Job description

Always wanted to build an app used by millions? As Associate Product Manager you'll own part of the Picnic app from day one. You'll be end to end responsible for creating features by understanding our customers, analyzing data, working with business teams, sketching screens with designers, building with developers, and testing with analysts. As an APM, you're the one making it all happen. The APM program at Picnic is one of the most ambitious tracks in the industry: from recent graduate to Product Manager.

What you'll be doing

Over two years you'll learn everything it takes to build a great product by actually doing it. You'll work alongside experienced product managers in our team. In time, you'll have the opportunity to change product scope to get well rounded experience in a different area as well.

0-6 months

You learn how to solve customer problems. From day one, you’ll help build features used by millions of users, while getting to know our product end to end. To understand what to build, you’ll analyze customer behaviour through data analysis and interviews. Based on your learnings you’ll help shape new features.

6-12 months

You build your first features from scratch. This is the first time you'll own the full product development lifecycle. With help of an experienced Product Manager, you’ll scope a customer problem, shape the solution across design, engineering, data, and business. You’ll drive execution on your plan, ship to customers and see the direct impact of your work.

12+ months

You own a product scope end to end. You decide what problems to solve and own the solutions: the research, the analyses, the designs, the stakeholders, the tech. You are in the lead and responsible for the outcome.

The Program

The launchpad to Product Manager. Learn everything there is about building product and become a PM twice as fast as the industry standard.

Ownership from day one. You'll immediately work on the Picnic app, alongside our experienced product team. You’ll get to experience different scopes ranging from Home page to Payments, Search to Personalisation.

Tangible impact: Every feature you ship is measured, so you'll see the exact impact of your decisions in real data. If it works, double down. If it doesn't, own it and iterate.

Mentorship: You'll have a dedicated mentor accelerating your growth. But most of what you learn, you learn by actually doing it.

Who are you

We’re looking for future leaders who are hungry to learn, eager to build, and passionate about our mission. You don’t need years of product management experience, but you do need to show us you have the raw talent and drive to succeed.

• Master's degree in a quantitative field like Econometrics, Engineering, Computer Science, or similar
• Recent graduate or up to two years of professional experience
• Builder at heart. You've taken initiative and created something from scratch, whether that's a side project, a new idea, or your own startup
• Highly ambitious, natural curiosity and empathy for users. You want to understand, you're always asking "why", and you always think about how to make things better
• Go-getter personality. You're biased toward action and constantly pushing toward clarity and delivery
• An EU working permit or citizenship is required. No visa sponsorship
