Together with 400+ colleagues from over 40 nationalities, spread across 10 countries, we drive change in the energy transition. What sets us apart is our focus on reliability, sustainability and clean energy. We have been awarded “Best Charging Network” in the UK, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands, further establishing Fastned as a leading player in the field.

About the role

As our Events Manager, you will be in the driver’s seat, developing our PR and communication strategy when it comes to external events and our own events. You will act as the expert overseeing event planning across the company, working closely with cross-functional departments such as Investor Relations, B2B, and Consumer Marketing. You will report directly to our Head of PR & Communications.

You will be part of the PR & Communications team, which plays a key role in shaping and sharing Fastned’s story — proactively creating campaigns, building our messaging framework, following the news cycle, and driving media attention through initiatives such as customer research. At the same time, you will serve as the key contact for our local PR Managers in the markets, working closely to establish Fastned’s brand positioning via events. In practice, this means you will be based in headquarters in Amsterdam, while also being flexible to travel and visit the other markets when necessary.

You will develop an event strategy covering a wide range of topics related to Fastned, the energy transition, and the charging industry for diverse audiences — supporting market PR managers in building and positioning Fastned as a thought leader in these markets. Alongside your work in the new markets, you will collaborate across departments to design an event strategy that includes both external industry events and Fastned’s own events.

• Oversee the company-wide external event strategy and create a toolkit for other departments on how and where to be present.

• Lead the planning and delivery of the different events ( in person, hybrid or virtual events) tailored to our different audiences: Media, Consumers, B2B, Governments etc.

• Collaborate with other departments such as: Investor & Relationships, Public Affairs, HR, and local market teams to ensure consistent messaging and brand alignment

• Monitor event performance, collect feedback, and provide post-event analysis and recommendations so we can learn for the next event.

• Establish a process for Fastned’s own controlled events, such as investor & relationship events, media events, Driver events and internal culture events.

What you bring:

In addition, you you bring:

• Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder management skills
