At Picnic, we’re revolutionizing the way people buy groceries and providing high-quality, fresh products to our customers 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. We have recently opened our brand new Distribution Centre (DC) in Geldermalsen where the product is fruit and vegetables and the mission is to provide convenience, freshness, exceptional service and the finest produce to our customer.
With over 200 team members in each DC, everyone works hard to ensure timely delivery. Shoppers gather groceries, while lead shoppers and Supervisors lead and streamline operations. As an Operations Supervisor, you'll oversee daily operations in our DC and ensure our customers receive their groceries on time. You'll also have the chance to lead improvement projects to boost efficiency. Join us and make a difference!

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.
