Intermediate Industrial Designer – Creative Builder With Entrepreneurial Spirit

Intermediate Industrial Designer – Creative Builder with Entrepreneurial Spirit

Our vision is to make a healthy and sustainable lifestyle the most attractive choice. So we defy the status quo, misleading products, and nonsense rules! We truly believe in the power of ideas and are thirsty to realize the ones that could have impact. We're an eclectic bunch of creative minds, experts, builders, and improvers. Our perspectives, cultures, backgrounds, dreams, skills, and life paths may have nothing in common, but we gather behind a vision and sail together towards our ambitious goals.

Are you looking to take on a new challenge? Let's talk. As part of our innovation team, you will play a central role in exploring, testing, and launching new air up products. We're not just looking for a designer—we're looking for a builder, a doer, and someone excited to shape new opportunities from the ground up. You'll be joining an interdisciplinary team that generates business ideas, validates them with real users, and turns them into market-ready products. If you thrive in fast-changing environments, love to wear multiple hats, and bring both creativity and grit to the table, this might be your next big challenge.

This role is located in Munich.
