Quality Controller
Join our team as a Quality Controller and ensure the highest standards across MIKUTA's products. If you have a keen eye for detail and a passion for maintaining excellence, we would love to hear from you
Full-Time - Guimarães (PT)
The MIKUTA brand was founded in Berlin by Jacqueline Mikuta and Klemens White, starting in 2017 with a small jewellery line, which later expanded to clothing in 2019. MIKUTA is a young, wild & free-inspired fashion brand for modern women with a glimpse of rock'n'roll. MIKUTA is currently one of the fastest-growing direct-to-consumer brands in the fashion market.
Our Team is spread across Europe, with a Studio Office in Berlin and a production Office in northern Portugal. We are currently working with Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter Collection cycles and soon grow to a product portfolio of more than 300 products.
We are mainly producing our products in Portugal, while constantly growing our supplier network abroad as well. All manufacturers are an extension of the Brand and having a good relationship with them is as important to us as ensuring on-time production deliveries to sustain the growth of MIKUTA.
