at IONITY

🏢 About IONITY

IONITY is revolutionizing long-distance electric vehicle travel by building Europe's leading high-power charging network, making sustainable journeys enjoyable and accessible. Working here means contributing directly to the EV infrastructure transition while collaborating with major automotive brands like BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen who jointly own the company.

About This Role

This junior Product Manager role provides hands-on support across the entire product lifecycle at IONITY, from discovery activities like customer interviews and data analysis to execution support with cross-functional teams. You'll help shape the charging experience for EV drivers while learning from experienced Product Managers in a remote-first environment focused on sustainable mobility.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve analyzing charging session data to identify usage patterns, preparing user stories for an upcoming feature, collaborating with IT on technical dependencies, and joining a product health review to discuss customer feedback. You'll split time between supporting discovery activities, coordinating with cross-functional teams, and contributing to operational improvements across IONITY's product portfolio.
