  • Resourceful, hard-working, and solutions-oriented mindset - you work to solve problems before asking for help
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, exacting editorial standards, and impeccable people skills
  • Willingness to work hard and roll up your sleeves to get work done and even when at times it is outside the scope of the job
  • With a strategic mindset and the ability to sweat the details, you should be comfortable working in both unbound creative and more structured spaces.
  • This role requires occasional travel to crypto conferences and other event

Benefits include:
  • Competitive compensation
  • Opportunity to work with a dynamic and innovative team
