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
