About JDLSOURCING

We are an international production partner for brands that want to stand out. From custom-made merchandise to premium packaging and next-level giveaways. We translate ideas into physical products that show up at events, in stores, marketing campaigns and across social media. We work for fast-growing startups and established A-brands in hospitality, FMCG, sport, retail and fashion. With our own teams in China and Europe, we make the difference in speed, quality and reliability. Our clients include KTM, PepsiCo, Jamin, Uber Eats and more!

Who we are looking for

Are you creative, do you have a sharp eye for design, and do you love nothing more than experimenting with the newest AI tools all day long? Nice. We are looking for an intern who doesn’t just use AI for fun, but to make our designs, mock-ups, and processes faster and smarter. Do you flawlessly understand which look & feel suits a brand and can you visualize this at lightning speed? Let’s go. 👇

Job Description

You will become our in-house AI and design pioneer, bridging the gap between creative concepts and efficient technology. You won’t just design cool merch and packaging, but you’ll also take a critical look at how we do it.

What you’ll be doing

  • AI Concepting: You continuously design and visualize new merchandise and product ideas for both existing and new clients. You have genuine taste and flawlessly sense which design (and which prompt!) matches a specific brand’s identity.

  • Mock-up Magic: You use smart AI tools to drastically speed up our mock-up process for packaging and merchandise.

  • Sleek Processes: You help build and standardize product design templates, enabling the entire team to work faster and more consistently.

  • Next-level Tech: You think bigger than just design. You proactively brainstorm AI automations and agents to make our internal processes even smarter.

What we expect from you

  • You have a rock-solid sense of aesthetics, branding, and design. You know what’s trending right now and what brands love.

  • Tools like Claude, Midjourney, and similar AI generators hold few secrets for you. Additionally, you are perfectly comfortable with the basics of Canva and Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop/Illustrator).

  • You see what needs to be done and you take action. You don’t wait around for someone to give you a task; you take the lead yourself.

  • You are a tech optimist: You love figuring out how new tools can make our work easier or better.

🎁 What’s in it for you?

  • Internship Allowance: Internship compensation to be discussed based on the number of days available per week.

  • A versatile internship with plenty of room to pioneer with new software and make a real impact on our way of working.

  • Working on cool concepts for well-known brands (and ultimately holding your own designs as physical products!).

  • A beautiful workspace in Amsterdam’s Amstelkwartier with a young and ambitious team. No slow corporate hierarchy—just a down-to-earth environment with great energy, speed, and a focus on the right things.

  • Team lunches, Friday afternoon drinks (vrijmibo’s), team outings, and flexibility with your vacations.

  • Building your portfolio.

  • A strong chance of a permanent (part-time) job or freelance gigs after your internship!

🗓️ The Details:

  • Start date: Immediately, or starting in August/September (through Jan/Feb).

🚀 No-Nonsense Application Process:

No waiting around for months, no three nerve-wracking interview rounds. Just a quick and honest look to see if we click.

  • Step 1: Spend 2 minutes filling out the form via this link: [https://airtable.com/appZgxxWdRQsASvPi/pagsIdhWwfHoUZk0A/form]

  • Step 2: No automated robot emails or weeks of silence. We will let you know within 24 hours if we’re going to schedule a call.

  • Step 3: Good vibes during the call? Then we’ll invite you straight to our Amsterdam office, and you might just become our newest team member!
