Zolabo is looking for help building the next chapter of its story. Would you like to work on creative and innovative publications that help people understand the world?
Background
Zolabo is a consultancy based in Amsterdam that designs and builds data-driven digital products. It's currently just me (Jurjen), but like to an enthousiastic colleague to the team! Zolabo creates visual experiences that lead to a better understanding of markets, organizations and our world with all its challenges. I started working as a freelancer basically and in a short time I have managed to get international clients like the International Labour Organization, Achmea, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the UNDP. Many clients return, which shows the strength of Zolabo's offering.
Future
I would like to develop Zolabo into top tier digital agency for information design. To get there I aim to better streamline the work and create a clear product and service offering. This product is a ready to use platform that help people publish facts attractively. The idea is to create a library of interactive visualizations that people can use to present their own data. The visuals they create can be used on a website, shared on social media or included in an other products like a dashboard. Clients can customize these widgets in some extend by using a self-service, no-code (or low-code) environment. When clients want something special, we assist by developing custom solutions as a service.
To promote the tool we will publish eye catching visuals on a regular basis. By doing this we also build a wider offering of visualizations and infographics for our customers. And this is the part were your story comes in!
Your role
In today's world, we are flooded with opinions. We have our opinion ready on anything, but in reality we are often misguided. Hans Rosling made a strong argument for this issue during his lifetime. To address this issue, I want to work with you and make attractive and enjoyable visualizations that drive a better fact-based world view.
Your work will consist of identifying global facts that we should be publishing about. You will research topics and find trustworthy data we can use. You'll actively approach and consult experts. Together we'll draft creative concepts for the visualizations and infographics. The work will be primarily published online and you'll help promote the content. You willl also work with our clients to identify their needs and support sales.
The exact role can be defined based on your ambitions and experience. There's a lot of room for your input and initiatives as well. You are expected to be self-motivated and able to work independent. It's possible to work remotely with flexible times, but being able to work (at least occasionally) in Amsterdam is a big plus. Your English should be perfect, speaking Dutch is preferred but not required.
