Grants Program Manager — Autheo Foundation | Live Mainnet Builder Grants

Launch Legends • Cheyenne, WY

2d • Remote

About The Position

The Grants Program Manager owns the Autheo Foundation grant program from intake to project close. Mainnet is up. DevHub is open. THEO is trading. The grant program is how the Foundation puts builders on that chain: contracts, tooling, identity, marketplace services, and infrastructure that a user can actually call. You are the primary contact for applicants, the operator behind review, and the person who can say what was awarded, why, and whether the milestone shipped. This sits at program operations, builder relations, and 501(c)(3) compliance. You do not own protocol, exchange listings, or the product roadmap. You do own the file: who applied, who was funded, what they owed, and what the public can see. Part-time does not mean advisory. Equity cofounder means you run the program, write the decisions down, and close the grants.

Requirements

• Managed a grants or nonprofit program, preferably at a technology nonprofit, a blockchain foundation, or an open-source organization.
• Project management that can hold 15–40 grants at different stages without a second system in someone’s inbox.
• Working knowledge of 501(c)(3) grant practice: written agreements, milestone files, and what has to be disclosed.
• Enough technical fluency to read a blockchain proposal and sit with the protocol lead during review. You do not have to write the contract. You do have to know when the proposal does not match the chain.
• Clear writing: grant feedback, a rejection reason, and a public program note.
• KYC/KYB experience, and comfort with international grantees.

Nice To Haves

• A Web3 or crypto grant program you can name, including how a grant was closed or pulled.
• Smart-contract or protocol review experience.
• A program you stood up, not only one you inherited.
• A habit of publishing the list.

Responsibilities

• Run the full path: application intake, eligibility screening, coordination of technical review, Grant Committee approval, award notification, agreement execution, milestone tracking, and project close.
• Keep one system of record for active grants, upcoming milestones, disbursement schedules, and reporting deadlines. Comfortable range is 15–40 concurrent grants.
• Be the point of contact. Answer questions, give written feedback, and guide teams through review.
• Recruit projects that match the current RFP: work that ships on Chain ID 2127, DevHub, TheoID, Marketplace, or the post-quantum path. A deck about a future chain is not a fit.
• Collect milestone reports. Escalate scope changes, delays, and compliance issues to the Grants Committee before the next disbursement.
• Coordinate the Grant Committee, Foundation Board, and legal on agreement execution, KYC/KYB, and revocation if a grant has to be pulled.
• Work with Finance and Operations so milestone payments go out on the written schedule, not on a Slack reminder.
• Publish awarded grants and grantee milestone reports.
• Own the quarterly transparency report: applications, awards, completion, and what the ecosystem actually got.
• Track applications received, awards made, milestone completion, time-to-decision, and a short impact note tied to something on the live network (a contract, a DevHub path, a service), not a follower count.

Benefits

• Equity in Launch Legends
• Equity in Autheo
• Equity in the WFO Creator Network
• Token allocations in the Autheo blockchain
• THEO is already trading; this is an allocation in a live utility token, not a promise against a future TGE.
• Salaried compensation is expected to begin within 4 to 5 months, following our node, token sales, or funding.
