At Picnic, we’re revolutionizing the way people buy groceries with our innovative and sustainable app-only service. We do almost everything in-house, developing cutting-edge technologies and processes to ensure we continue to grow rapidly without missing a beat. If you’re a passionate Category Coordinator, we’re offering you the opportunity to join the diverse team at our office in Amsterdam and make a real difference in our scale-up environment.
Products are at the core of our business. We aim to offer the best product range, to make sure we always deliver the best quality. And you are responsible to do this for your product category. With a team of 4, consisting of a team lead, an analyst, a coordinator and an operator, you take full responsibility for your category, with the goal to make customers happy and improve profitability.
You develop a deep understanding of how your category serves our customers. You have a good nose for commercial opportunities and keep track of promising category innovations. You understand the end-to-end supply chain and identify opportunities to improve the range, product quality and profitability. Furthermore, you build strong relationships with your suppliers, and ensure that the day-to-day operations run smoothly while solving operational challenges.
Picnic differentiates itself in data. We have state of the art data-warehouses and all our insights and initiatives start with data driven understanding. Key to your success as a Category Coordinator is your ability to work alongside analysts to draw key observations and translate the insights into actions.

You’ll get plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself and grow, including the Picnic Tech Academy, Lunch & Learn sessions, and tailored soft skills training. We also offer free professional weekly language courses.

Stay healthy
Mental health is important. As well as having the option to speak with Picnic colleagues who act as confidential advisors, our collaboration with OpenUp gives you easy access to professional psychologists, along with workshops and materials.

Attractive package
We offer competitive compensation and a pension plan that looks out for your future self as well as 25 vacation days per year, so you can recharge your batteries
Work-life balance
Where possible, we like to enable people to work in ways that suit their working styles, which is why we have a hybrid-working model. Our teams generally like to have at least one team day per week at the office (the tasty lunch and Barista-made coffee may be a factor), but besides that, it’s up to you and your team.
Benefits for expats
It can be daunting starting a new job AND moving to a new country. That’s why we offer lots of support for our many expat colleagues, including:
Relocation package: If you join Picnic from abroad, we’ll cover your trip to Amsterdam, sponsor your Visa, and offer you a month of accommodation while you settle in (as long as regulations allow).
In the Netherlands, we offer support with your first tax report as well as arranging the 30% ruling.
From health insurance to living arrangements to pet passports, there are always colleagues who’ve faced the same challenges and are more than happy to help!
COVID-19
We care about your health and wellbeing. As such, we currently support online interviews and remote onboarding (learn more about the process here).
