Who are we?

We are Vinokilo.

We are a growing team on a mission to make secondhand fashion more desirable than new, fast fashion. Why? Because we believe fashion should be stylish and sustainable.
We are based in Bodenheim, a beautiful town in the middle of wine country, 12 km south of downtown Mainz on the edge of the Frankfurt-Rhine Main Region. Our proximity to the airport and our central European location makes us open to the world.

The impact you will create at Vinokilo:

We are looking for energetic and motivated individuals to join our Ecommerce operations team for the fields' fulfilment, production or steaming. You will play a huge part in building the world's biggest secondhand fashion online store, by working hand in hand to create a positive internal and external impact for Vinokilo.

As a working student, you will be responsible for

Fulfilment: 

  • Packaging all our vintage treasures
  • Coordinating returns
  • Answering customer requests and questions online

Production:

  • Titling all our hand-picked vintage treasures for our online store

Steaming: 

  • Smooth workflow with our steaming machine
  • Steaming all our hand-picked vintage treasures
  • Making sure they look nice and tight for our online store

 

    You’ll love this role because: 

    • You’ll be playing a leading role in the fight against fast fashion.
    • You're passionate about sustainability and secondhand fashion. 
    • Your work will be meaningful, challenging, and have a tangible impact on the future of Vinokilo. 
    • You’ll get to work with a diverse team of individuals, all passionate about the impact we’re collectively creating. 
    • You value long term profitability and sustainability over short term gains.
    • We are based in one of the most stunning areas with the beautiful countryside on our doorstep, yet a short hop, skip and a jump away from Mainz, and the hustle and bustle of Frankfurt and its International airport. 
    • We believe in working flexibly and putting the onus on you to create a schedule that works for you and the company. 

    What we need you to have:

    • A learning attitude and independent work ethic 
    • Ability to work in a team
    • Concise and effective communication
    • Productivity

    NB: We know lots of people, especially women and minorities, do not apply for roles unless they hit all the requirements listed in the job descriptions —these are normally wish lists. We've tried to simplify this list into what we actually NEED you to have and what would be nice. Either way, if you feel this is your role, we want to hear from you. 

    What we'd be excited if you have:

    • Experience in the specific warehouse operations field
    • Willingness to speak English and German

    What we bring to the table

    Vinokilo offers the opportunity to work with a vibrant and diverse group of people, building a product we all deeply care about, in addition to:

    • Learning and Growth: We focus on the growth of each individual and support internal workshops with guest speakers, external workshops and programs to improve our employees’ qualifications and enhance their journey with us.
    • Wellbeing: We always have a basket of healthy fruits and snacks in the office. We like to outsource our meetings and, whenever possible, enrich them with a balanced breakfast. Our smoothie maker is ready for you to get your daily dose of vitamins.
      The train station is approx. a 5-minute walk away. If you have a car, you can also benefit from our free parking spaces.
    • Generous time off: 20 vacation days + public holidays. Furthermore, it is important to us to enable each employee to have the opportunity to participate in important holidays within the framework of his or her beliefs or convictions. 
    • Work-Life Balance: We offer flexible working (based on your team) and our office is dog-friendly!
    • Sustainability: Need new clothes? Profit from our vintage stock with your staff discount.
      You can also prepare your lunch in our kitchen, so you don't have to resort to takeaway/fast food.
      We offer a shared wardrobe for our employees, where you can drop off clothes you don't want anymore and pick up items from others.
    • Fun: We love to celebrate our successes at Vinokilo. We have amazing winter and summer parties and also host internal employee socials such as quiz night, games night, movie nights and more.
