As Consumer Strategy & Partnerships Manager you will shape the strategy of the consumer domain to pave the concrete path towards 100% renewable energy.

Who we are

At Vandebron, we're transforming the energy landscape, steering away from the conventional to champion sustainability. Born in 2014, our journey began with Chapter 1, disrupting the market with a transparent platform connecting consumers directly to local, green energy producers. Now, in Chapter 2, we are dedicated to ensuring 100% green energy availability, 100% of the time. Think smart solutions — flexible use of wind and solar farms, Smart EV Charging, and efficient energy storage.

No waiting around, we actively shape a sustainable future. Good energy, smart solutions — that's Vandebron.

Your impact

The Strategy & Business Development team is responsible for Vandebron’s sustainable growth strategy and community partnerships that are needed to reach our even greater ambitions. While the primary focus of the Consumer Strategy & Business Development team is successfully leading and converting new business strategies and collaborations in the world of leading (international) sustainable brands, the team is also an important liaison to the Producer side of Vandebron’s business.

As Consumer Strategy & Partnerships Manager you will bring clarity in what steps Vandebron needs to take to become a leading sustainable brand, and achieve its mission of 100% renewable energy in NL.

Vandebron’s mission is ambitious and inspiring but we do need a clear path to reach it. You will lead strategic projects and initiatives, gathering all input that is needed to align departments towards a crystal clear consumer strategy.

You will be the one crafting the roadmap towards the future and guidelines for these strategic partnerships.
