VDCN is developing the UK’s next national digital infrastructure: Vehicle Data Communications Network, a secure, regulated backbone designed to support the Government’s forthcoming transition to per-mile road-usage charging for electric vehicles.
The platform is already built and preparing for pilot with public-sector and industry partners. VDCN aims to become the UK’s equivalent of the Smart Meter DCC – but for vehicles.
This is a unique opportunity to join at the earliest stage of a national-scale infrastructure initiative.
Role Description
We are seeking a highly motivated Head of Capital Raising (CCO-Track) to lead VDCN’s investment strategy and secure capital from UK-based investors, government-aligned funds, infrastructure partners, and strategic institutional backers.
This role is ideal for someone who has strong investor relationships, understands infrastructure or climate-tech investment, and wants to take a founding executive path toward becoming Chief Capital Officer (CCO) as the company scales.
