• Ensure a structured decision making process is followed for organisational decisions.
• Consistency in handling day to day operations as a proxy for the CoFounders.
• Mediator of any conflict between teams, facilitating productive communication & resolution
• Handle any administrative issues/tasks (internal system approvals, budgets, etc)
• Help align a globally remote, asynchronous workforce.
• End goal of alignment & achieving buy-in across the org, through observation, listening and connecting with our teams to understand priorities / pain points

Requirements:

• Superb communicator, in all styles (via meetings, presentations, 1:1s, emails, DMs)
• Low ego - can adapt style to suit a multitude of audiences
• High level of Technical competency
• Demonstrated, high emotional intelligence & diplomacy
• Able to build trust / rapport quickly; empathetic yet assertive, listening, understanding, creating solidarity across our organisation.
• Business oriented with ability to focus on big picture strategy, but also to zoom into intricate detail
• Bias to action, and getting things done.

Experience required:

• Web3 background
• FOSS experience
