Entrepreneurship in the territories: is it the right time?
As a Supply Manager Intern, you will join our Operations Team in Paris and work closely with Frédéric, our Head of Business Operations.
Within the Business Operations 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 fast 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 rolling out our new supply model and supporting the launch of e-scooters in Bordeaux, projects where your work will have a direct and tangible impact.
Your Mission
- 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.
