Do you recognize yourself in this profile and do you see yourself as the brand ambassador who takes Volvo and Polestar to the next level? We would love to talk to you. Apply directly via our website!

The role

As Commercial Director, you will take full brand responsibility for the Volvo and Polestar brands within Van Mossel, a relatively new brand cluster within one of Europe's fastest-growing automotive organizations. You are the strategic pivot between the importer and the internal organization: you translate brand ambitions into concrete commercial results, monitor brand consistency at all levels, and provide direction to an organization that is ready for the next growth phase.

This is not a purely strategic role. You feel comfortable both in the boardroom and in the showroom. You lead a team of site managers and marketing professionals, and work closely with the management of Van Mossel to further put these brands on the map in the Netherlands.

What you'll do

Strategy & growth You translate the importer strategy of Volvo and Polestar into a plan for growth in market share, customer experience, and profitability. You establish annual sales and customer satisfaction goals and ensure that the entire organization is aligned with these. You approach business development initiatives as an opportunity, not an afterthought.

Leadership & team development You coach and develop a team of site managers and sales teams. You create a culture of ownership and accountability where results and customer focus go hand in hand. You are the one who makes people better at their jobs.

Stakeholder management You are the face of Van Mossel Volvo and Polestar. You build sustainable relationships, negotiate terms, and represent the interests of the organization, while simultaneously ensuring compliance with brand standards.

Operational management From showroom performance to events: you monitor the end-to-end customer journey. You identify bottlenecks early, adjust based on data, and ensure that processes are scalable as the organization grows.
