Working Student Purchasing (m/f/d)

In a nutshell

As an online supermarket, the heart of our business is, of course, the Picnic app. The Purchasing team ensures that our digital shelves in all 6 regions are perfectly stocked with local products.

As a working student, you are the operational backbone of our team. With logical thinking and smart automation tools, you make our processes a little better every day. You work closely with Category, Brand, and cross-functional teams to resolve supply bottlenecks, check data, and ensure that our app is always perfectly maintained for our customers.

What awaits you

• Article Creation & Onboarding: You will be responsible for the setup and creation of new products in the system and ensure that all necessary information is correct from day one and ready for our customers.
• Tool Support & Validation: You will support the introduction and use of our new automation tool. As an important instance for quality control, you critically question processes and ensure that system outputs are correct.
• Product Performance Monitoring: You will keep a close eye on sales and stock anomalies. If a top-priority item isn't selling or is shown as unavailable, you'll dive into the system to find the cause so that our digital shelves always achieve maximum revenue.
• Content & Storefront Optimization: If incomplete product presentations hinder sales, you react quickly and tactically – for example, by quickly fixing missing product photos or incomplete item information in the app.
• Supply Chain & Inbound Coordination: You will support the team with daily commercial questions about the supply chain and clarify problems with product delivery to ensure a smooth process in your categories.
• Teamwork: You offer strong operational support across various priority levels and work hand in hand with the entire Category team to optimally balance daily tasks.
