Confusion Capital is hiring a

Web3 Business Operations Associate

Business Operations Associate
Location: Remote (U.S. preferred)

About Reserve:
Reserve is a cryptocurrency project, patiently leading the asset-backed currency revolution. We want money that doesn't inflate like USD, but isn’t volatile like Bitcoin. Our approach is to bundle stocks, bonds, gold, real estate, and more into an index, and use that as money. That’s why we built the Reserve Protocol - to let anyone deploy a token that is issuable and redeemable for a basket of any other tokens. Today, the protocol is best used for bundling DeFi assets together to create yield-bearing USD stablecoins and indexes of cryptoassets. As more real world assets are tokenized, we believe the protocol will enable new asset-backed currencies that are mostly or fully independent of fiat money. You can learn more about the vision and the Reserve team here.

Confusion Capital is a foundation-like entity supporting the Reserve ecosystem. Operating as a treasury management organization, Confusion Capital provides for operations, grants, research, and other public good funding in support of the Reserve Protocol. 

This role is within Confusion Capital, but would also support ABC Labs, the company that leads development of the Reserve smart contracts and taking Reserve to market in DeFi.

About the Role:

• Project-manage and contribute to cross-team initiatives
• Monitor the status of key company projects, push forward said projects
• Prepare materials for leadership meetings

Preferred Qualifications:
