Multi-brand automotive retail and fleet leasing across five countries
Van Mossel is a large-scale automotive operator managing 566 locations, 48 dealership brands, and a 130,000-vehicle lease fleet across the Benelux, Northern Europe, and the UK. The tech stack is primarily operational and analytical (Mendix, Google Cloud analytics, Office) rather than engineering-focused—reflecting a business-operations-led model. Hiring velocity is accelerating, with operations and sales roles dominating (137 of 243 open positions), but the pain list (process bottlenecks, inefficiencies, fleet maintenance costs) and active projects (work-process improvement, supplier optimization) indicate internal systems strain at scale.
Notable leadership hires: Branch Director, Head Financial Administration
