Director of Technology & Digital Platforms (f/m/x)

Your mission

IONITY is leading the high-power charging revolution across Europe. As the EV industry moves beyond early adoption toward mass-market scale, we are at a pivotal moment - one that demands innovation, speed, and vision. Originally created by a consortium of major OEMs to support electric vehicle rollout, IONITY is now transforming into a fully independent, technology-led player, extending our reach into new parts of the EV charging value chain: energy optimization, digital services, smart fleet solutions, and more. 
We already have a powerful foundation: our proprietary in-house CPO and MSP backend gives us unmatched flexibility to design and deploy new features rapidly and at scale. Whether it’s enhancing the charging experience, integrating with energy markets, or enabling seamless vehicle-to-charger interaction, we are positioned to lead through technology. 
We’re now looking for a Director of Technology and Platforms - a bold and visionary leader to guide this next chapter and make IONITY Europe’s most intelligent EV charging platform. This is more than a leadership role - it’s an opportunity to help shape the future of electric mobility across Europe. 

As Director of Technology & Digital Platforms, you will be the driving force behind IONITY’s transformation into a tech-first company. You will define and execute a modern technology roadmap that moves us beyond infrastructure and into an intelligent ecosystem of energy digital services, and customer-centric innovation. You will lead our technology function and serve as a key member of the executive team, working cross-functionally to align engineering, product, energy strategy, and digital experience into a cohesive and scalable tech platform.
