What Do We Do?

The shift to electric mobility is happening. Electra is accelerating it.

Transportation is one of Europe's biggest sources of carbon emissions. Since 2021, Electra exists to make charging so simple that electric vehicles become the obvious choice for everyone.

In 5 years, we've built a team of 300+ talents from 21 nationalities in 10 countries.

We’ve grown into one of Europe's leading fast-charging operators by deploying fast, reliable infrastructure and user experiences across our own network, and we’re now expanding to thousands more charging points in Europe with our new eMSP.

We’re backed by over €1 billion in funding, and we’re looking for passionate, collaborative talents to drive Europe’s energy transition with boldness and simplicity. If that sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you.

Your Mission

As Electra enables its leaders to deliver across Europe, our People Business Partnering model is evolving from geography-based scopes to a matrix model built around business growth stage.

Join us as Associate People Business Partner to:

• enable Team Leads across Electra to make the right day-to-day decisions so their teams deliver and thrive

• independently coach Team Leads and manage routine People topics across a transversal, international scope (9 countries)

• work closely with both Senior People Business Partners, bringing in the relevant Senior for complex cases, senior leadership decisions and vertical workforce planning

• identify patterns across teams and share practical insights that help Senior People Business Partners strengthen their respective verticals, and Talent Development to define develop and deploy used and useful solutions

• work closely with People Operations, who provide first-line support and own reliable employee processes, and Talent Acquisition who partner with leaders and managers on recruitment needs

Your Responsibilities

1) Strengthen leadership - 45%

The manager is responsible for making decisions and having conversations with their team.

You use data, business understanding and trusted relationships to help Team Leads build engaged, high-performing teams.

You independently coach managers through day-to-day People decisions while involving the relevant Senior People Business Partner when a topic affects a wider vertical or requires senior leadership alignment. This means:

• Understanding business priorities, performance challenges, capacity and ways of working so your guidance connects People decisions to delivery

• Coaching Team Leads to set clear expectations, give useful feedback, address performance concerns and lead change without taking accountability away from them

• Identifying risks and patterns across your transversal scope, challenging assumptions and sharing actionable insights with the relevant Senior People Business Partner

• Contributing team-level insights to vertical workforce planning, organisation decisions, engagement priorities and consistent pay or mobility decisions

• Knowing when to escape complex cases, senior leadership decisions or cross-vertical questions while remaining accountable for clear follow-through with the Team Lead

2) Contribute to, and deploy People Experience projects - 35%

• Contribute to key company-wide processes including performance cycles, promotions and mobilities, and salary increases, ensuring Team Leads are equipped and submissions are consistent and timely

• Help improve these processes by leveraging tools such as AI, frameworks such as Agile, user research and design thinking principles, and skills such as feedback

• Contribute practical insights from Team Leads and employees to help the wider People team design solutions that address root-cause challenges

• Deploy People projects to Team Leads, such as salary bands, the Career Map and leadership training, so our work is used, useful and easy to apply

• Strengthen and streamline collaboration across People Business Partnering, People Operations, Talent Acquisition, Learning and Office teams

3) Handle routine cases and elevate complex risks - 20%

• Coach and guide Team Leads through routine employee relations topics, such as feedback, early performance concerns, team tensions and straightforward changes, balancing business needs, employee experience and consistency

• Bring sharp legal reflexes: recognise when a situation requires deeper employment-law expertise and involve the relevant Senior People Business Partner
