The growth of the Electric Vehicles (EV) and Future Mobility landscape has been significant for the past couple of years, driven by market expansion, purchase incentives, availability of options, and strict governmental policies towards the banning of ICE vehicle sales. Across hardware, software and services we have supported a myriad of VC backed start-ups to scale, as well as larger organisations developing their future mobility offerings.
This continued expansion of the EV industry, not just road vehicles, has already and is further expected to create a massive demand to hire top leadership talent across an array of EV technologies and infrastructures. As experts in this industry, we at Hyperion Executive Search have been working with clients in the following subsectors:
Our EV and future mobility team is headed by Stephen Robinson, Managing Partner
Stephen leads Hyperion Executive Search’s EV & Future Mobility practice, spanning Battery Manufacturing, Electric Vehicle Manufacturing, EV Charging Infrastructure (OEM, Installation, CPO, Maintenance, eMSP and SaaS), Fleet Electrification, MaaS, Hydrogen and the wider CASE ecosystem. He specializes in C-Suite and Senior Leadership across Commercial, Operational & Technical disciplines, whilst supporting scale-ups with international expansion and building out departmental teams.
Stephen has over a decade of experience hiring across the global energy and mobility sectors, including 8 years’ experience recruiting into the EV sector. Over the years he has developed a rich network and is recognised as one of the top executive search consultants in the industry. Stephen is passionate about helping people and companies to grow. As an electric vehicle driver himself, he is driven to help accelerate the mobility transition.
At Hyperion Executive Search many of our searches are ‘under the radar’, especially executive and strategically important hires. However we do publish many live mandates which you can access and apply to below.
Stephen is a very professional recruiter, always enthusiastic and present. He followed and helped me during all the recruiting process with clear information, and advice. Talking with him, you can feel he loves his job and his natural empathy with people is something that allows him to go further the standard recruiting process. He's an expert about the e-mobility market and really updated; we had more than a talk about that, and for the first time in my professional life I've been recruited by a person who really was able to deep analyze and evaluate my competencies.
Always present with updates at every recruiting step, I can say he really is the right person in the right place.

Sales Country Manager Italy at Alfen
David and the team at Hyperion have just completed an assignment for us, from which we would 100% recommend their services. We commissioned the work with them because our previous attempt to use a conventional agency in our sector (automotive) had been useless. They quickly understood the needs of the assignment and delivered above expectations, giving us a good choice of high quality and well matched candidates to select from. Thank you

Steve and the team at Hyperion are reliable and operate with integrity. Steve a pleasure to work with and is a great communicator, regularly updating both candidates and clients. Of most value, he knows the industry and people within it very well and takes time to match roles with individuals, taking care that the match works for both parties, which gives everyone involved the best chance of long term success.

Head of Product & Innovation at Drax
Stephen and the Hyperion team are great. We needed some support to help find our first Head of Business Development at Trojan. Stephen helped identify some fantastic candidates for the role and in the end we were delighted with our final hire. Very professional team and service and clearly extremely well connected in the EV charging sector.
