Picnic GmbH
Future Leaders Graduate Program
What we do:
Picnic is reinventing grocery delivery by merging the nostalgic efficiency of the milkman model with a high-tech, data-driven backbone. What sets us apart is our vertical integration: we are a tech company at our core, developing all our software, intelligent routing algorithms, and even our own recipes and private-label products entirely in-house. Our mission is to simplify daily life for millions of families through a 100% electric fleet and a proprietary end-to-end platform that optimizes every step of the supply chain. By building our own tools from the ground up, we ensure a seamless, sustainable, and affordable experience that turns a daily chore into a smart and modern service.
About the role:
Are you a recent graduate ready to dive straight into the heart of our business? Do complex challenges motivate rather than intimidate you? Then you belong in the Commercial & Customer Team at Picnic. Our 2-year trainee program isn’t a warm-up - it’s your true launchpad. You’ll start directly in a consumer-focused role, such as Category Management, Store, Meals, or Customer, depending on your strengths and interests.

At the same time, we invest specifically in you through training in market understanding, business knowledge, and presentation skills. And because success is more fun together, you’ll become part of a tight-knit graduate community - smart, ambitious, and always ready to rethink the status quo. In short: If you don’t just want to follow along, but want to actively shape the start of your career - welcome to Picnic! What awaits you Teamwork: You’ll bring everyone to the table, working alongside our Category Managers, Designers, Copywriters, and Tech teams.
