Hands-on, data-driven and with real impact. It's waiting for you Year 1: Operational Basics & Leadership as Operations Supervisor Onboarding & Entry: You start with a structured onboarding, build a strong network and get to know our Fulfillment Center (FC) from scratch. Layer line in FC: At approx. 3-4 days a week, you take the responsibility of a shift as Operation Supervisor. You plan, coordinate and run your team - and experience how operational decisions have direct influence on our teams and performance from the first day. Leadership & Coaching: Through mentoring, training on leadership, feedback and motivation, you learn how to develop people, create clarity and master challenging situations. Own projects with Impact: You identify optimization potentials in operational everyday life and implement independent improvement projects on your 1-2 project days, increase productivity, simplify processes and permanently solve bottlenecks. Year 2: Leadership with effect across locations as Operations Manager (Inter)national Perspective: Take the chance and bring your knowledge to other Picnic sites - nationally or internationally - or get to know another department along our supply chain. You take responsibility in a new environment with new teams and grow beyond you. Focus on projects: In addition to your approx. 1-2 shift days per week you work on 3-4 days in cross-site initiatives, e.g. optimizing our ordering processes or supporting new (automated) FCs. With your operational know-how and your analytical view, you will raise our supply chain to the next level. Your next step: After the Fast Track, many doors are open to you: as an experienced Operations Manager or in other positions within Picnic.
