The People Team strives to revolutionize human resources in the same way that Picnic has shaken up grocery delivery. Our team supports over a thousand Picnic employees spread across three main locations: Amsterdam, Paris and Düsseldorf. As a People Intern your learning and development comes first: you will work closely with one of our People Partners who will introduce you to the fundamentals of what it means to support employees in a dynamic working environment! We value ownership, even in our most junior employees, and for this reason you will work on your very own projects - end-to-end. If you are ready to take on diverse challenges and see an internship as an opportunity to have a real impact on both your own development, and Picnic, then come join us!

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.
