Are you a student and excited about the start-up world? Do you have some free time at your hands and are looking for your new passion project? Are you very excited about the outdoors, adventures and expedition community? If any of this is true, then this is for you!

The World Explorers Collective is a Copenhagen-based ‘frivillig forening’ (similar to non-profit) dedicated to enabling expeditions and promoting adventure. We fund expeditions through our World Explorers Grant, host the Art of Adventuring podcast featuring professional athletes and explorers (e.g. Red Bull athletes) and are building a revolutionary adventure community mobile app (pre-launch).

Currently, our operations are driven primarily by one passionate individual, and support is needed to take this initiative to new heights. Even though we run as a non-profit, the ambition is to spin out activities as a for-profit company in the future.

Role Summary:

Taking on similar tasks to start-up founder, you will have the opportunity to:

• work on all aspects of a start-up organization

• engaging with top-tier athletes and international brands

• assisting in the development of our iOS / Android app and website,

• shaping the overall strategy and direction

• be 'in' from the beginning and make this organization scale

Workload is expected to be at 16-20h a week (flexible)

Possible Responsibilities:

Not all of the below will be done by you, but you can / will help out in various areas

• Communicate with sponsors and international brands to get funding and support

• Liaise with professional athletes and explorers

• Assist with podcast pre-production and post-production

• Manage social media accounts and create engaging content across platforms

• Contribute to website / app development, design and launch strategies

• Come up and execute marketing campaigns

• Track data, growth and optimise initiatives

Who are we looking for?

It is more important where you can be in 6 months than what you did 6 months ago!

• Ability and willingness to learn and grow

• Passionate about the outdoor, adventure, and explorer world

• Self-motivated, ambitious, and proactive

• Nice to have: Previous experience in one of the above responsibilities (e.g. web design, graphic design, network in the outdoor industry, experience with sponsors and funding, etc.)

• Nice to have: Experience from start-ups (e.g. founder, growth hacker, marketing lead, etc.)

• Nice to have: App development experience (e.g. Swift, Flutter, etc.)
