About Us

We are Mous. People deserve tech and lifestyle products that are fit for purpose, perform as promised and allow them to be their best. So, we are building the go-to brand refreshingly focused on product so people can have just that. We have consistently built our in-house expertise and spent millions in research and development on our relentless pursuit to making the best products possible. Over the past ten years we have flipped the tech accessory market on its head, raising the standards and people's expectations. We've made cases that can protect phones dropped from cranes, engineered magnetic accessory ecosystems before MagSafe even launched, partnered with Google to make super thin cases, developed impact materials and waterproof constructions to make backpacks that confidently protect laptops and we're only just getting started!

We're creating products that empower people to be their best, whether they're on a wild adventure or commuting through the city. No matter what your everyday life looks like you can trust our products to remove frustrations, expand your experiences and help you to live without limits.

In particular, this role will work closely with our Head of Content and content team to help shape how we communicate to our German customers. Join us to make a tangible impact in an untapped area of the business and drive our future internationalisation roadmap.

About You

You are an individual who is preferably German but might also speak German as a first language. You are good in front of a camera as you will quickly become the face of our German presence. You are a generalist; you thrive working on varied projects and have a diverse skill set. You are a proactive - you don't wait to be told what to do - and you thrive on working with a variety of people. You have a strong bias to action and can coordinate teams to achieve common goals.

• Strong team-working skills
• Confidence in front of camera (to record hooks for our ads)
• Confidence on a microphone (to record voice-overs)
• Strong organisation, with the ability to run processes and improvement cycles
• Scrappy and determined to see projects through to completion
• Nice-to-haves (we can train the correct candidate):
• Knowledge of video and photo-editing software
• Knowledge of ad platforms (Meta Ads, Google Ads)
• Knowledge of Shopify
• A keen interest in data analysis
• What's in it for you?
• Be part of a passionate team with significant growth opportunities
• Drive innovation in a new area of the business, where no 2 days are the same
• Collaborate with an exciting brand and be a part of our journey

About Our Values

• Get Results

By comprehending our business plan, each person can ensure that they are taking accountability for their contribution towards it. We value strategic prioritisation, ensuring that everyone is enabled to deliver their best work. We also champion traits such as innovation, grit and resilience - we think differently and aren't afraid to fail.

• Work Together

We value collaboration highly, recognising that there's a lot to be learned from each other, and are always prepared to listen. We encourage regular peer feedback, readily praising great work as well as challenging one another candidly. We like to celebrate what makes us both unique and united, committing to regular IDEA initiatives and finding opportunities to support our local communities.

• Enjoy The Ride

We invite everyone at Mous to grab new opportunities and find ways to make each role their own. Things can change fast in an unpredictable industry like ours, so we always want to stay agile. And of course we don't just work hard - we also like to let our hair down and enjoy the more social aspects of being part of our brilliant team!

About Our Commitment

Mous is an equal opportunity employer, and as a brand, we value authenticity and integrity. We strive to be different and know that if we are to create the most innovative products and deliver the best customer experience, we need to build a diverse team of individuals who can bring a variety of skills, experiences, and perspectives to the table. No matter your age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, or physical ability, at Mous, your individuality is celebrated.

As a D2C business and heavy user of plastics, we understand (and take very seriously) our responsibility to the planet. To stay true to our word, we've placed "Planet" firmly in our key business objectives and have formed a dedicated team, alongside our cofounders, to build an ESG plan we're proud of. Ultimately, we want to create a better world through our actions and we're doing so across our products, how we transport from A to B, and socially.
