Important: This is not an one-time vacancy. We are continuously looking for smart, enthusiastic and entrepreneurial talents given the scale up phase we're currently in! In the recruitment process we will understand on both sides which topics, scope and complexity suits you best in order to set you up for success from the very start. In the first years the projects will not rotate across domains, but will rather focus on leading high impact value within one business area.

You'll dive headfirst into one of Picnic's dynamic business domains, taking a hands-on role from day one. Drawing on your expertise, you'll lead in-depth analyses, shape project visions, and drive innovative solutions. As your impact grows, so will the scope of your responsibilities. To support your development, you'll have access to tailored training and mentorship designed to help you build the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in an expanding role.

Learning & development
You'll always have something to learn with us! You'll benefit from opportunities like Lepaya training for polishing soft skills or Picnic Tech Academy training in case you want to learn new skills other than what you already know.

Which team will I join?
At Picnic, we build almost everything in-house. This means that we have plenty of opportunities for you in terms of project topics. Your interest lies in consumer topics like pricing, assortment, customer life time value? Or rather in logistics, supply chain, automated warehousing areas? Or you'd love going adventurous into new areas as long as you're solving real world problems? Let's talk and figure it out where there's the best match.
What are the long term opportunities for this role? What happens after I'm done with a project?
You get full accountability from the start: from shaping the strategy and driving step-change improvements, to collaborating with multiple teams to achieve tangible business results.
At Picnic, the long-term opportunity isn't just a role—it's a platform to shape your own career trajectory with real ownership, business impact, and fast growth. Hence the career paths are as diverse as your ambitions. Depending on your interests and strengths, these are most common career paths we've seen so far:
- Given our scale-up environment, many projects tend to grow in scope and complexity under your responsibility and you naturally grow a team around you in order to take your project to a next level.
- As you grow, you'll deepen your understanding of the business, build a strong internal network, and prove your ability to lead impactful projects. Once you feel you've learned everything in your scope and your projects have been successfully implemented, you can switch to complete different areas of Picnic. We have numerous colleagues that have switched from Commercial to Fulfillment, or from Distribution to Customer and many other examples.
