Pon Management Traineeship - English

Pon Management Traineeship

Enjoy the freedom to build your own career!

Pon moves people. Literally, from A to B. But also figuratively, because we like to lead the way when it comes to social topics. From the pursuit of sustainability to inclusion: We move you to a better world. This is only possible if we attract top talent with all kinds of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. Talents like you! The Pon Management Traineeship is therefore more than 'just' a voyage of discovery through our 80 companies: it is a program that moves you to make a positive difference together with us.

Pon Management Traineeship

The Pon Management Traineeship is all about freedom. To develop yourself as a person. And to discover how you can make an impact as a professional. How do we give you that freedom? For example, by letting your passions and ambitions guide you. You choose which projects you run. And where, because you can run a project abroad. So at Pon you not only get to know yourself and a lot of colleagues, but you are also challenged to investigate how we can make the world a little better. We move you to a better world. Together with you.

(P)Online Experience Week - Sign up now!

What does a day as a Management Trainee at Pon look like? During the Experience Week from March 23-27, you will find out. We will take you on a tour of our business units and dive deep into the opportunities our traineeship offers you. Ask questions to current trainees, get a feel for the atmosphere, and discover how you can make an impact in the world of mobility.

What is the traineeship like

The traineeship lasts 20 months. You determine project 1 together with the Talent Development Manager. After that, you're in the driver's seat. But with enthusiastic fellow trainees, mentors and coaches in the back seat, so that you get everything out of yourself and each other. You run three projects of six months, plus a Customer Experience track (on the shop floor!) of two months. The projects take you along different business domains and function groups. In this way you will discover what you like and where your strengths lie. During your final project, together we will look for a Pon exit job that suits you. Think of positions such as Business Development Manager, Proposition Marketeer, Team Lead Inside Sales, (Digital) Project Manager, Operations Manager, Customer Success Manager, Business Assistant and (many) other roles.

What to bring:

• A healthy dose of independence, curiosity, flexibility and (most importantly) entrepreneurship.
• You connect easily and enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds and at all levels within the organization.
• You have a demonstrable affinity with the mobility sector and the drive to make a positive impact.
• You are motivated to gain experience within the company's core business and grow into a leadership role within Pon in the coming years.
• A Master’s degree (University), preferably supplemented with (some) experience in international settings.
• You live in the Netherlands or Germany.
• You have communication skills in English and Dutch, or English and German, depending on where you live.
• You have less than 2 years of work experience since completing your university master's degree.
• In the end, we are especially curious about you as a person. Why have you made certain choices and how has this shaped you?

What do we offer you?

Pon is one of the largest family-owned companies in the Netherlands and one of the most important players in the field of mobility. Mobility stands for freedom. And freedom is what we offer you. That doesn't mean you're all by your lonesome in the trainee boat, because you'll be coached and inspired by fellow trainees, a senior mentor, the talent development manager and an independent coach. And because you'll take on multiple roles within multiple Pon companies, you'll quickly build a large network. And what else? You can also count on an excellent salary, a laptop, a phone and a car from one of 'our' great brands. You will also receive a discount on our products and health insurance. The culture? Enterprising, open, down-to-earth and with a lot of attention to fun and sport. An environment in which you can grow and flourish both personally and professionally.
