In a nutshell

Are you an ambitious graduate ready to tackle complex challenges at the intersection of data strategy tech and sustainability? The Future Leaders Graduate Program – Business Analytics at Picnic is a two‑year launchpad into a high‑impact career where you’ll combine sharp thinking with hands‑on execution. From day one you’ll join a business team, take ownership of key projects and grow into a future leader who doesn’t just identify opportunities you make them happen!

At Picnic we don’t advise from the sidelines! We roll up our sleeves and build. Whether it’s rethinking how customers interact with our app or optimizing our electric‑vehicle routes, we turn ideas into tangible solutions through a unique mix of analytical thinking, smart technology and close collaboration across teams. Your work will be seen, shared and will make a real difference.

Tricks of the trade

• Lead with ambition: You’ll take the driver’s seat and redefine the grocery shopping experience for tens of thousands of customers across Germany and beyond. Your unstoppable ambition to drive innovation and create visible impact will help you become a true leader at Picnic!
• Steep learning curve: You’ll be working on projects at the intersection of data strategy, tech and sustainability, so your learning starts fast. You’ll get targeted training that combines leadership and tech skills from the very beginning and apply them right away on building sustainable long‑term solutions to actual business challenges.
• Solve real‑life puzzles: You’ll join a business team and start working on a high‑impact project. You won’t just watch from the sidelines; you’ll blend hands‑on training with immediate execution, making your mark from day one.
• Innovate across borders: Your training will take place primarily in our Düsseldorf and Amsterdam offices. You’ll work closely with colleagues from our French and Dutch markets and contribute to projects that span across borders.

Sustainability at our core

• We own the largest electric‑delivery fleet in grocery retail, enabling emission‑free deliveries.
• Our app‑only model gives us unmatched data‑analytics capability, which enables us to better match supply to demand and minimise food waste.
• We run a closed‑loop recycling system for our plastic bags and several programmes to avoid wasting food products that are approaching their selling date.

From learning to leading

In this program we focus on developing well‑rounded leaders who combine analytical strength with sharp decision‑making and collaboration skills.

In your first six months you’ll own a business‑critical project from start to finish, supported by mentorship, learning sessions and regular feedback. You’ll strengthen your leadership abilities, such as project management, storytelling, stakeholder communication, giving and receiving feedback while sharpening your skills in Python, SQL, Google Sheets and PowerPoint.

As the program progresses, your scope will grow. You may scale your initial project or take on a new challenge within the same domain. Every six months you’ll have a structured check‑in with your team lead and HR to reflect, plan and adjust your development path.

The projects you’ll be working on will create direct value for business growth. Some topics we are shaping include:

• Personalising the shopping experience for millions, making every app interaction feel tailor‑made.
• Minimising food waste to fuel a more sustainable world.
• Building the future of robotic fulfilment and warehouse automation at scale.
