Web3 Executive Director - Provenance Foundation

Compensation: $63k - $90k estimated

Location: San Francisco, California, United States

Provenance is a public, decentralized proof-of-stake blockchain, and is the leading blockchain for the financial services industry. Figure has pioneered the adoption of Provenance, and today a large number of banks, funds, asset originators and other institutions use Provenance in the lending, payments and marketplace verticals. Apollo has a strategic partnership with Figure and Provenance, and this year NYCB became the first bank to issue stablecoin on a public blockchain, supporting a real-time blockchain securities marketplace (also a first) on Provenance. The market cap of Hash, the underlying utility token on Provenance, has grown from $150M to over $12 billion since its launch in 2018.

Provenance is seeking an CEO to lead the Provenance Blockchain Foundation. There are five key responsibilities for this role:
1.Promote Provenance to the blockchain developer community through media, thought leadership, networks, etc. Provenance is fast, allows users to control their own data and has bank-issued USDF to support bilateral transactions. Figure has open-sourced a significant amount of code for applications built on Provenance. JAM is actively investing in companies building on Provenance, and the Foundation has over $500M (at current prices) inHash stake to reward 3rdparty development.
2. Promote Provenance to the financial services industry and the developers within that industry. Some of the largest banks and funds are active on Provenance, utilizing the blockchain for lending, payments and marketplaces.

3. Build strategic partnerships with both the blockchain and financial services communities. The Foundation can build on Figure partnerships (Apollo, NYCB, NBH, etc.) to jumpstart the process. The foundation can also utilize its Hash stock to drive partnerships with common economic alignment.

4. Continue to build out blockchain infrastructure to support and facilitate the above objectives. Figure will contribute a significant amount of code to support marketplaces, wallets, etc. The Foundation should leverage this technology to build open-source tools and applications to support 3rd party adoption and development.
5.Continue to build on and maintain regulator and lawmaker dialogue, while driving supportive policy for Provenance specifically and blockchain in general. The Foundation can leverage and take on the extensive relationships Figure has forged (SEC, FDIC, OCC, NYDFS, etc.) to help drive future blockchain policy.
