Celo Foundation is hiring a

Web3 Office Manager

At the Celo Foundation, we partner with organizations across the Celo ecosystem including partnering with cLabs, the team working on the open-source platform Celo, whose mission is to build a regenerative digital economy that creates the conditions for prosperity for all.

Celo aims to remove the barriers to the 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 payment and money transfer app, aimed at developing markets.

This role is a unique opportunity to help set up and manage operations for a small vibrant office hub where members of our community work. This is more complex than your typical office because we will have occasional visitors and frequent visitors with different types of memberships, as well as occasional events.

This office hub is open to various projects (teams or organizations) building on the Celo platform, and offers huge value in collaboration and coworking in the web3 and ReFi space.
