Job Description

Start Your Career. Shape the Future of Mobility. At XPENG, we are building more than intelligent electric vehicles. We are building the future of mobility across Europe. The XPENG Explorer Program is our early-career program for ambitious students and recent graduates who are ready to learn fast, take ownership and make an impact from the beginning of their careers. You do not need to have everything figured out yet. What matters to us is your curiosity, your ability to learn, your willingness to take responsibility and your ambition to grow in an international environment. About the Explorer Program Your first role should be more than just a job title. It should be a place where you can learn, explore and discover what you are capable of. As an XPENG Explorer, you will join a real business team from Day 1, take ownership of meaningful responsibilities and contribute to projects that directly support our growth across Europe. Beyond your core role, you will have opportunities to collaborate across functions and markets, gain exposure to different areas of the business and develop a broader understanding of how an international mobility company operates. The Explorer Program is designed to give early-career talent the opportunity to learn through real experience, build strong business fundamentals and gradually take on greater responsibility as they grow. We are not looking for people who already know everything. We are looking for people who are curious, adaptable, ambitious and ready to explore — people who are willing to challenge themselves, learn from others and grow together with XPENG. What You Will Explore Your journey as an Explorer will be built around real business challenges rather than classroom-only learning. Depending on your background, interests and business needs, you may gain exposure to areas such as: Sales & Business Operations:Support market growth, sales planning, dealer operations, commercial analysis and business performance. Marketing & Brand:Contribute to campaigns, events, social media, digital marketing, product communication and customer engagement. Product & Strategy:Support product planning, market research, competitive analysis and the development of market-specific business strategies. Aftersales & Customer Experience:Help improve service operations, customer experience, warranty processes and aftersales network development. Supply Chain & Logistics:Support vehicle planning, order management, logistics coordination and delivery operations across European markets. Network Development:Contribute to dealer network expansion, market coverage analysis and the development of XPENG's retail and service footprint. Corporate Functions:Gain exposure to areas such as HR, Finance, Legal, Procurement or other functions supporting XPENG's European growth. Your role may vary, but your mission is bigger: You will help redefine how the world moves — accelerating the shift toward intelligent, sustainable mobility and contributing to a cleaner future for generations to come. How Your Role Will Be Determined The Explorer Program is designed as a talent-to-business matching program rather than a self-selected job placement program. During the application process, you may indicate the business areas, functions or career directions that interest you. However, applying for the Explorer Program does not guarantee placement in a specific position, department, function or market. Your final role will be determined through XPENG's interview and assessment process. Our hiring managers and relevant business leaders will consider factors including: Your educational and professional background; Your skills, strengths and development potential; Your interview and assessment performance; Your career interests and motivation; Team and organizational requirements; Current and future business needs across XPENG Europe. Based on this overall assessment, XPENG will match successful candidates with the role and team considered most suitable for their capabilities and development potential. Where appropriate, candidates may also be considered for Explorer opportunities other than the area originally indicated in their application. Your preferences will be taken into consideration, but final placement decisions remain at the discretion of XPENG based on the overall assessment and business needs. What You Will Do As an XPENG Explorer, you may: Support and independently manage projects within your business function. Analyze business data and translate insights into practical recommendations. Collaborate with colleagues across European markets and global teams. Support the development and improvement of business processes. Participate in cross-functional initiatives and strategic projects. Identify problems, propose solutions and help drive implementation. Communicate with internal and external stakeholders. Learn quickly from new situations and take increasing ownership over time. The exact scope of your role will vary depending on your function and market. What we expect from every Explorer is the same: be proactive, stay curious and take responsibility. Who We Are Looking For We are looking for students and recent graduates who want more than a traditional entry-level role. You could be a great fit if you: Are currently completing or have recently completed a Bachelor's or Master's degree. Are at the beginning of your professional career. Have a strong willingness to learn and develop. Are comfortable working in a fast-changing environment. Take initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do. Enjoy solving problems and turning ideas into action. Are open to working across cultures, functions and markets. Communicate clearly and enjoy collaborating with others. Are comfortable working in English in an international environment. Have a genuine interest in mobility, technology, business or innovation. Previous internships, student projects or international experience are welcome, but we value potential, mindset and learning agility just as much as previous experience. Important Program Disclaimer The Explorer Program is designed as a flexible talent-matching program. The role, team, function, location and responsibilities described in this posting are indicative and may vary depending on the candidate's profile, interview results and XPENG's business needs. Candidate preferences will be considered, but final placement decisions will be made by XPENG based on the overall assessment and organizational requirements. Participation in the recruitment process does not guarantee employment or placement in a specific role, team, function or location.
