About Raeon
Custom batteries are inaccessible for too many. From motorbikes to drones, boats to robotics and everything in between, we build batteries differently to enable high performance, affordable optimisation.
We’re at the start of our journey. We have experience, innovation and momentum on our side.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for a highly capable and experienced individual to lead our commercial function, and secure the future of our manufacturing capability for both short term and long term programmes. This is a pivotal role that requires deep battery industry fluency - we need someone who speaks the language of electrification.
We need a strategic operator to take full ownership of our sales roadmap, moving beyond inbound enquiries to proactively hunting and securing high-value production contracts in Niche Automotive, Defence, Marine and more. You will be responsible for translating our technology advantage—speed, performance, flexibility, and low NRE—into commercial growth, reporting directly to the Board.
