Commercial Product Specialist NL

The candidate is an experienced Supplier Quality and Product Development professional with a strong technical foundation in smart mobility, e‑mobility and the bicycle industry. His profile highlights him as a communicative, analytical and solution‑oriented expert who acts as a “linking pin between the company, customers & suppliers” and consistently drives quality improvements across complex supply chains.

In his current role as Supplier Quality Engineer, he is responsible for product development, design‑to‑manufacture, safety‑issue handling, supplier audits, KPI‑based supplier selection and continuous quality improvement. Prior to this, he spent several years in the cargo business, where he advanced from production quality to supplier quality engineering, managing field quality, safety issues, distributor support and international supplier development.

He has a strong track record of measurable improvements, including the reorganization of the warranty process (saving over €30k annually), the setup of new assembly partners in Greece and Lithuania, a 40% reduction in RMA cases, and the full management of safety‑critical product issues — from root‑cause analysis to redesign, implementation and communication with B2B and consumer stakeholders.

Alongside his corporate roles, he runs his own consultancy, supporting companies with problem‑solving, product strategies, development processes and organizational challenges. His career began in the bicycle industry, where he gained over 15 years of hands‑on experience as a mechanic, bike specialist and custom‑bike builder.
The candidate is immediately available.
