Join — Research Intern
February 2025 — June 2025
At Momkai, the strategic design agency, we're welcoming a research intern to join our international team. Help us empower communities and build new brands, with a passion for in-depth research and out-of-the-box thinking, guided by a strong moral compass.
Join us to help mission-driven organizations across Europe, US, and Japan. So far, we’ve helped launch global platforms, break crowdfunding world records, and build impactful brands. With the help of our new research intern, we know we can do even more.
Memberful design
Momkai is an award-winning strategic design agency that focuses on building membership-based communities around meaningful missions. Our global clients past and present include Adyen, Red Bull, Nike, the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB), Urban Land Institute, Imperial College London, and New York University. The team worked closely with the founders of VanMoof, Bugaboo, Oncode Institute, Swapfiets and Renews Japan. Momkai helped to co-found, design, and build De Correspondent, now the 3rd largest membership journalism platform in the world (and a client for over 10 years).
We focus on memberful design — or empowering groups of people to take action together around a shared purpose. As the Momkai team, we help changemakers and founders to achieve this. Thanks to our four-year collaboration with New York University, we've learned that this approach provides a better, healthier, and more sincere route to sustainability. That’s how we became the home of memberful design.

Spark ideas
We are looking for a talented research intern with a passion for digital trends and innovation to provide a strong basis for the work we do as a strategic design team. You help spark new ideas and think out-of-the-box — guided by a strong moral compass. Academic research capabilities and strong writing skills are an advantage, since you will work on real projects from the start.
At Momkai, you will be welcomed by a close-knit team, who will do anything in their power to make you feel at home and help you develop yourself. During your internship, you will be mentored by an experienced strategist, who will help you set and achieve your internship goals. Together, you will research new projects, prospects, markets and trends, all captured in structured documents and dynamic presentations.
