• Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Serve as the central point of contact to guarantee that our blueprints comply with relevant regulations in each market where Fastned operates.

• Supplier Management: Streamline relationships with current and future suppliers, acting as the main point of contact to ensure consistent quality and execution across all builds.
