Job description

In a nutshell

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.

Important

This is not a 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.

Tricks of the trade

• Lead with ambition: You’ll take the driver's seat and rethink the grocery shopping experience for tens of thousands of customers across Germany and beyond. Your unstoppable ambition and analytical foresight will be pivotal in driving innovation and creating visible impact. This will help you build a wonderful path within Picnic!
• Solve real‑life puzzles: You’ll join one of our business teams and start working on a high‑impact project right away. You’ll work at the intersection of data, strategy, tech and sustainability, building sustainable long‑term solutions to complex business challenges.
• Innovate across borders: You'll work closely with colleagues from our French and Dutch markets and work on projects that span across borders. Keep in mind: we're building the best milkman on earth!

Sustainability at our core

• We own the largest electric delivery fleet in grocery retail, enabling emission‑free deliveries.
• Our app‑only model means that we have 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 leading to impact

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.

The projects you’ll be working on will be creating direct value for business growth. Here are some topics through which we shape the future of tech‑driven retail and where you can be part of:

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

Your superpowers

• You have graduated from a Masters degree in a quantitative field
• You’ve already gained up to 5 years of work experience in high‑performing, fast‑paced environments; top‑tier strategy consulting or entrepreneurial experience is a strong plus
• You’re energized by taking initiative, solving complex puzzles, and thinking creatively
• You have a builder mindset: hands‑on, curious, and eager to challenge the status quo with practical solutions
• You have already gained basic knowledge in PowerPoint, Python, SQL, R or similar
• An EU citizenship or valid working permit is required for this application

Picnic Perks

• Rewarding Impact from Day One – You’ll receive an attractive compensation package, designed to reward your ambition, drive, and the direct impact you’ll make from your very first project.
• 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. We also offer free access to trained psychologists via our OpenUp partner, and German language classes if you’d like to get your experience in Germany to the next level.
• Relocation – If you’re moving from another country to join Picnic we make it as smooth as possible for you. We’ll cover your flight costs and a first month's accommodation.
• Fresh Lunch, coffee, and snacks – Our offices are equipped with fully‑fledged coffee bars and a kitchen. We get delicious fresh and warm lunches every day so you can keep your energy up.
• All the rest – At Picnic you get 30 holidays, we cover your travel expenses and offer a pension plan. And your phone and laptop are on us, of course.

FAQs

• 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 lifetime 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. Career paths vary across interests and strengths: many projects grow in scope and you may grow a team, deepen understanding, and switch to other areas within Picnic.
