Are you an exceptional writer with highly developed project management skills and the ability to work with key internal stakeholders to produce meaningful results? Do you have excellent communications skills and the ability to manage relationships with important stakeholders in order to achieve your goals?
Parity’s Ecosystem and Business Development team is charged with the growth and success of the Polkadot ecosystem – from builders to supporters. We leverage a variety of resources across technical, BD, marketing, partnership, and other domains to support the ecosystem and facilitate growth of Polkadot, Kusama, and Substrate based teams. The Contributor Relations team focuses on engaging Polkadot supporters and builders from a Venture perspective – thus we act as the internal Venture Capital focused team at Parity across the entire Polkadot ecosystem. We work across time zones and have team members in most major global regions including North America, Europe, and Asia.
In this role on the Contributor Relations team, you will use your writing skills, project management, communication and interpersonal skills to support the development and execution of a strategy which ensures that Polkadot stakeholders and VC funds with a mandate to support the Polkadot ecosystem are participating in the Polkadot network (e.g. by participating in parachain auctions, governance, etc.) and supporting the development of early-stage companies leveraging Polkadot’s technology. Examples of supporters include crypto native VCs, financial VCs, corporate VCs, hedge funds, growth stage investors, family offices, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds. Startups in our ecosystem operate across various sectors, including Defi, gaming, NFTs, metaverse, infrastructure, identity, smart contracts, privacy, bridges, and others.
Above all, the ideal candidate will have exceptional project management, communication (both written and verbal), and interpersonal skills. He or she should also demonstrate a proven interest in the blockchain / crypto space as well as genuine intellectual curiosity. Direct experience working in crypto / blockchain is not required but is helpful.
