CAREERS AT OBAKKI

We are a small, highly collaborative group working across design, storytelling, hospitality, and global sourcing. The pace is fast, the standards are high, and the work is deeply rewarding.

If you are driven by purpose, curious about the world, and motivated by creating thoughtful work with real impact, you will feel at home here. A formal degree matters less to us than integrity, initiative, creativity, and the ability to execute. 

We value people who are curious about the world, passionate about impact, and motivated by working closely with others to create meaningful change.

Obakki is a purpose-led design brand built on long-term partnerships with artisans and communities around the world. We believe beautiful objects carry stories, responsibility, and impact, and that design and business can be a force for connection when approached thoughtfully.

Our work goes far beyond product. We collaborate closely with artisans, reinvesting net proceeds back into their communities to support sustainable livelihoods, infrastructure, and long-term growth where needed. We focus on partnership, not charity, and on building systems that allow craft and culture to thrive while strengthening local economies.

We care deeply about the people we work with, including our own team. Meaningful work should be challenging, creative, and human. At Obakki, you are trusted with real responsibility, encouraged to bring ideas forward, and expected to work collaboratively with a passionate, engaged team.
