Pon Management Traineeship

Start as a Pon Management Trainee and enjoy the freedom to build your own career!

We move you to a better world. With this promise, and our unique products, services and solutions, Pon proves that great, innovative entrepreneurship can go hand in hand with caring about people and the environment. We can only do that 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 journey through our 100 companies: it is a program that motivates you to make a positive difference together with us.

What will you be doing

As a Management Trainee you will complete three projects of six months and a Customer Experience assignment of two months at four different Pon companies. The duration of your Traineeship will be 20 months total.

The first project will be selected for you by your Talent Development Manager. You will be in the lead for choosing the next three projects. We challenge you to explore Pon to the full extent, by doing projects in different business groups (Automotive and Bikes), various functional areas (such as Marketing, Sales, Supply Chain, and so on) and in both your country of residence (the Netherlands or Germany) and abroad.

During your Customer Experience assignment, you will discover the true roots of Pon and have direct contact with various customers.

Throughout your traineeship there will be a strong focus on your personal development: you will have access to an external coach, participate in three training weeks and have various colleagues (the Talent Development Manager, a senior mentor, project sponsors and of course the trainee (alumni) community) to support you along the way.

After your management traineeship

The Management Traineeship is designed to develop our future leaders’ competencies. Pon aims to prepare trainees for a leadership role within Pon over the years. During your final project you will apply for your first position. Typical roles for a Management Trainee after the program include Business Development Manager, Proposition Marketeer, Team Lead Inside Sales, (Digital) Project Manager, Operations Manager, Customer Success Manager, Business Assistant and (many) other roles.
