Celo Foundation is hiring a
Web3 Grants Operations Partner

Location: remote

At the Celo Foundation, we support various partners across the Celo Ecosystem including cLabs, the team working on the open source platform Celo, whose mission is to build a financial system that creates the conditions for prosperity for all.
Celo aims to remove the barriers for large-scale adoption of cryptocurrencies as means-of-payment. Using a novel address-based encryption algorithm, the Celo protocol makes sending money as easy as sending a text. Additionally, Celo uses stable-value tokens pegged to fiat currencies, like the US Dollar, to minimize volatility. Celo is an open protocol enabling many to participate in the system, even with a budget Android smartphone. The first application launched on the Celo platform, Valora, is a social payments and money transfer app, aimed at developing markets.
This role ensures that one of the main goals of the Celo Foundation – supporting and funding our grant recipients – is handled professionally and responsibly, demonstrating the level of care, diligence and partnership that are hallmarks of the Celo ecosystem. This role is a great fit for someone who loves a tightly-run ship, excellent processes, and naturally fosters collaborative partnerships across many groups.
