Om tjänsten

We are seeking an experienced commercial leader to head Nel's European commercial organisation. Reporting to the Chief Commercial

Officer, the VP Europe Sales will drive order intake, customer relationships and market development across Nel's four European

sales regions: Western, Northern, Central and Southern Europe.

Location: Flexible within Europe. The role requires extensive travel across European markets.

YOUR NEW ROLE

This is a new, hands-on leadership position for someone who combines commercial drive with genuine enthusiasm for the technology

being sold. Europe is home to many of the world's most advanced renewable hydrogen projects, and the role puts senior commercial

leadership close to Nel's customers and partners.

The successful candidate will lead the regional teams and work closely with the CCO, Technology, Operations, Legal and Finance to

convert a strong pipeline of FEED studies and project opportunities into firm orders, as Nel brings its next-generation

electrolyser technology to market.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

In this role, you will:

  • Develop and execute Nel's commercial strategy for Europe, with clear priorities by region, segment, application and customer

group.

Build and manage a qualified pipeline and deliver on targets for order intake, margin and market position.
  • Lead the pursuit of large, complex projects involving customers, investors, EPC contractors, regulators and public funding

bodies.

  • Lead, coach and develop the regional teams, establishing a common way of working, clear accountabilities and a strong

performance culture.

  • Raise the quality of tenders through disciplined bid management, pricing, risk assessment, contract negotiation and accurate

forecasting.

  • Translate EU and national regulation, subsidy schemes and funding instruments into commercial opportunities, and represent Nel

in relevant industry and policy forums.

  • Channel customer and market insight into Nel's technology development and support the European launch of next-generation

platforms.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

The ideal candidate combines senior commercial leadership with strong technology fluency and a pan-European track record. Relevant

experience may come from hydrogen, the wider energy transition, EPC and complex project sales, industrial gases or complex capital

equipment.

YOU BRING WITH YOU:

Around 15 years or more of commercial experience, including substantial senior leadership roles.
A track record of leading commercial activities across several European markets.
  • Proven success in long-cycle, capital-intensive project sales and complex tenders, including bid strategy, pricing and contract

negotiation.

Solid understanding of European regulatory frameworks, subsidy schemes and energy transition drivers.
Experience building and leading commercial teams across countries and cultures, ideally in a build-up phase.
Genuine interest in technology and the ability to engage credibly with engineers and customers on technical solutions.
  • An established network among industrial customers, energy companies, project developers, EPC contractors and investors in

Europe.

Experience with structured commercial processes, including CRM, pipeline management and forecasting.
Willingness to travel extensively across Europe.

Direct hydrogen experience would be valuable but is not an absolute requirement.

LEADERSHIP STYLE

We are looking for a commercially ambitious, hands-on and decisive leader with high integrity; someone who is personally engaged

in key customers, negotiations and tenders, builds trust and accountability in the team, and brings the persistence and resilience

needed in a market that is still maturing.

WHAT YOU WILL GET FROM WORKING WITH US

An opportunity to shape Nel's commercial approach in Europe at an important time for the company and the industry.
A visible and impactful role with senior exposure to customers, partners and policymakers across Europe.
A dynamic and highly professional working environment with competent and committed colleagues.
Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits, pension and insurance schemes.
