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.
Researching and helping us join forces with local organizations that would like to help us make a difference
Developing the Lokalist 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 Danish at a professional level (a plus but not required)
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.
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 :)
