Writer Jobs in Web3

Aragon Association is a small, remote-only and humble team of people that span a broad range of backgrounds, interests, and geographies. We're entrepreneurs and Ph.D.s, craft beer and coffee lovers, living across the US, EU, Asia and everywhere in between who are designing and building unstoppable governance tools for decentralized organizations.

Aragon Association has overseen the production of the leading smart contract framework to build DAOs, with toolkits for developers to seamlessly integrate their apps with DAO functionality, and a decentralized dispute resolution system.

As an Event Manager you will help broaden and deepen Aragon’s role within crypto and adjacent industries by building out a portfolio of unforgettable high-impact gatherings. You will have autonomy to own the full event pipeline, from initial design and ideation to setting the production schedule, planning, logistics, and day-of execution.

You are a natural and experienced planner, able to oversee all aspects of event management for conference participation, sponsorship, hosting, speaker coordination - from A to Z. Every relevant detail is considered well in advance.

You build replicable event playbooks and processes that ensure consistency in external engagement across the brand and scale the impact of your organization.

You see events as part of a larger business development roadmap that ensures that each event is strategically relevant for your organization and brings maximum ROI.

You don’t wait for opportunities to appear. You have a pulse on what is happening in the community, industry trends, and who are the emerging thought leaders, building your own map of potential event organizers, sponsors, speakers, or collaborators.

You have a growth-oriented mindset and are conscious of branding and communications efforts that you need to be successful. Defining event requirements clearly and ahead-of-schedule with your marketing colleagues ensures that the event has what it needs for world-class impact.

You have a plan for swag. From collaborating with design and marketing to the ordering, communications with manufacturers, shipping, inventorying, and anything else involving management of promotional material, physical booth items, and wearables - you’ve got it handled.

You make sure that everyone representing your organization is equipped with the guidelines and resources they need. You brief event speakers and attendees so they are fully prepared.

You keep everyone else in the loop, so that venues, vendors, speakers, and any other stakeholders are abreast on project timelines and logistics. Because you are a meticulous record keeper, confusion is minimized when you are in charge .

You ensure events execute flawlessly on the day-of. On-the-fly surprises are kept to a minimum, and you can divert crises when they do happen.

You are there when you need to be. You love to travel, and you are able to assess when you are needed at events in order to keep things running smoothly.
