Qui sommes nous ?
Lancé en 2018, pony est l’un des tout premiers opérateurs de micro-mobilité européens. Nous sommes également le seul opérateur français. Nous concevons, produisons et exploitons 15 000 vélos et trottinettes électriques dans 24 villes en Europe. Nous avons pour objectif d’exploiter 35 000 véhicules dans 50 villes en 2027.
Ce qui fait la différence de pony, c’est notre modèle participatif unique au monde ainsi que notre obsession pour la qualité et la durabilité.
En effet, nous pensons que les véhicules partagés doivent appartenir aux personnes qui les utilisent. Ainsi, chaque vélo et trottinette pony est la propriété d’un particulier qui récupère la moitié des revenus de chaque course effectuée. Cela permet de responsabiliser les utilisateurs tout en créant une communauté locale qui soutient le service au quotidien. Nous disons qu’ils adoptent un pony et nous les appelons les pony angels.
You'll be working on
As a Supply Manager Intern, you will join our Operations Team in Paris and work closely with Vivien, our Head of Operations and Maintenance.
Our fleet currently consists of 12’000 bikes and scooters deployed across 24 cities in Europe. Within the team, your mission will be to prevent stockouts, keep spare parts inventory low, and contribute to controlling overall costs. At pony, we believe every second counts. In Supply, this means anticipating needs, reacting quickly to delivery issues, and making sure our fleet is always available for riders.
You’ll have the chance to contribute to exciting projects right away, such as setting up a repair and parts revaluation process, where your work will have a direct and tangible impact.
Key Responsibilities
Inventory & supply flow management: Make sure our spare parts are always available at the right time, anticipate needs to avoid stockouts or overstocking, keep reporting clear and simple, and work closely with our operations and hardware teams.
Analysis and optimisation: Refine our consumption forecasting model and analyse high-impact consumption patterns for pony (e.g., economic stakes or significant stock variations).
Procurement & negotiation: Ask for quotes, negotiate terms, place orders, and challenge our suppliers to get the best quality/price/lead time balance.
Shipping coordination: Oversee deliveries, coordinate with carriers, and anticipate potential delays or issues (customs, disputes, etc.).
After-sales & quality management: Handle non-compliance issues with care, collect field feedback, and manage supplier claims through to resolution.
Stock valuation and invoice: Help monitor and update stock levels (actual and forecasted) to keep inventory valuation accurate. Maintain tracking tools and support invoice management and payment follow-ups as needed.
Process design & purchasing strategy: Help define our purchasing policies, improve the way we already do things, and bring fresh ideas to make us even more efficient.
We're looking for
Education: Enrolled in a top engineering or business school, looking for a gap year or final-year internship. A focus on supply chain or procurement is a plus.
Project management: Able to support and coordinate projects, set priorities, track progress, and anticipate potential issues.
Purchasing: Interested in negotiation and supplier relations, willingness to participate in discussions with suppliers, help gather information, and support decision-making
Rigor & attention to detail: Follow processes carefully, ensure accuracy, and understand the importance of reliability in supply operations.
People skills: Communicate clearly, collaborate across teams, and build constructive relationships with colleagues and suppliers.
