Join Our Collaborator Program
ATÖLYE is building a dynamic pool of freelance collaborators to partner with us on projects that tackle complex, meaningful challenges. We’re especially looking for experienced professionals in experience design, architecture, learning design, project management, branding/marketing, and strategic design—but we also welcome diverse backgrounds across the broader design spectrum.
As a collaborator, you might join us on a short-term project or become a long-term partner—some even transition into full-time roles. What connects us is a shared commitment to designing with purpose, working collaboratively across disciplines, and contributing to a values-driven community.
If you’re someone who thrives in a self-managed environment, values cultural sensitivity, and believes in the power of storytelling and design to create lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you.

A Note Regarding Job Location
ATÖLYE has two hubs in Istanbul and Dubai that houses its core team and its community. However, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, ATÖLYE has adopted a hybrid way of working where team members can choose to work remotely and visit the ATÖLYE spaces when their physical presence is necessary. Meanwhile, we regularly organize in-person events and gatherings for our team and community in order to foster physical interactions.

Throughout the entire job application process, ATÖLYE does not discriminate against individuals directly or indirectly based on language, race, color, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy, parenthood, childcare, age, health status, disability, political opinion, philosophical belief, religion and sect, or similar reasons. ATÖLYE provides suitable working conditions obligating employees to behave equally among teammates and complies with the principle of equality which is embedded in its organizational policy.
