Analytics - Future Leaders Graduate Program

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.

If your internships and projects demonstrate real hands-on ownership and data-driven thinking, we'll consider your application. You do need a Master's degree , basic knowledge of Python or SQL, and relevant work experience. Does the program include rotations?

No, intentionally. We believe depth creates ownership, and ownership creates impact. Rather than rotating across teams, you’ll go deep in one area, build real expertise, and gradually expand your scope as your impact grows.

If you have topic preferences, tell us during the process. In what language should I apply? English.

Please include your CV and Master's degree transcript or any other relevant test scores (e.g., GMAT) What are the long-term opportunities after the program? This program is a fast track into a high-impact career at Picnic, it’s an entry point for a long-term future, not a two-year stopover. Career paths here are as varied as the people on them.

Some grow vertically, building deep expertise and a team around them as their project expands. Others move laterally - from Commercial to Fulfilment, Distribution to Customer, or wherever their strengths and ambitions take them. What they share is real ownership, real impact, and a career they shaped themselves.
