Join Fastned at the forefront of Europe's electric vehicle and charging infrastructure revolution! Together with 450+ colleagues from over 50 nationalities, spread across 10 countries, we drive change in the energy transition. A significant share of Fastned's most strategic fast-charging locations are secured through competitive tendering: concessions along national highways, partnerships with municipalities, and agreements with major mobility and real estate players. This is your opportunity to make a lasting impact!
We're looking for a Senior Tendering Manager to take full ownership of Fastned's most important bids and proposals; from initial qualification all the way through to final submission. As a central and experienced figure within the Tender team, you will lead mid-to-high-complexity tenders with precision and strategic clarity, collaborating closely with commercial, technical, legal, and finance teams to craft proposals that are fully compliant, competitively priced, and compellingly positioned to win. You will also serve as a natural point of reference for local execution leads and programme managers, sharing knowledge generously and helping the whole team grow together.

Proofread and format proposals to the highest standard of consistency and professionalism
Submission & Post-Submission Activities
Submit bids & proposals on time and in the correct format
Track proposal outcomes and maintain a lessons-learned repository to continuously improve
