ChargeUp Europe & European Activities

Approximately 50% of working time will be dedicated to supporting the Chairman of the Board in a "sherpa" role within ChargeUp Europe in Brussels. The role requires regular travel, typically around five business days per month.

Responsibilities will include:

• Serving as the primary point of contact between the company and ChargeUp Europe.
• Supporting the Chairman of the Board in his role within the association by helping define agendas and ensuring he is fully briefed on key topics.
• Building and maintaining active working relationships with policy managers and representatives from member companies.
• Participating in bi-weekly Policy Committee meetings and ensuring the company’s views are represented across a broad range of policy topics.
• Coordinating internal expert input and contributing the company’s perspective to policy discussions.
• Participating in task forces and ad hoc working groups on specific policy issues.

• Supporting the Communications Committee and identifying opportunities for the company’s participation in external activities.
• Preparing policy briefings, position papers, speeches, presentations, and supporting materials.
• Participating in selected industry events in Brussels and other European locations.

Full knowledge of European regulatory processes is not required from day one. However, the successful candidate should be a quick learner, capable of working independently, and able to develop a strong understanding of both policy and business considerations.
