From learning to leading

Throughout this one-year program, you’ll own business-critical projects from start to finish right from the get-go, supported by mentorship, learning sessions, and regular feedback. You’ll strengthen your leadership skills in project management, storytelling, stakeholder communication, and giving and receiving feedback, while sharpening your technical skills in Python, SQL, Excel, and PowerPoint. As your scope grows, so does your responsibility. You might scale your initial project or take on new challenges within the same domain. Either way, there’s always a new challenge to lead and an opportunity to make an impact. That’s why every journey is unique: there’s no standardized path through the program, just continuous opportunities to grow and lead.

Where you’ll make an impact

From day one, you’ll be embedded in a business team, taking ownership in one of the following domains:

• Consumer - Drive growth through pricing, supplier strategy, and our market strategy. Think: Shaping our successful market entry into new cities. Your decisions shape how millions of customers experience Picnic.
• Logistics - Build the backbone of Picnics operations. Think: robotic fulfilment, demand forecasting, route optimization across Europe and much more

Your superpowers

You don't wait for permission. You see a problem, build the solution, and bring people with you, before anyone asks. You've probably already started something: a project, a product, a business, an initiative that didn't exist until you made it happen. More specifically, you:

• Are about to graduate (or recently graduated) a Masters in a quantitative field : e.g., mathematics, econometrics, engineering, or similar
• Have experience in high-performance environments: consulting, fast-growth startups, or competitive internships and know what it means to raise the bar
