Creative Graphic Designer
albelli-Photobox Group, Netherlands
Job Description
Who We Are
albelli and Photobox Group have merged to create a leading player in the online European photo product and gifting market. Together we now serve a pan-European customer base of over 7 million customers, supported by our 1,150 colleagues across the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Germany, Norway and Sweden.
We’re in the business of ‘one-of-a-kind’ products, so delighting each and every customer is central to everything we do. We focus on inspiring our customers to make beautiful photo products and bring their memorable moments to life.
We face all the traditional challenges and opportunities of a classic e-commerce provider, however, all of our products are bespoke and printed on demand. We provide customers tooling both to create beautiful products quickly, but also to create unique and complex designs. This brings with it the need for a flexible, yet easy to use, creation capability to enable our users to personalise their purchases to their heart’s content.
We're currently building out our tech, product and design teams. We ask that the team spend a minimum of 10% of their month in the office, but team members typically choose to spend 1-2 days a week in person with colleagues. We have offices based across London, Amsterdam and Barcelona and you can apply for this role from any of those locations.
