Who We Are
At Drop Mobility we believe in a shared, electric, sustainable, and connected future for urban mobility. Founded in 2017, we have grown consistently and now operate in 60+ cities across North America, with offices in San Francisco, Toronto, and across the continent.
We work in close partnership with municipal governments, transit agencies, non-profit bike share organizations, corporates, campuses, and other bike advocacy organizations to support and operate thousands of electric vehicles every day. Our best-in-class e-bikes, our full-stack software platform, and our dedicated operations division provide mobility solutions that help tackle some of our generation's biggest challenges around climate change and traffic congestion.

Responsibilities
- Follow up with suppliers on quotes, samples, invoices, production status, lead times, shipment readiness, and open issues.
- Support purchase order tracking from quote and invoice through production, shipment, receipt, and completion.
- Coordinate with warehouses, carriers, freight forwarders, and internal teams.
- Maintain accurate records for suppliers, purchase orders, inventory, shipments, spare parts, and documents.
- Support internal requests related to spare parts, hardware, shipments, documentation, and supplier communication.
- Assist with process improvements, documentation, and cleaner internal workflows as the company grows.
Qualifications
Required:
- Fluency in English and Mandarin.
- Bachelor's degree in Science, Business, Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong problem-solving skills and logical thinking.
- Strong attention to detail and clear written communication.
- Fast learner who can quickly pick up new products, software platforms, internal tools, and workflows.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities at once.
- Comfort working with spreadsheets, databases, and structured records.
- Willingness to take occasional off-hours calls or messages to overlap with international supplier time zones.
Nice to have:
- Interest in bikes, e-bikes, hardware, mobility, or transportation.
- Familiarity with AI and automation tools.
- An eye for graphics and design - good taste in how things look and read.
- Builder mindset - someone who likes improving systems and making processes better.
