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.

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.

• 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
