Summary of the Junior Graphic Designer | Scale-up | Centre of Rotterdam job at Monday Merch

Junior Graphic Designer

Start date: 1 October, flexible
Type: Full-time, 40 hours/week
Location: Rotterdam

At Monday Merch, we’re changing the way companies create, manage, and scale branded merchandise. From onboarding kits to event giveaways and custom webshops, we help ambitious brands turn merch into something people actually want to use.

We’re looking for a Junior Graphic Designer with a sharp eye for detail, a strong sense of layout and branding, and the energy to learn fast in a growing company. In this role, you’ll work on real client projects from day one: creating merch concepts, visual assets, mockups, campaign materials, and production-ready files.

You’ll be part of a hands-on creative team where ideas move quickly, feedback is direct, and your work can go from screen to physical product in a short amount of time. If you’re excited by design that is both creative and practical, this could be a great next step.

What you’ll do:
• Create tailored merchandise concepts and mockups for a wide range of clients
• Design brand and marketing assets for our website, social media, paid campaigns, email, and sales materials
• Translate creative briefs into strong visual concepts together with marketing, sales, and account management
• Help maintain a consistent Monday Merch look and feel across all touchpoints
• Prepare print-ready files and check that designs meet production requirements
• Support the creative team with day-to-day design tasks, feedback rounds, and client revisions

What we’re looking for
• A degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, or a strong portfolio with relevant experience
• Good knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign
• Experience with Figma is a plus
• A portfolio that shows strong typography, layout, colour use, branding, and visual storytelling
• Someone who is organized, proactive, and comfortable working on multiple projects at once
• A designer who can explain creative choices clearly and is open to feedback
• Interest in branding, merchandise, print, marketing, and production

What we offer
• A junior design role with real responsibility from day one
• Guidance, feedback, and room to grow within a fast-moving creative team
• The chance to see your designs become real physical products used by companies across Europe
• A young, ambitious team in the centre of Rotterdam
• Free lunch, team events, and plenty of fresh merch
• Competitive salary plus holiday allowance

Portfolio request
Please include a portfolio with your application. We’d love to see examples of branding, merch concepts, social visuals, typography, layout work, or print-ready design projects.
