Do you easily connect to people, love providing a warm welcome, and get a kick out of organizing events? Then keep reading! Zoku is a home for business travelers who want to live in a city for anywhere from a few days to a few months. We’re not your typical business hotel: we offer a relaxed place to stay, work and meet new people, while helping residents feel connected to the local scene. Our fresh take on hospitality has been recognized around the world with plenty of press attention and design awards. We’re also proudly B Corp certified at all four of our locations (Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris and Vienna), which means we hold ourselves to high standards when it comes to social and environmental impact, transparency and accountability. At Zoku, you’ll join an international team of driven, proactive and fun-loving people who all share one thing: a passion for connecting people across the globe. TELL ME MORE During your Sidekick (meeting/events) Internship (starting in August 2026), you'll be the operational go-to person, mediator and problem solver for all meeting & events while helping facilitate the guest experience at Zoku Copenhagen along with the other Sidekicks. You'll be responsible operating all M&E activities, helping to create unforgettable experiences while gaining hands-on insight into daily operations. From setup to service and all the way to wrap-up, you’ll be the go-to person for events of all sizes – whether it’s an intimate meeting or a large-scale gathering with lots of moving parts. You’ll work closely with the Kitchen and Sidekick teams to bring food and beverage orders to life, helping deliver orders straight from the restaurant to the meeting spaces. At the heart of it, you simply love hosting a great event! But your role goes beyond events. As a true Sidekick, you’ll also jump in to support daily hotel operations—from welcoming residents at check-in, to brewing coffee behind the bar, or serving up smiles (and meals) in our Living Kitchen. No day is ever the same—and that’s exactly how you like it. WHAT WILL YOU DO? No day looks the same as a Sidekick Intern (meeting/events)… but here’s a glimpse of what you can expect: Creating memorable meetings: Embrace your inner event host by setting up our meeting rooms, styling the meeting and event spaces, and ensure a flawless experience. Be the host: You'll show off your inner barista, beer tapping skills and make sure that our meeting & events guests needs are met during their time with us. After events, you'll provide feedback to the Meeting & Events specialist to help improve our offers and processes. Food, drinks, and good vibes: Whether you're behind the bar or out on the floor, you'll serve up delicious dishes and drinks in our Living Kitchen and during meetings and events. From crafting coffees and cocktails to delivering orders with a smile, you’ll help create a warm, welcoming atmosphere from breakfast through dinner. A friendly first impression: You’ll be the warm welcome at the door—checking in and out residents with ease, while also greeting meeting and event guests, guiding them to the right spaces, and giving clear, helpful explanations to make them feel right at home. All done with a big smile, of course! WHAT MAKES THE INTERNSHIP UNIQUE? * You'll be an Meeting & Events all-rounder.

The company Zoku has invented a new category within the hotel industry with its home-office hybrid concept and award-winning Zoku Loft. Opened in 2016 by Dutch entrepreneurs Hans Meyer and Marc Jongerius, Zoku is named after the Japanese word for family, tribe or clan. Zoku facilitates international living, working and conscious traveling for the growing population of globetrotting professionals, digital nomads and remote workers. Its multipurpose business facilities make it a hospitality frontrunner in the future of work, providing hybrid work solutions for employees to reconnect while working-from-anywhere. The bold concept, which goes far beyond the standard hotel proposition of “putting heads in bed”, has won numerous awards, received rave reviews from guests and is praised for its vibrant Social Spaces, sustainability initiatives and unique community that facilitates connections between residents and locals. Zoku achieved B Corp certification in 2018, becoming one of the first hotels in the world to receive this recognition, and was voted “one of the 25 coolest hotels in the world” by Forbes. Zoku expanded to include three new locations to its portfolio of European hubs: Copenhagen, Vienna, and Paris.
