Graphic Designer with a focus on Marketing/SoMe

Salary DKK 5,600 - DKK 10,000
Equity To be negotiated

We are a part of the first generation of people to realize that we are having an impact on the planet, and perhaps one of the last that can do anything about it. At Lokalist, we are building a platform that aims to raise awareness of just how unsustainable the smartphone production industry actually is, and find solutions to reduce the number of phones being produced, use the ones we have already made to their full potential, and recycle those that are no longer useful. #PassItOn


To our future teammate,

One of the key drivers of change is knowledge.


Once you realize the average smartphone takes over half of the elements from the periodic table to produce. Elements that are toxic, dangerous to mine, and end up irresponsibly disposed of in our landfills after use.


Once you know 80% of children in a small town in China have developed lead poisoning because of the high amounts of toxic metals leaking from e-waste into their drinking water, or you hear the stories of Chilean miners being paid less than $2 a day to extract the raw material that makes your screen 15% brighter...well you begin to want to make a difference.


We are looking for a person that wants to help us tell these stories in a compelling and viral way, and help us change the way we have been consuming the devices we consider vital to our everyday lives for the past decade.


Your main tasks will include...

  • Using Adobe xD, Illustrator, After Effects to create engaging assets for the site

  • Developing and maintaining a design guide for the company

  • Conducting /Planning out marketing campaigns

  • Designing other assets for the company for presentations, emails, blog posts.


You are a good fit if you...

  • ...have experience designing a coherent Brand Identity across SoMe Platforms

  • ...are not afraid of conducting in-person user testing

  • ...have experience working with startups

  • ...have used your skills to design assets for Press/ SoMe Advertising

  • ...have strong video creation/editing skills as well

  • ...speak danish, but its only a plus.



What can we give to you?

One of the most critical questions we feel most startups forget to ask is what can we do for you. We are asking you to share skills that you have built up over many years to make our lives easier and our brand stronger.


For each person this answer is different, but it is our mission as a small startup to provide value to every team member in a way that is unique to them and achievable for us. We believe if you can give us what we need, and we can offer you what you want, then we are sure to be a good match professionally.


Some Key Perks Include:

  • The extreme flexibility of work hours

  • A job/tasks designed around the skills you would like to develop

  • Feeling like your work matters ( often you will see the effects of your work on the live platform within your first two weeks on the job)

  • Working at a startup with a focus on sustainability and smart consumption



Our interview is about the team fit.

In a startup even more critical than your skillsets is the team fit. That being said, our interview is an informal and relaxed introduction to our team and the company. We grab a coffee or a beer then we talk a bit about the idea and listen to your thoughts. We will ask you if you have any previous work to show off, and then discuss a bit about what we can do for you. Finally, we realize there is nothing more annoying than never getting a response so if you make it to the interview phase we typically can give you a decision within a week.


We can't wait to meet with you, and we look forward to having you join our team soon :)




Sincerely,

TheTeam @Lokalist

Working at
Lokalist

Who we are Each year in Denmark, over 2 million people upgrade their smartphones, but few have a clear idea of what to do with their previous device. Of course, they could sell it or trade it in, but today these options are primarily perceived as a hassle, a scam, or a waste of time. This results in Danes often having two or more smartphones wasting in a dusty drawer. Our mission to reduce this waste and to make the best use of their potential by providing a transparent, fair, and simple way to ensure that our old technology gets used to its fullest extent. The user can then support sustainable causes through our platform with the value of their used phones. Why do we exist? Used phones are extremely valuable. In fact, every year we estimate that at least one billion kroner worth of used phones enters the market in Denmark alone. On top of this, smartphone production has tremendous environmental and social impacts that are seldom talked about. Making the best use of minerals and labor that has already been put into our phones is the least we can do. Through research, we found that most people do not sell or trade-in their devices today for various reasons. However, over 90% of people responded that they would donate the value that their used phone could be sold for, entirely or in part, to philanthropic causes so long as it was easy and transparent. Therefore, not only are the causes we support genuinely good, but they provide the motivation to awaken a large and growing market. Today there is no platform where this can easily be done. Lokalist aims to fill this gap in the market and be the platform where people and businesses can easily donate all or part of the value of their used technology to support sustainable actions we all want to see more of. What happens to the used phones? The used phones we receive are safely wiped, complying with Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They then have a 92% chance to be refurbished or harvested for working components. The semi-new phones are sold in markets across the world to be loved by future users. The phones that cannot be refurbished are responsibly recycled, making sure to reuse minerals that are otherwise impactful to mine. Our values As a company, we focus heavily on integrating the Nordic values of transparency, honesty, community, and simplicity into our mission. This is not typical of our competitors in this space. By being active in the carrying-out of the sustainable causes with our partners, and showing our users instantly how their device could support them, we believe we can help make the best use of our e-waste while spreading the love.
