Working Student - Visual Design

In a nutshell

We are looking for a passionate and creative Visual Designer Working Student to join one of our creative teams at our Amsterdam HQ. Depending on your interests and strengths, you’ll have the opportunity to join either our Design or Branding team, supporting projects such as weekly newsletters, organic and paid social campaigns, app campaigns, and work that shapes and strengthens Picnic’s visual identity.

You’ll collaborate with a powerhouse Creative team of 20+ diverse specialists, including motion designers, videographers, copywriters, and brand designers. Together, you’ll create high-impact work that doesn’t just sit in a folder—our campaigns launch weekly across the Netherlands, France, and Germany, reaching millions of screens.

Note: this is not a UX/UI design job.

• Familiar with Adobe Suite (Photoshop and Illustrator) and Figma
• Self-starter with a “roll up your sleeves” attitude
• Eager to learn in a fast-paced environment
