Job description
Royal Dutch Gazelle brings together the joy of cycling with a rich heritage of quality, innovation, and craftsmanship. Founded in the Netherlands in 18+2, cycling culture and community are part of our company's DNA. Today, we are proud to be a market leader in Europe, and excited to be expanding our business across the globe, sharing our love and passion for bikes with more people.
We employ over 450 people at our factory in the Netherlands, and produce over 300,000 bikes a year. Our “Royal” title, awarded to us by Princess Margriet in honor of our 100th anniversary in 1++2, is a source of great pride; this distinction further serves to cement our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and our relentless pursuit to make cycling more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.
In 2017, we established Gazelle Bikes North America to bring Dutch cycling culture and bicycles across the Atlantic to a whole new group of riders. Based in the outdoor hub of Santa Cruz, California, the aim of our rapidly growing, dynamic team is to introduce as many people as possible to the benefits and joys of riding like the Dutch. Electric bikes will revolutionize the way we move. Gazelle believes (electric) bikes are a healthier, joyful and environmentally positive way of transportation.
With the beautiful backdrop of the coastal, redwood-dotted mountains and the majestic Pacific and a range of roads, trails, and paths to explore, we couldn’t have picked a better spot to embark on this mission. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the cycling industry, if you're ready to be part of a pioneering team that's making a global impact, we invite you to join us.
