Business Development Manager

At Maxem we are searching for an experienced Business Development Manager who wants to make an impact in a fast-paced international environment.

With your proactive approach you identify new opportunities within current relationships and drive sustainable growth.

Do you want to play a part in the energy transition?

Maxem is an Amsterdam-based company and our mission is working together towards a zero emission future, as we are dedicated to building a world wherein we can be proud of the heritage we leave behind for our future generations. We are an innovative company and in order to meet our mission we have developed our own platform called the Maxem Energy Cloud. This all-in-one platform connects and manages electrical vehicle (EV) charging stations, (stationary) batteries and solar energy in order to optimize energy usage. It also addresses limitations in grid connections that can hinder the electrification of a company’s car park, thereby enabling more businesses to transition to a fully electric fleet.
