UX Designer (Mobile App) - Early Careers

At Picnic, we’re designing an affordable, hassle-free grocery service for the many. We believe everyone should be able to enjoy the benefits of ordering groceries online. Spend less time on errands and more time on what truly matters.
To offer this user-friendly proposition we are revolutionizing the logistical backbone of our service. A data driven and hyper efficient way of distributing goods enables us to cut down on food waste and energy usage in substantial ways.

If you’re a passionate UX Designer, we’re offering you the opportunity to join the diverse team at our Amsterdam HQ and make a real difference in a fast scaling environment.   

🥜 In a nutshell

Within the consumer domain we shape all shopping interactions within our mobile app used by hundreds of thousands on a daily basis. We design features in collaboration with our users that truly fit their everyday needs. This is especially interesting for grocery shopping since our customers make large amounts of very personal buying decisions, every week again. Taking care of themselves and their loved ones by ensuring a stocked up fridge and cooking a healthy variety of meals. 

Next to being part of specific product teams, we also form a company wide UX guild. UX at Picnic covers many topics: from enterprise products and automated warehouses, to e-commerce platforms and even physical products like a custom built electric vehicle. As a distributed group of UX designers and thinkers, we come together to align and ensure an unprecedented customer experience in e-commerce. Next to that it is also just a lot of fun to connect with UX peeps regularly ;)
