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.
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.
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
...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)
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.
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 :)
