Job description

In a nutshell

What’s it like to work on the fastest-growing online supermarket app in Europe? At Picnic, we’re redefining grocery shopping, and we want you to help shape the way millions of customers experience it.

As part of our Future Leaders Graduate Program (Strategy Track), you’ll join a fast-paced environment where strategy and execution live in the same seat . We don't just brainstorm big ideas and hand them off - you’ll analyze customer data, design the strategy, and directly run the campaigns and features in-app.

Opportunities

• Homepage: Plan and execute in-app campaigns, ensure high product availability, and optimize the digital store by showing the best products & seasonal highlights to inspire customers daily.
• Meals: Create appealing recipe app campaigns, targeted at different audiences, from busy families to weekend chefs, ensuring high adoption rates and recipe sales.
• Campaigns : Plan and launch weekly marketing moments, from seasonal celebrations to product pushes
• Partnerships : Collaborate with creators and influencers to grow brand reach and loyalty

This is not a rotation program or internship. You’ll own your domain and become a marketing expert from day one, while shaping how millions of people discover, shop, and engage with food.

Tricks of the trade

• Hands-On Execution: Build, launch, and monitor your own campaigns, visual assets, and app configurations - taking ideas from raw data to production in days, not months.
• Analysis: Leverage data-driven insights to analyze customer behavior, optimize app features, fine-tune pricing, and create irresistible promotions.
• Innovation : Stay ahead of market trends, customer needs, and competitor strategies to innovate and continually enhance our store’s offerings.
• Optimization: Develop and refine tools and processes to boost the efficiency, accuracy, and impact of our commercial activities.
• Cross-Functional Rigor: Work directly with Category Managers, Designers, Data Engineers, and Tech teams to eliminate bottlenecks and optimize app operations.

Your superpowers

• You’re finishing (or just finished) your MSc in Business Administration, Economics, Analytics or a related field with up to 1 year of (full time) work experience
• Strong internship or student track record in fast-moving, high-bar environments - such as FMCG, fast-growing scale-ups, top-tier consultancies, or high-impact student boards/initiatives.
• You aren’t waiting for a playbook. You build tools, automate manual steps, and take full accountability for outcomes.
• You actively challenge existing processes and ask "Why do we do it this way, and how can we make it 10x better?"
• You’re a natural collaborator and communicator , not afraid to own your projects across teams and stakeholders.
• You’re fluent in English (bonus for Dutch, German or French!)
• You have love for food, retail, tech - or all three!
• Bonus: Experience with tools like Salesforce, Selligent, or marketing automation platforms.
