Chief of Staff - Washington DC, United States - Optimism

Description

Agora is working towards a new paradigm for group collaboration by creating the tools for communities to work together onchain.

We believe that to enable the next era of collaboration, we need software that can bend current and create new incentives.

So to this end, Agora is working tirelessly on the best end-to-end governance platform for crypto protocols – the first instance of at scale onchain collaboration.

Leading communities like Optimism, ENS, Uniswap, Nouns, and more rely on Agora to coordinate their community around critical protocol upgrades, ecosystem funding, and steward their ecosystem for the future.

Our goal is to build deep collaboration tools for people who couldn't care less about crypto so that one day (soon), your friends back home are using Agora without ever knowing we're on Ethereum.

Head of Operations or Operations & Special Projects are perhaps fitting titles for this role as well.

Some of your days may end up looking like rolling up your sleeves and cleaning up databases, while other times may require you to run an important meeting with high stakes customers.

Some projects and todos may last a few a months, others might be a one-off task, but ultimately your ability to add leverage to our team is going to be a key ingredient in the success of this company.

Build out an implementation flow for our new customer segment.

Run with it and do everything from planning, calls with customer, to writing documents and making spreadsheets to checkoff the checklist at hand.

Many of these problems span across a range of legal, compliance and product requirements that are non-linear.

We are looking for an operator at heart who is hungry to roll up their sleeves and excited about the future of governance and coordinating the commons.

Keen interest in business and building things from 0 to 1 (else you'll hate this)
You love onchain governance like us :)
Bonus if you're technical or have built things (non-software counts too)

We want you to own a sizable chunk of of the product and company, and structure our compensation accordingly.

Competitive benefits – in addition to good health and dental benefits, we trust all employees with a no-limit company card and equal access to our executive assistant to use however they see fit to increase their productivity.

A path to grow – our goal is to retain all early hires as senior leaders as the company scales.

Remote friendly, but PST or EST timezones preferred.
