Web3 Head of Growth

Job Type: Contract

About Us:

The AVA Foundation’s mission is to create a decentralized and self-sufficient blockchain-based loyalty ecosystem. At the core of the ecosystem is the AVA token, which serves as the native token of Travala, the world’s leading crypto-native travel booking service backed by Binance. AVA functions as the key to accessing the AVA Smart Program on Travala, providing perks to travellers such as crypto travel rewards, travel discounts, and more. By tokenising the concept of loyalty reward programs using blockchain technology, we’re bringing loyalty programs into the web3 era.

• Identify, develop, and maintain strategic partnerships to drive growth and expand product reach.
• Design campaigns with web3 projects, exchanges, and ecosystems that amplify growth by leveraging cross-marketing strategies with partner communities.

• Lead data analysis and growth modeling to identify new opportunities and measure effectiveness.
• Conduct in-depth analysis to understand user behavior and growth drivers, reporting insights and adjustments to stakeholders regularly.
• Oversee real-time growth metrics like user growth, engagement, retention, and revenue.

4. Community Building & Engagement:

• Work with the product team to develop and optimize the user journey (onboarding, interface, etc.) to reduce friction points and boost conversion, activation, and retention.
• Continuously refine the product roadmap to prioritize features and improvements that will have the highest impact on growth metrics.
