About Butcher of Blue
Butcher of Blue is a modern men's brand that stands for contemporary style with a strong foundation in denim and heritage-inspired design. Driven by our love for authentic materials and craftsmanship, we develop collections that are durable, timeless, and versatile.

As a B Corp-certified company, we are actively committed to making a positive impact on people and the environment. This means we take responsibility for the choices we make: from the selection of fabrics and production locations to the way we collaborate with suppliers and customers.

Our collections combine quality, comfort, and character – essentials that are not only relevant today but also stand the test of time. We are a growing and dynamic team with a creative, entrepreneurial mindset.

Your role as Research & Development assistant
As a research & development assistant, you are the flexible link between design, suppliers, purchasing, and logistics. You support the entire product development process from A to Z and take on your own responsibilities starting from the SMS phase.

- Contribute ideas for improvements in processes and workflows

Who are you?
We are looking for a flexible all-rounder who thrives on variety and is not afraid of a challenge. You are hands-on, can switch gears quickly, and maintain an overview, even when many things are happening simultaneously.

Qualities & skills:
- Completed relevant HBO education
- Experience with Adobe Illustrator is a plus
- Hands-on, solution-oriented, and proactive
- Flexible and stress-resistant
- Enthusiastic, positive, and eager to learn
- Strong communication skills (Dutch & English, verbal and written)
- Affinity with fashion, textiles, and product development
- Good at planning, organizing, and monitoring deadlines

What do we offer you?
- A versatile role within an ambitious and close-knit team
- Work in a creative and dynamic environment where no two days are the same
- Full involvement in the process from initial idea to final product
- Room to take responsibility and grow
- A workplace where collaboration, quality, and fun are central
