**Montreal** | Hybrid (2+ days/week in-office) | CAD $75-95K

**About 7Gen**:
At 7Gen, our mission is to accelerate the transition to zero-emission transportation, not just for today but for the generations to come. Inspired by the 7th Generation Principle, we help companies make meaningful, lasting shifts toward cleaner mobility by removing the complexity from fleet electrification.

Led by our CEO and Founder, Frans Tjallingii, a seasoned entrepreneur and executive with over 20 years in the clean tech, fintech, and maritime industries, our 7Gen leadership team brings decades of experience in mobility, energy, and technology across companies like Bain, BCG, Schneider Electric, GE Capital, Element, Royal Boskalis, and high-growth startups. We’re here to build real-world momentum toward a cleaner transportation future, one vehicle, one route, and one customer at a time.

**The Vision**:
We work with growing small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), including the plumbers, caterers, HVAC technicians, and distributors who while making up the backbone of the economy have historically been left out of the EV transition. We’re changing that by building tools and services that make electrification a competitive advantage, not a burden.

Our EV-as-a-Service model bundles everything fleets need into one scalable, tailored offering: vehicles, charging infrastructure, financing, and intuitive software. It’s built to be flexible, capital-efficient, and easy to operate.

**Your Impact**:
You will be at the core of a massive effort to make electrification easier, cheaper and more reliable for small and medium business through software and AI. These levers will become the engines that unlock efficiency, savings and confidence turning EVs into a competitive advantage for companies.
