SPACE10 is a research and design lab on a mission to create a better everyday life for people and the planet — proudly supported and entirely dedicated to IKEA. We solve diverse, complex challenges with partners and collaborators across the world.
Our team is made up of 28 value-driven people with diverse skill sets from 13 countries. We have varied backgrounds, life stories, life futures, areas of expertise and personal preferences — and we celebrate that diversity. We lead with humbleness, playfulness and optimism. We like to laugh and we do it often.
We are searching for an experienced Editor & Copywriter to join our team in Copenhagen. The ideal candidate has a passion for storytelling in all its forms and is an experienced project manager of their own work. You will report directly to our Communications Director, Simon Caspersen.
You will be at the heart of all things storytelling at SPACE10 and ensure that how we communicate informs and inspires people towards action. You will be responsible for unfolding SPACE10 projects, vision, method, and areas of interest in multiple formats and ensuring our website is up to date and on point.
The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, has a passion for multi-format editorial storytelling and a deep interest in design, technology and the environment. The ideal candidate also enjoys working both autonomously on writing and editing tasks; and with a multidisciplinary in-house team on launching new projects, exhibitions and events, and on expanding our network of external writers and creatives.
Please submit your CV, a brief cover letter on why SPACE10 and what you can bring and three of your favorite examples of your own editorial work. Candidates who move onto the assignment phase will be compensated with a flat fee of €400. Applications will be considered on an ongoing basis.
