Workspace Coordinator (m/f/d)
Berlin, Germany

Diversify our future 

We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It’s what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future. 

We see you, we celebrate you, we want you!

Who we are

You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great-smelling, privately-owned and family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good. We fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that what’s inside counts - whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone. 

Who we are looking for

What is the aim of a Lush Workspace? To create a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere that facilitates creativity and productivity of user’s, enabling them to deliver their best pieces of work.

By engaging staff, communicating global messages, hosting branded events and constant storytelling, the Lush Studios will bring the 5* customer experience to the heart of the spaces we work in wherever they may be in the world.

As the Lush Berlin Workspace Coordinator, you will run the spaces like it is your own business.
