Associate Product Manager Program

Associate Product Manager Program

Make your mark on the future of groceries

Forget everything you know about grocery shopping. At Picnic, we’re revolutionizing an entire industry with our sustainable, online supermarket. We're growing at an incredible pace, driven by a team of creative, tech-savvy, and ambitious people. To fuel our next wave of innovation, we're launching our Associate Product Manager (APM) Program.

This isn't your average entry-level job. This is a launchpad for the next generation of product leaders. We’re looking for brilliant, entrepreneurial minds to join us on a mission to build the best milkman on earth. Are you ready to take a seat at the table and build products that millions of people will use every day?

The Program: Your product deep dive

The Picnic APM Program is an immersive 18 months experience across our consumer products, designed to turn talented graduates and early-career professionals into world-class product managers. From day one, you’ll be in the driver's seat, owning critical projects and shipping features that have an immediate impact.

Your Journey

• Foundations & rotations: Your first year is dedicated to building a strong foundation, working closely with a lead Product Manager on a core product. You will learn the tricks of the trade, focusing on everything ranging from user research and analysis to technical implementation. After the first year, you’ll broaden your expertise with a six-month rotation in another consumer-facing team.

• Focus on the Consumer Experience: You'll dive deep into the heart of our products. Your rotations will be within consumer teams, where you could be shaping the future of our Store app, innovating on our personalization platform, refining search and ranking algorithms, or optimizing our payment systems.

• Dedicated Mentorship: Learn from the best. You'll be paired with a senior product leader who will act as your mentor, guiding your development, challenging your thinking, and helping you navigate your career path.

• Continuous Learning: Your program kicks off with 2 days in our operations to see firsthand how we deliver to our customers. Next is meeting your team. From day one, you’ll own projects and ship features, supported by a continuous curriculum of trainings, workshops, and skill-building sessions.

• Global Perspective: During the program, you'll travel to one of our international hubs. You'll meet with local teams, conduct user research, and dive deep into how technology and customer needs differ across markets, bringing back insights to shape our global product strategy.

• Launch Your Career: The APM Program is just the beginning. Upon graduation, we'll work with you to find the perfect product team where you can continue to grow and make a long-term impact as a Product Manager at Picnic.

Your superpowers

We’re looking for future leaders who are hungry to learn, eager to build, and passionate about our mission. You don’t need years of product management experience, but you do need to show us you have the raw talent and drive to succeed.

• Master's graduate, or have up to two years of professional experience, with a background in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Builder at heart. You've taken initiative and created something from scratch—whether that's a side project, a new club, or your own startup.
• Natural curiosity and empathy for users. You want to understand, are always asking "why", and think about how to make things better.
• Go-getter personality. You're biased toward action and constantly pushing toward clarity and delivery.

*EU citizenship or valid visa to work in the EU

Note: This is not a one-time hire. We’re hiring for this role throughout the year as part of our ongoing growth and expansion.

Why Picnic?

• Invent the future: We’re not just improving an industry; we’re rebuilding it from scratch. You'll work on challenges no one has solved before.

• Hands-on from day one: We believe in doing, not just theorizing. You'll get your hands dirty, build real things, and see your impact immediately.

• Learn by doing, together: We do, we fail, we learn. You'll work side-by-side with top-notch colleagues who will challenge and support you every day.

• A sustainable mission: Join a company committed to making the world a better place, one electric vehicle at a time.

• Have fun along the way: We celebrate our successes with legendary parties, team events, and free daily lunches.
