We're looking for a Capex Controller who can combine first-class technical accounting with an eye for detail and a problem-solving mindset. You aren’t just managing our asset register; you’re an innovative thinker who understands how the lifecycle of our physical and intangible assets fuels our growth. As we’re building a best-in-class Finance function, you’re able to rethink asset management through the lens of technology rather than just executing manual, repetitive operations. You’re confident, take full ownership of the asset related processes for the Picnic group, and collaborate across departments to ensure our investments are clearly recorded and managed. You’re an enabler who helps us scale the finance domain of the future!
- Ownership: Take full ownership of the Fixed Asset Register, ensuring the accuracy of acquisitions, disposals, and transfers across the organization.
- Lead: Drive the month-end closing activities for fixed assets, including depreciation runs, capital expenditure tracking, reporting on asset-related KPIs, and own the reporting to authorities and auditors.
- Hands-on Mentality: Actively collaborate with the country controllers to ensure smooth and accurate reporting, and solve asset related issues in a timely manner.
- Improving Processes: Dig into the details of our asset processes and tech solutions to identify inefficiencies, then design automated workflows to improve our efficiency and productivity.
- Collaboration: Partner with IT and Operational teams to ensure seamless communication regarding new investments and asset retirements. Challenge the budget owners on their CAPEX spending.
- Support: Serve as the primary point of contact for fixed assets during year-end audits and tax reporting.

What We Do
At Picnic, we’re revolutionizing the way people buy groceries. Our affordable and sustainable service is made possible by our passionate people, cutting-edge technology, efficient planning, and, of course, our fleet of iconic electric vehicles! It’s why our customer base is growing rapidly across the Netherlands, Germany, and France. One of the things that makes Picnic different is that we handle almost everything in-house: forecasting, developing our first automated warehouse and new electric Picnic vehicles, internal and customer-facing applications—the list goes on. It gives us more freedom when it comes to trying out new and innovative ideas, which is something we do a lot! We love to challenge ourselves and learn new things. Our teams have access to various meetups, language classes, ‘Lunch & Learn’ sessions, our very own Tech Academy, and tailored soft-skills training. Professional development is as important to us as the service we provide to our customers. As a diverse team made up of over 80 nationalities, there are always plenty of activities to get involved with, whether you’re into sports, board games, charitable causes, dancing (at our legendary Picnic festival), or licorice tasting—yes, even that! Our scale-up culture means you get to own your role and bring fresh ideas to the table. So, if you’re looking for an opportunity to make a real difference, get in touch—we’d love to hear from you.
