Internship — Operations & Projects Assistant | London

Who we are

Malka London is a premium headwear brand, designed and made in London. Since 2021, we’ve crowned over 10,000 women all around the world.

Malka means “Queen” in Hebrew. Our mission: to make every woman who puts on a crown feel exactly like that, no matter what her hair journey is.

The role

I’m looking for a serious, mature intern to support me during an important growth period for the brand. This is not a typical internship: you’ll be involved in real projects, with real responsibilities, working directly alongside me, the founder.

If you’re looking to tick a box on your CV, this isn’t for you. If you want to learn how an independent brand is built from the inside, keep reading.

⚠️ This internship is hybrid and requires your physical presence in London. Please only apply if you are already based in London or the surrounding area.
