Job Description

What we do. Electric Car Leasing


Why we do it. Greener. Fairer. Future.


We are launching an EV (electric vehicle) leasing business in Germany and need an outstanding General Manager to lead it.


We have rapidly scaled our proposition in the UK to nearly 30k vehicles on fleet and £300m ARR in just a few years. What’s more, we’re growing faster than ever.


We have strong, well thought out reasoning to suggest that our core model is repeatable in the German market - you will launch and scale this for us.


You’ll be expected to demonstrate significant autonomy in devising and executing a go to market plan that meets the needs of your market, whilst learning from what has made Octopus EV so successful in the UK.


Whilst support from our leadership team and central functions will be provided, most areas of growth (sales, marketing, pricing) will be largely autonomous, making this an exciting opportunity for someone wishing to build a significant, high impact company from scratch.


Our mission is to rapidly accelerate the EV transition whilst providing the best possible service to our customers.

Our ambition is to rapidly build the biggest EV platform in Germany as rapidly as possible.

Purpose of the role: Launch and then lead the Octopus EV business in Germany.
