Product Distribution and Export Specialist (fluent in Dutch)

As a Product Distribution and Export Specialist, you play a central role in enabling the global distribution of the nutritional products produced in Zwolle. You ensure that products have the correct certifications, documentation, and approvals in a timely manner so they can be delivered to markets all over the world.

You are an important link between our production site in Zwolle and international Abbott organizations. In doing so, you work closely with colleagues within Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, Supply Chain, and Operations, and you ensure that product information, export documentation, and supporting processes meet both internal and external requirements.

Thanks to your accuracy, customer-oriented attitude, and strong organizational skills, you contribute to a reliable global product flow. You switch daily between export certification, international documentation requests, product information, complaints management, and process improvements. No two days are the same.

This concerns an office position at our location in Zwolle. For this position, we are looking for a colleague who is available for at least 32 hours per week and initially distributes these hours over five working days. Given the international and operational nature of the role, we consider daily presence and availability to be important. After the onboarding period, other working patterns are negotiable, depending on the tasks and the team's staffing.

• Preparing, managing, and coordinating export certificates and export-related documentation in accordance with local and international laws and regulations.
• Coordinating product-related requests and documentation for international markets, so that products remain available worldwide.
• Acting as a point of contact for international Abbott organizations regarding questions about product specifications, certifications, and technical documentation.
• Managing product, quality, and export documentation and ensuring correct archiving and availability of data.
• Supporting the development and management of quality systems and document management processes.
• Performing analyses, identifying opportunities for improvement, and contributing to the structural optimization of processes and services.
• Independently executing projects and participating in multidisciplinary improvement initiatives.

We are looking for a colleague who gets energy from international collaboration, complex information flows, and supporting global product deliveries. You work accurately, are service-oriented, and maintain an overview in a dynamic environment. Additionally, you enjoy alternating operational tasks with more substantive issues, such as researching international export requirements, product specifications, and laws and regulations. You switch effortlessly between daily tasks and complex issues that require analysis and coordination.

You will join an international and inclusive work environment in which you collaborate daily with colleagues, customers, and stakeholders from all over the world. Abbott actively supports both personal and professional development and offers plenty of opportunities to further develop yourself.

This position offers a unique combination of export, quality, international collaboration, and project-based work. You make a direct contribution to the global availability of nutritional products that support and improve the lives of millions of people.
