At Picnic, we’re revolutionizing the way people buy groceries today with our innovative and sustainable modern milkman, app-only concept. We develop a whole new idea in-house, developing cutting-edge technologies and processes to ensure we continue the rapid growth without missing a beat. If you're up for the challenge of taking Picnic from North Rhine-Westphalia across the whole Germany and help scaling up the modern milkman, then make sure you talk with us!
🥜 In a nutshell
Did you know that...

As a Senior Lead Analyst within Picnic Germany, your role is twofold: on one hand, you're using your exceptional analytical skills to drive projects from conceptualization to implementation in different areas of Picnic's business model; and on the other hand, you steer the expansion and scale up phase of Picnic in Germany, challenging the traditional industry of groceries with a disruptive business model and tackling the food waste world problem by putting data and tech at first.
"I am developing data-driven approaches to ensure that all products reach our customers always in the best possible condition. In a first step, this requires developing a deep understanding of which factors cause products to get damaged along the fulfilment and distribution process. Based on this, we develop an algorithm that predicts which delivery boxes have a high risk of containing damaged products. Those boxes we then check in our Fulfilment Centers to prevent damages in the first place", Konstantin Biel
🎯 What you’ll do
You’ll work on a wide range of projects and concepts which can vary from supply chain optimization problems to pricing or assortment strategies, to online store efficiency (we're an app-only store, imagine how much we can improve out there through data) and so on. We've only started in 2015, can you imagine how much is out there that we still didn't even figure out yet? With operations across three countries, you'll work with stakeholders from Germany, The Netherlands and France and you'll have the chance of driving innovation everywhere.
