Analytics - Future Leaders Graduate Program

Are you an ambitious graduate ready to tackle complex, real-world challenges at the intersection of data, strategy and tech? 

The Future Leaders Graduate Program – Business Analytics at Picnic is a two-year launchpad for exceptional talents. From day one, you join a business team, own a business topic, and become an expert in your field.

At Picnic, we’re building the future of grocery. Using cutting-edge technology and data-driven innovation, we challenge the status quo and build the world’s smartest, most customer-focused supermarket.
We move fast, think big, and turn bold ideas into tangible impact.

• Lead with ambition: Bring your relentless determination, creativity, and grit. Take the driver’s seat and redefine the grocery shopping experience for millions. You will be expected to think independently, move fast, and deliver results.
• Steep learning curve: Your growth comes from owning real problems, testing your ideas, learning from your mistakes and starting again. You'll blend hands-on training with immediate execution, you’ll move at a pace that accelerates your growth like nowhere else.
• Solve real-life puzzles: Spot opportunities, use tools at the forefront of technology, and own the outcome end to end. Not just making slides, but building the solution yourself.
• Innovate across borders: You’ll collaborate with teams across the Netherlands, Germany, and France, tackling challenges that redefine how Picnic operates at a European scale.
• High-performance environment: You’ll work alongside some of the best teams in analytics and tech, people who set a high bar and expect you to do the same.

Throughout the two-year program, you’ll own business-critical projects from start to finish, 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, the pace is yours to set, and 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 learn, 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 Picnic: robotic fulfilment, demand forecasting, route optimization across Europe and much more

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
• Have experience in high-performance environments: consulting, fast-growth startups, or competitive internships.
• Show an entrepreneurial mindset: you build, improve, and take ownership without being asked
• Think like a builder: hands-on, curious, and driven to challenge the status quo with practical solutions
• You have already gained basic knowledge in PowerPoint, Python, SQL, Excel or alternative coding languages 
• EU citizenship or valid EU working permit required.
