pick’em turned flavoured toothpicks into a multimillion-euro brand, with nearly 100 million toothpicks sold, 500 million organic views and thousands of stores across Europe.
Now we’re building a confectionery universe beyond toothpicks, including a new category still under wraps.
We’re expanding our design team and looking for an unusually talented early-career designer to help bring the next chapter of pick’em to life.
The opportunity
- Work closely with our Head of Design to develop and execute ideas across the entire brand
- Create work that will be seen by millions of people and appear in thousands of stores
- Follow projects from the first concept through to production and launch
- Design across packaging, 3D, e-commerce, retail, campaigns, merchandise, and physical experiences
- Take on more creative responsibility as your capabilities grow
This role is built for someone at the beginning of an ambitious design career. You do not need to have mastered every discipline already. We care about the quality of your work, your fundamentals and how quickly you learn, not the number of years on your CV.
What you’ll work on
- Develop packaging concepts alongside our Head of Design, CEO and COO
- Extend the pick’em identity across new flavours, formats and product categories
- Adapt packaging for different products, markets and retail partners
- Create accurate dielines, artwork and print-ready production files
- Review print proofs, colours, materials and product samples
- Produce 3D product renders, prototypes and campaign visuals
- Design websites, landing pages and e-commerce experiences
- Help bring digital designs to life in Shopify using modern development and AI tools
- Create supermarket displays and other point-of-sale materials
- Design assets for product launches, campaigns and social media
- Work on presentations, merchandise, events and pop-ups
- Help keep the brand consistent across every physical and digital touchpoint
Who we’re looking for
You might be a recent graduate, self-taught designer, freelancer or currently in your first or second full-time design role.
What matters is that your portfolio makes us stop scrolling.
You should have:
- Exceptional visual taste and strong design fundamentals
- A sharp eye for typography, composition, colour and detail
- The ability to work across different visual styles
- Some experience with packaging or print design, including freelance, university or self-initiated projects
- Experience creating 3D product visuals in Blender or a similar tool
- Confidence working in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud
- The ability to take creative direction while contributing your own ideas
- A fast, structured and highly self-directed way of working
- An interest in what makes design commercially effective
- Professional English; German is not required
Strong additions
These are helpful, but not required:
- Experience with FMCG, food, confectionery or consumer brands
- Shopify, web design or no-code development experience
- Experience using AI tools in your creative workflow
- Knowledge of retail, e-commerce or social-first brands
- Motion design, photography, video editing or illustration skills
You do not need to tick every box. Show us what you are exceptional at and what you want to learn next.
What you’ll receive
- Remote-first work from wherever you are, provided you overlap with Berlin and London
- The option to work regularly from our Berlin or London office
- Flexible working hours
- Unlimited vacation
- A MacBook and Apple Studio Display
- A learning and inspiration budget
- A fitness or wellbeing membership
- The option for equity to be part of your package
- Direct collaboration with our Head of Design and founding team
- The opportunity to take on meaningful creative responsibility early in your career
We meet in person roughly once or twice per month. The role may also involve occasional travel for supplier visits, production, retail launches or events.
How to apply
Send us your portfolio. That’s the application. No cover letter is required.

Our process:
1. Portfolio review
2. Conversation with the team
3. Short, paid design challenge
4. Final conversation
We will align on compensation expectations before asking you to complete a challenge.
If you have exceptional taste, learn frighteningly fast and want your work to reach millions, we want to see it.
