As a Distribution Area Manager your mission is to improve operational performance at multiple Hub locations in the Netherlands in liaison with teams on the ground. As part of the distribution team, you will coach and grow Hub Managers to improve their daily operations in safety, customer experience, and process efficiency.

You may wonder what a Picnic Hub looks like. No worries, we'll explain! Our groceries are order picked at one of our Fulfilment Centers and then shipped to one of our Hubs by truck. We currently have +/- 60 Hubs in the Netherlands. At the Hub, our Runners take the frames with groceries from the truck and place them in one of our electric Picnic vehicles (ePvs). From there, the Runners drive to our customers and deliver the groceries to their doorsteps. A Hub is about 1500-2000 m2 and works with a team of 30 to 200 Runners. Watch this video for a better understanding of what happens at a Hub.

🎯 What you'll do

You will spot, mentor, and grow today’s and tomorrow’s leaders of our operations at Hub locations. You support our talented pool of Runners, Runner+, and Hub Managers to meet our challenging targets for safety, on-time delivery, and customer experience. To do so, you will be identifying key levers for growth and efficiency, translating feedback to concrete actions, and shepherding teams from zero to one to prepare them for a successful business. You are at the core of distribution operations, understanding all underlying strategies, systems, logistic processes, and equipment. You will get the responsibility to coach 5 or 6 Hubs and will travel frequently between these locations to see how the Hub and the Hub Managers are doing. When you’re not at a Hub you will work from our Amsterdam office or from home. You can find all current Hub locations here

You are a natural team player and a leader who loves to motivate and inspire large groups of people. You thrive in a fast-paced environment. You are always looking for ways to optimize processes, and you are data-driven in your approach. We do not necessarily look for people with retail experience. We seek people with the curiosity of a student, the mindset of a generalist, and the creativity of an entrepreneur to be able to design the retail industry of the future. Since we grow massively each year, everybody needs to be able to venture into unknown territories. If you thrive in such an environment and if you meet the requirements, Picnic is the right place for you!

Picnic perks

Every expert was once a beginner!

You’ll get plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself and grow, including the Picnic Tech Academy, Lunch & Learn sessions, and tailored soft skills training. We also offer free professional weekly language courses.

Make a difference

You’ll work in an awesome scale-up environment with the freedom to drive your own projects and create a visible impact.

Our fully electric vehicles and sustainable business model mean you’ll also be contributing to making the world a better place!

Teamwork makes the dream work

With more than 80 nationalities across 3 countries, you’ll be part of a diverse company with plenty of cool stuff to get involved with, from board game evenings to after-work drinks to our company ski trip and more!

You are what you eat

At our Headquarters you’ll get freshly prepared, healthy lunches and snacks (with plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and halal options). Coffee snob? Don’t worry, our amazing Picnic barista has you covered.

Stay healthy

Mental health is important. As well as having the option to speak with Picnic colleagues who act as confidential advisors, our collaboration with OpenUp gives you easy access to professional psychologists, along with workshops and materials.

There are plenty of sports communities and events to get involved with, from tennis to yoga to climbing!

Attractive package

We offer competitive compensation and a pension plan that looks out for your future self as well as 25 vacation days per year, so you can recharge your batteries. Since travelling to different Hubs is part of the job, a lease car will be available to you.

Work-life balance

Where possible, we like to enable people to work in ways that suit their working styles, which is why we have a hybrid-working model. Our teams generally like to have at least one team day per week at the office (the tasty lunch and Barista-made coffee may be a factor), but besides that, it’s up to you and your team.

Our mission is to make grocery shopping simple, fun, and affordable for everyone. Beyond that, we love working towards a greener future by using cutting-edge warehouse technologies and running a 100% electrical fleet of delivery vans. Are you ready to join this unique technology-first venture?

As Picnic is relatively small, and because we’re growing so fast – you’re given responsibility straight away. Two weeks after I started, I was doing the order forecasts. That’s a lot of responsibility. Many of our processes rely on the forecasting; the products we buy, the shoppers…
