Sales Support & Backoffice

Overview

VANMOKUM is on the lookout for the best industrial designer to support its creative team. You’ll be working as an all-round intern for a period of 5 months. Here you’ll be part of our creative department and involved in everything that has to do with production design. Your opinion and input is much appreciated and an experience like this will serve as an excellent foundation for your future as a designer.

The focus is on product design, product development, and brand building. Besides this, you will also work on developing the context of a product (like packaging design etc.). You will have the opportunity to work on projects of famous designers like Piet Hein Eek and Richard Hutten and therefore contribute a little bit to the design history.

We’re looking for someone that is dedicated to their projects, is a fast learner and likes to take initiative. Do you describe yourself as ambitious, motivated, adaptable and independent but also a great team-player? Yep, than we’re looking for you. A passion for design and technology speaks for itself, but you also need a high tolerance of stress and your sense of detail and overview must be in balance (just as your creativity and engineering skills).

Period: beginning of September till February 2019. (other periods can be discussed)

From our studio in Amsterdam we design, develop and admire beautiful and unique products. Our own brands are LEFF amsterdam, Droog, Frama, Karven, Graypants and our latest asset:
Soundskins. Every brand represents a different style and has their own story – one that you’ll be representing. Besides producing our own labels, we’re also distributor for several other design brands. This means our team covers inside and outside sales, PR and the full distribution. We sell to high-end design and interior stores, museum stores, department stores and several project customers like hotels, clubs and restaurants.

To conclude:
You’ll be working for not one, but several amazing brands! We collaborate with renowned designers from all over the world to create unique products. For every project we have the ambition to create a design classic.

You live in Amsterdam or you are willing to move/travel to this beautiful city…and (more importantly) love friday afternoon drinks!
