OSLO Made in Heaven - Founding Associate, London 🍦🍧
Company Description
OSLO made in heaven is a dessert brand specializing in dreamy Angel Cakes and artisan gelato, crafted with seasonal flavors and flowers. Founded as a family business in 1997, the company continues to handcraft its products with attention to detail and quality. Beyond cakes, OSLO promotes a way of eating, hosting, and sharing through curated events, catering, and wholesale partnerships.
OSLO is growing fast. Having launched in Milan, we're now opening our first London location - and we need someone sharp, organized, and ready to roll up their sleeves to help us get there. The team values curiosity, passion, and diversity, and looks for people who appreciate creativity and memorable dessert experiences. Joining OSLO means becoming part of a close-knit environment that blends tradition with modern hospitality.
Role Description
This is a full-time, on-site Founding Associate role based in London, working directly with the founders to launch and grow OSLO's first UK location. This isn't a behind-a-desk role. To do it well, you need to know the business from the inside out - that means working shifts in the shop, finishing cakes, scooping gelato, and understanding every detail of the product and the customer before helping us scale it. The best ideas for growth come from the people who know the shop floor firsthand.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
