Visual Designer E-mail | Junior

Job Description:

You'll become the kind of designer who can build 50 perfect emails while others are still tweaking one.

We're looking for someone to join our Albert Heijn email team. This isn't a creative exploration role – it's high-volume production work where precision and speed matter more than artistic vision. But here's what makes it valuable: you'll master email design at a scale most designers never see.

What you'll actually do:

• Build 10-15 emails per week in Figma (yes, really)
• Transform briefings and product shots into on-brand templates
• Catch mistakes before they reach 2 million inboxes
• Coordinate with developers and account teams in a tight production rhythm
• Learn to work fast without breaking things

You'll thrive here if you:

• Have graphic/multimedia training (MBO/HBO) and basic Figma skills
• Get satisfaction from doing repetitive work exceptionally well
• Are the kind of person who triple-checks before hitting send
• Can handle pressure without freezing (deadlines are real here)
• Want to learn by doing – a lot of doing
• Actually enjoy structure and systems (chaos people struggle here)

What you get:

• Scale: Your work reaches millions weekly. That's rare for a junior role.
• Speed: You'll learn more in 6 months here than 2 years elsewhere.
• Foundation: Master production excellence before moving to concept work.
• Team: Work with people who geek out on email design automation.
• Growth path: This is the entry point. Where you go next is up to you.

The reality check:

This is not a creative playground. It's production discipline. High volume, tight deadlines, zero tolerance for errors. Some people love this rhythm. Some people hate it.

If you read this and think "that sounds like my kind of challenge," you're probably right for this.
