Supply Chain Management Traineeship - Fast Track to Leadership (September 2026)

Fast Track to Leadership in Supply Chain Management

Are you (almost) graduated and looking to make a significant impact in a dynamic, fast-growing environment? Join us on a journey to shape the future of grocery shopping!

During this program, you’ll dive into all operational aspects of Picnic. You’ll be coached to become a leader in one of the Fulfilment Centers and learn to supervise 100+ people per day. Over time, you will also take on increasing project responsibility, helping to improve the overall efficiency of the FCs and supply chain. You can take full ownership of those projects, and it’s OK to make mistakes.

You will develop your soft skills through training sessions and on-the-job learning, including topics such as providing constructive feedback, discovering your leadership style, and managing projects from A to Z. You will also strengthen your hard skills through the use of tech and analytical tools.
