Role
Who you are
- You have a Master’s degree in Engineering, Econometrics, Mathematics, Physics or an equivalent quantitative study
- You have 0-3 years of work experience in a fast-paced environment, start-up, scale up or business consulting
- You have the ability to explain complex analytical concepts in a simple and effective way
- Your communication skills allow you to convert abstract plans into digestible information for your team

What the job involves
- You'll be hands-on in this role from day ONE! With operations across three countries and developing almost everything in-house, you'll have the chance of driving innovation everywhere
- Depending on your project and team, it can include:
- Ranking of our online assortment in the app and identifying new commercial opportunities based on data
- Developing algorithms and operating procedures to spot damaged products before they leave the warehouse
- Developing forecasting models to predict the future of customer demand depending on the season, area or current trends
- Improving our planning and routing algorithms in our supply-chain systems
Our take
Picnic is one of Europe's largest online supermarkets, quickly growing into a household name with its simple, yet innovative app and green business model. Thanks to its ‘own the supply chain’ model and daily delivery routes (as opposed to on-demand delivery), the company is able to run a low-cost business targeted at the mass market, rather than premium buyers.
One of the major factors in the company’s rampant growth since 2015 is its capacity for free delivery, enabled by these daily delivery routes. The company's fleet has grown from 4 vans to more than 1,000 electric vehicles, cutting down on carbon emissions as it serves its hundreds of thousands of users.
The company's impressive funding - which has been heavily backed by the likes of The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the sum of 1.4 billion euros in funding - has enabled Picnic to expand beyond The Netherlands into Germany, France, and further afield. Picnic is well set to see continued growth and expansion as it further disrupts the grocery delivery market.
