VW is planning an aggressive start to 2017 in New Zealand, by recruiting new senior staff for its commercial vehicles operation.
Volkswagen commercial vehicles sells close to 500,000 vehicles annually, around the globe, and has the biggest commercial range in New Zealand – the Caddy, T6 and Crafter van range, plus the new Amarok ute.
“With strong growth ambitions, the Volkswagen commercial business in New Zealand wishes to double its business in the next 24 months and knows that while its product range is world class, nothing can be achieved without world class people,” says Tom Ruddenklau, general manager for Volkswagen NZ.
“With this in mind, a significant investment into the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle team will commence in January 2017. New roles will be recruited for:
· Head of Volkswagen commercial vehicles – responsible for the overall strategy and performance of the commercial vehicle range in New Zealand
· National sales manager – responsible for overall sales operations, stock management and performance of the sales team
· Corporate sales manager – responsible for sales to fleet and corporate customers, with a significant focus on the van range
· Product specialist – in conjunction with the Product Manager responsible for the management of product planning, vehicle ordering and logistics.
Recruitment for all roles will commence during January 2017.
Any initial inquiries should be made to Carolina Zalazar who will be managing the requirement process – czalazar@volkswagen.co.nz – or the general manager of Volkswagen, Tom Ruddenklau – truddenklau@volkswagen.co.nz
