience with advanced modelling capabilities in e-mobility charging topics (from demand modelling and business case development to advanced analytics models for dynamic charger location selection)
- Strong consultant who thrives in conceptional tasks and who is comfortable working in a dynamic and uncertain environment, with direct exposure to top-level management
- Ability to grasp complicated matters fast and capability to break down and solve multi-facetted problems
