Charging your car should feel as natural as charging your phone. That's the future we're building: a network of EV chargers where life happens. We don't just install chargers.
We accelerate sustainable mobility. We obsess over partnerships. We grow relentlessly: our network, our partners, ourselves. If you're here, you're probably not looking for "just a job." Neither are we. We're driven by impact, and always looking for people who thrive on turning bold ideas into reality. If that sounds like you, you'll feel at home here. We're looking for people who see challenges as puzzles, not problems, thrive in fast-growing, high-energy environments, and want to shape the future of mobility, not just watch it unfold.
At Powerdot, you'll get freedom, ownership, and responsibility. The space to experiment. The chance to scale your ideas. And a team that's always pushing the edge of what's possible.

Why This Role, Why Now:
Powerdot has spent the last seven years building one of Europe's leading EV charging networks: 12,500+ charging points live, 20,000+ contracted, across Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium and Poland. We've moved through the land-grab, the roll-out, and the quality eras.
That shift needs a voice. We're looking for a Head of Communications to own how Powerdot tells its story, to the market and to our own team. You'll report directly to the CEO and be the person who turns what we do into a narrative that partners, investors, media, talent and our own people actually feel. This is a build role for someone who wants to shape a category leader's reputation from the inside.
How You'll Shape Our Story:
You'll own communications end to end (external and internal) and translate Powerdot's strategy into a story people remember.
- Own the narrative: Define and lead Powerdot's communications strategy across all markets, in lockstep with the CEO and the leadership team.
- External comms / PR: Lead our press and media relations across markets. Build relationships with top-tier journalists, shape the editorial agenda, land the stories that matter, and manage our agency partners in every country to a high bar.
- External comms / Social: Own Powerdot's social presence and tone of voice. Turn our scale, our partnerships and our performance into content that builds reputation and pulls in talent, partners and drivers.
- Internal comms: Design and run how we communicate with our own team across five markets, from company-wide updates to CEO messaging to the rituals that keep a fast-growing, distributed company aligned and energised.
- Storytelling: Be the person who can take a complex, technical, operational business and make it land simply and memorably, in a press release, a LinkedIn post, an internal all-hands or an investor narrative.
- Manage and grow the team: Lead one direct report and orchestrate a network of agencies across all markets, setting the brief, holding the quality bar, and making sure every market tells one coherent Powerdot story.
- Protect the brand: Own messaging consistency and reputation management, and be ready to lead communications when the stakes are high.
- Measure what matters: Bring rigor to comms, share of voice, reach, sentiment, and the link between our story and our commercial and talent goals.
This Is About You, Not Us :
- 10+ years in communications, with a blend of PR, social media and internal comms, ideally a mix of agency and in-house, in a scale-up, tech or high-growth environment
- A genuine storyteller, you can prove it with work that shifted perception, not just activity.
- Hands-on experience running PR and media relations, and managing agencies across multiple markets.
- Track record building or running internal communications for a distributed team.
- Comfortable operating directly with a CEO and leadership team, and translating strategy into message.
- Fluency in English; Portuguese is a strong plus. Any additional market language (Spanish, French, Polish) is a bonus.
- Player-coach mindset: senior enough to set strategy, hands-on enough to write the post yourself.
The Kind of Energy We're Looking For:
- We're not into titles, egos, or corporate buzzwords. We're into people who make things happen.
- You lead and listen. Whether you're steering the ship or rowing alongside the crew, you bring others with you and keep communication wide open.
- You own your stuff. You don't wait for instructions: you see an opportunity, grab it, and make it better than anyone expected.
- You've got a green heartbeat. Sustainability isn't just cool, it's core. You care about doing work that leaves the world a little better than you found it.
You balance hustle with humanity. You love the buzz of in-person teamwork, but you also know when to recharge (pun totally intended - ).
- You grow on purpose. You're hungry to learn, to stretch, and to build something meaningful, not just rack up LinkedIn bullet points.
