Job description

Moco isn't like any other museum. We started in Amsterdam, expanded to Barcelona, and after receiving +5 million visitors are now shaking things up in London. Our goal? To make art, fun, bold, and for everyone. At Moco, we showcase work by icons like Basquiat, Warhol, Kusama and street legends like Banksy, whose art challenges power and speaks to the people.

We celebrate the voices that are not always found in traditional museums, from the streets to the digital world and beyond. Our spaces are filled with immersive art, powerful messages and a playful spirit. We believe in breaking the rules, thinking differently, and making art that connects with real life. Our team is made up of curious, passionate people who love creativity, community, and doing things with heart. You don't need to be an art expert, just open minded, energetic, and ready to be part of something exciting.

WHAT MOCO OFFERS

Beneath our brand's surface, at Moco Museum we are a team that thrives on creativity, inclusivity and collaboration. Each of us brings unique ideas, experiences and perspectives that shape the way we work, adapt and grow.

Always building something new and forward-looking, giving you the chance to develop your career while being part of a Company that embraces change and celebrates fresh ideas. We approach challenges and successes together, with a mindset of continuous learning and innovation.

Beyond the work itself, we create space to connect and enjoy our time as colleagues, from Friday drinks to team building activities, making Moco a workplace where our people feel involved and motivated. Here you will find more than just a job, you will find a place to belong.

In addition, we provide the following benefits:

• We offer you €500,- per month during this internship
• A high energy work environment that will keep you on your toes and inspire you to think outside the box
• A fun and social annual engagement calendar of internal team events
• Exclusive discount on merchandize and admission to enjoy our art with your loved ones
• Opportunity to develop yourself and to execute your ideas
