About Hypervolt Limited

Hypervolt is one of the UK’s fastest-growing EV charging companies, providing intelligent, beautifully designed home and commercial charging solutions. We are expanding our footprint globally, beginning with the United States — a key strategic market for our next phase of growth.

Our mission is to make electric vehicle charging effortless, sustainable, and accessible for everyone. By combining cutting-edge technology, an exceptional user experience, and seamless integration with smart energy systems, we’re helping accelerate the transition to clean transport worldwide.

The Opportunity

As Hypervolt’s first hire in the United States, you will be the boots on the ground responsible for establishing and scaling our commercial presence from scratch. You’ll play a critical role in launching our U.S. operations — building partnerships, driving sales, and creating the foundation for sustainable growth.

This is a unique opportunity to join a proven, high-growth EV brand and shape its entry into one of the most exciting energy markets in the world.

Key Responsibilities

1. Market Development & Go-To-Market Execution

  • Develop and execute Hypervolt’s U.S. market entry strategy, with an initial focus on the Bay Area and West Coast.
  • Build a robust pipeline of commercial opportunities across installer networks, wholesalers, distributors, and energy companies.
  • Identify and engage with key industry partners — from utilities to hardware resellers — to accelerate product distribution and awareness.
  • Represent Hypervolt at industry events, trade shows, and networking forums as the face of the brand in the U.S.

2. Business Development & Sales

  • Carry and exceed an individual sales quota, managing the full sales cycle from prospecting through to deal closure.
  • Develop and manage relationships with wholesale distributors, installation partners, and large energy ecosystem players.
  • Negotiate commercial agreements and ensure partner alignment with Hypervolt’s brand, pricing, and service standards.
  • Provide market feedback to UK HQ on product, pricing, and competitive landscape.

3. Operations & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate with the UK HQ on logistics, marketing, product localization, and customer service infrastructure.
  • Provide hands-on support in early operational functions — including customer support, order fulfillment, and installation coordination — to ensure a best-in-class customer experience.
  • Build out the foundational U.S. commercial and operational playbook to scale future hiring.
About You
  • Proven track record in business development, sales, or partnerships within EV charging, energy, utilities, or electrical distribution.
  • Strong understanding of the U.S. installer and wholesale ecosystem for energy and electrical products.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset — you thrive in ambiguity, can operate independently, and enjoy building new markets from zero.
  • Excellent relationship-builder with strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills.
  • Experience working with or selling through trade distribution channels (installers, wholesalers, or OEMs).
  • Comfortable working in a cross-functional, international environment, aligning closely with HQ support functions in the UK.
  • Passionate about sustainability, clean energy, and EV technology.
What We Offer
  • Opportunity to launch and lead the U.S. expansion of a top-tier UK EV brand.
  • Competitive base salary with strong commission potential.
  • Autonomy and influence in shaping our North American commercial strategy.
  • Support and resources from the UK HQ team in marketing, product, and operations.
  • A fast-paced, mission-driven culture that rewards initiative and results.
