Title

Web3 Project Manager (all genders)

Job Intro

As a Web3 Project Manager you will work at the intersection of creativity and project management for external communication measures and campaigns, addressing developers and businesses using DLT/blockchain technology.

You will be the leading force in the development of such measures, proactively gathering information e.g. about an upcoming software release, interpret it and develop ideas how to translate it into something that captures the interests of the target audience.

Being the directly responsible individual, it will be your task to prepare the information your fellow team members in the communications department require to produce the material and assets you define. You will propose scope, idea, concept and assets for campaigns, microsites and services, proactively involve members from your own and other departments, oversee the production of items, in time, scope and budget.

As you are the individual carrying the most knowledge for the task at hand, you will be required to proactively share your knowledge with other team members to provide them with everything they need to fulfill their roles. While your role involves a lot of planning, over- and foresight, you will not only hand over information to others and instruct them what to do: as you are the person carrying the most knowledge about the topic at hand, it will also be your task to prepare material, copy text and messaging for assets, websites and other material and items yourself.

In your role, you will mostly develop communication ideas and campaigns for the application of blockchain technology, mostly geared towards developers and engineers, but also towards end users for example in the realm of DeFi. In order to be able to fulfill your role, you will require a solid understanding of IT in general and at least a general understanding of blockchain and distributed ledger technology.
