Job description

Our purpose

Every year, billions of clothing items are produced but never sold. Much of this unworn fashion ends up in landfills – a massive waste of creativity, craftsmanship, resources, and investment. We're here to change that. As a purpose-led company, we use technology to help fashion brands give every item a chance to be worn. And we’re proud to be a certified B Corp – recognized for meeting high standards of social and environmental impact, transparency, and accountability.

How we work

We’re a purpose-driven scale-up, based in Amsterdam and active across Europe, with a diverse and international team. Our mission is simple: sell unsold inventory. Otrium values a healthy work-life balance. We have adopted a flexible hybrid way of working, encouraging our team members to come to our open, spacious, plant-filled Amsterdam HQ at the waterside of Houthavens at least twice a week. Full-time office presence is welcomed, and you’re empowered to organise your schedule in a way that works for you and the team.

Your impact

• As our People & Culture Intern, you'll be at the heart of what makes Otrium a great place to work. From the moment a new colleague walks through the door, you'll have helped shape their experience!
• You'll play a hands-on role in bringing our team culture to life, supporting events and engagement initiatives that keep our diverse, international team connected and energised.
• Through your work in recruitment, you'll help us find the next wave of passionate people who want to make fashion more sustainable — directly contributing to the growth of our mission-driven team.
• You'll gain real exposure to how a purpose-led, B Corp-certified scale-up runs its people operations, working with live data, real processes, and a team that genuinely cares about doing things right.

• At the risk of stating the obvious: being a people person! (hard requirement)
• Flexible, curious, open-to-learn, tech-savvy, open for a challenge... with a great sense of humour!
