Head of Sustainability and Impact Partnerships

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

We are a part of the first generation of people to realize that we are impacting the planet and perhaps one of the last that can do anything about it.

At Worthmore, our mission is to change what we do with our used electronics by making it simple and easy to convert them into money for causes we all care about.


To our future teammate,

We believe 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 who wants to help us tell these stories in a compelling and viral way and change how we have been consuming the devices we consider vital to our everyday lives for the past decade.

 

Your main tasks will include...

  • Researching and helping us join forces with local organizations that would like to help us make a difference

  • Developing the Worthmore brand through content, campaigns, and strategies.

  • Organizing and leading events with a focus on sustainability and circular economy

  • Applying to grants, or other opportunities which could help us further our mission

  • Conducting brand outreach to other companies in Denmark looking to partner with us

  • Ensuring and enforcing sustainable practices internally within the company

 

You are a good fit if you...

  • ...Have experience executing and planning events

  • ...Are not afraid of cold phone call/ email outreach

  • ...Have built or managed a community of volunteers (or would like to)

  • ...Can Blog, write, ideate, or design content for press or SoMe Advertising

  • ...Can speak Swedish and English at a professional level (a plus but not required)

 

What can we give to you?

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


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


We do not pay from day 1, but we are looking to close our first round of funding with Antler within the next 10 weeks.


We have a cool office available to us at WeWork with free coffee and Friday bars where you will get to network with some of the top entrepreneurs in the city.

 

Our interview is about the team fit.

In a startup, even more, important than your skillsets is the team fit. That being said, the interview is an informal introduction to our team and the project. We grab a coffee or a beer (your choice), then we talk a bit about the idea and listen to your thoughts about it. We will ask you if you have any previous work to show off and then discuss what we can do for you. Finally, we will promise to give you a decision within 48 hours.

 

We look forward to meeting with you soon :)

A note from the Founder not generated by AI :D Have you ever thought about how amazing it is that we can instantly communicate with anyone around the world at anytime wirelessly? Personally, I have been intrigued by the devices and the invisible fields that connect us all since I was much younger. From the smartphone to the services that power it - and while they are great for everything they do, I felt the business model of selling phones and SIM cards hasn't really changed since the industry first began - more importantly to me it lacked heart and consideration for people and the planet. So about 2 years ago, I started working on Worthmore. Today, we're a small team on a mission to disrupt telecom for the good of people and the planet and redefine what a mobile phone subscription can be. We market Worthmore more as a membership to a community focused on making the world a better place first - not just a mobile phone subscription. Our goal is to transform your choice of telecom provider into a meaningful decision to become part of something bigger. In fact, we tell our members that they get the SIM card for free just for being a part of what we do. As a member, you enjoy the same great telecom services & prices (in most cases better or cheaper) - plus added perks of saving money at impactful brands and services. On top of this, for each member of our community, Worthmore pledges 15kr/mo to the "Worthmore Impact Fund," which supports people and tangible projects working towards a future we can all be proud of. See our first video here https://youtu.be/Vo9SuuD07jw?si=tYlO_Z0YUo0vOuFy The mission is to prove that in a dinosaur industry like telecom - doing good is good business. That by supporting causes instead of wasting money on ads, we can build a movement and a community that is connected by more than just the SIM cards in their devices. They are connected with a common goal of working towards a future we can all be proud of. We are still in the very early stages, and since I don't come from money, and I didn't start this with a small loan of a million dollars from my dad, it has been a struggle to even get this far...but we now have our first working SIM cards - we have our website - we have the basic skills, and most importantly, we have the motivation to keep pushing things forward. Every time I see that it says Worthmore in the top corner of my phone instead of Telia, Lebara, or whoever, I'm reminded that we have succeeded in building a way to help people #ConnectWithPurpose. So - As a founder with an extremely limited budget and nothing but an overwhelming sense of optimism and a passion for what he's building - I write this letter to reach out to those who also want to be part of our mission - we could use the help. I look forward to connecting with some of you soon for an interview, and if you've read this far, you're probably the type of person we're looking for :D Tegan Spinner CEO & Founder @Worthmore
