Work for Us
The Haud is a young marketplace for British heritage craft. I started it because the people behind the best work in this country are quietly going out of business, and the marketplaces that exist either flatten them into “artisanal handmade” or take so much margin there's nothing left.
If you care about craft, writing, or how independent commerce gets built, the roles below might suit you.

Writer
Commission basis · paid per pieceI'm building an editorial layer alongside the marketplace: maker profiles, craft explainers, curated edits, opinion. Pieces run on the Haud journal and across our channels, with your full byline.
If you're a writer with an interest in heritage craft, design history, slow commerce, or the people behind hand-made work, I'd love to hear from you. Experience interviewing makers or writing for editorial outlets is a bonus, not a requirement.
Commissions are paid per piece, discussed when we talk. Travel costs covered if a maker visit makes sense for the story.
To apply, send me one or two writing samples and a short note on what you'd want to write about.
Editorial & Marketplace Intern
Hybrid · London · flexible hours · expenses coveredI'm looking for one or two interns to spend three to six months alongside me as The Haud takes its first steps post-launch. This isn't work experience and it isn't a coffee run. It's a proper seat next to a founder building a marketplace from the ground up.
You'd shadow the editorial pipeline (commissions, maker interviews, the journal), sit in on calls with makers and investors, and get an honest view of what the first year of a craft business actually looks like, the brilliant bits and the unglamorous ones. I'll make sure you leave with a portfolio worth showing and an understanding of how independent commerce gets built.
This suits a recent graduate or someone early in their career thinking about craft, editorial, design, or independent retail. Not a stepping-stone to something glossier; I'd rather have one person who genuinely cares than three who are CV-stuffing.
Hybrid, London-based, flexible hours. Expenses covered: travel to maker visits, any in-person meetings, materials where needed. Rolling applications.
To apply, send me a short letter (not a CV, please) explaining why this and not somewhere else, plus a writing sample of any kind.
I read everything myself. If your application feels like a fit, I'll come back within a fortnight to set up a call. If it's a no, I'll still write back.
