Job description
What Design Can Do (WDCD) is an international organisation that seeks to accelerate the transition to a sustainable, fair and just society using the power of design. WDCD team members contribute to this mission with their own expertise and creative power, and that’s where you come in.
As a Content Creator, you write scroll-stopping online content for a global audience. In this position you fill WDCD’s channels with the information and inspiration creatives are craving. You create content — writing text and curating visuals — on intersectional issues such as climate justice, gender equality and circular design.
This Spring, WDCD is announcing the winners of the Make it Circular Challenge, together with our partners in Mexico City, São Paulo, Nairobi, Delhi and Tokyo. This Challenge and celebrating it’s winners will be one of the main focuses for the organisation for this year, and will be especially prominent in your work as a Content Creator.
You’ll work with our (amazing) Communications team, consisting of a Communications Manager, PR & Media Coordinator, Blog Editor and — with this new role — Content Creator. We collaborate closely with the design and programme teams to deliver impactful content that helps our global creative community flourish.
Across all initiatives, WDCD’s aim is to present best practices and visions, to provoke discussion and to facilitate fruitful exchange between disciplines. Why? To demonstrate the power of design; to show that it can do more than make things pretty; and to empower designers to stand up, own up and lead.
As a Content Creator, here’s what you’ll be working on:
We are looking for a unique and creative colleague who brings the following:
Important practicals: This role requires attendance in-person at WDCD’s Amsterdam offices, and the candidate should live within a reasonable commuting distance. We require all applicants to already have the legal right to live and work in the Netherlands.
Here’s what to expect working with WDCD:
At WDCD, you will find a creative and challenging working atmosphere, where there’s always a new project on the horizon. You will be given plenty of space to do your work independently, with clear assignments and positive communication.
WDCD is based in the East of Amsterdam. All team members divide their time between working at home and in our Amsterdam studio. Fresh, vegetarian lunches are cooked and enjoyed together with the team.
The salary for this role is in accordance with the Dutch creative industry standards and based on experience, it includes covered expenses, pension and 8% holiday allowance.
