Wakuli. Impacting the world with exciting coffee.

While consumers are paying too much for low-quality coffee, farmers are earning below what they need to sustain their livelihoods.

That's why we are all about selling the best coffee – not just in taste, but also in fair pay for the farmers we work with. Our beans are traceable to the farm and poured by us in your cup or freshly delivered at home through your mailbox. We are a no-nonsense, ambitious start-up with a profound mission: impacting the world with exciting coffee.

We are building the new coffee brand of the 21st century with a team of like-minded innovators and investors from all over the world.

Your role

As Junior Designer at Wakuli, you’ll help make sure our brand looks amazing everywhere. Both online as offline (our coffee bars). You’ll work on all sorts of projects—like designing for social media, email campaigns, our website as well as creating packaging and in-store visuals. We’re looking for a proper allround designer that is eager to learn and get their hands dirty. Your designs will play a big part in showing the world what Wakuli is all about. So whether it’s an internal presentation or assets for a big campaign, you’ll make sure it looks great and does what it needs to do. 

You’ll be working within the creative team to bring ideas to life, making sure everything we put out is high quality and on-brand. You will report to our creative director and work in the creative team alongside our videographer, medior designer and design intern.
