🇩🇪 Internship in Germany 🛍️ E-Commerce & Digital Growth at a Design Studio 📈

Studio Pollina, a female-founded design studio in Germany, is looking for a tech-savvy, visually-oriented intern to take ownership of its digital storefront. If you love optimising digital spaces as much as they love physical ones, this E-Commerce & Digital Growth role is built for you.

About Studio Pollina

Studio Pollina curates furniture, lighting and objects meant to bring calm, clarity and quiet beauty into everyday life. Working as a trusted partner for architects, developers and everyday design lovers, the studio combines material knowledge with the principles of neuroarchitecture and healing design. It prioritises high-quality European manufacturing, circular-economy principles and sustainable products — and as the team puts it, they don't just curate design, they build communities.

The Role

Because this is a small, tight-knit team, everyone works with a strong teamwork mindset. Your primary focus will be the Shopify store and digital growth, but you'll frequently wear different hats, cross into other roles, and see exactly how a creative business runs from the inside out.

What You'll Do

🛍️ Visual merchandising & product management — uploading new products to Shopify and refining their appearance so the online shop reflects the high aesthetic standards of the physical showroom

📸 Photo editing — basic editing and retouching so every product image is crisp, consistent and beautifully presented

🔍 SEO & digital marketing — putting basic SEO strategies in place and, in time, taking on digital ad campaigns (Meta / Google Ads)

💻 Tech & analytics — basic HTML/CSS tweaks to improve site functionality, plus gathering and analysing data to track digital performance

🤝 Cross-functional teamwork — stepping in to help with events, marketing or administrative tasks and experiencing the full spectrum of the studio's operations
