Partnerships Manager

ETHGlobal Inc

4d • $90,000 - $120,000 • Remote

About The Position

ETHGlobal is the largest developer community in crypto. As the usage of blockchain technology grows, the world is going to need more talented engineers, designers, and product leaders to build the future that blockchain technology is promising. We work with exactly these kinds of people every single day through the products we organize for our community. By focusing on this community, we think we can accelerate the transition to a crypto-native digital economy. Historically, ETHGlobal has been about running hackathons around the world (we've run a hackathon in every continent except Antarctica!), and we've been very successful at that. Hundreds of people have found jobs from our events, won millions in prizes, and some have even started businesses worth tens to hundreds of millions of dollars. Today, however, we see a path to be something much larger. ETHGlobal is about empowering our community to do great things. We're a collection of crypto native engineers, community leaders, event organizers, and investors. Together, we will build the best community platform for technical talent in the entire crypto industry. ETHGlobal was early in supporting the crypto community and have been doing so since 2017. We're a small team of 14, and we’re looking for experienced partnerships managers in the cryptocurrency space who are invigorated by the opportunity to have a major impact on how developers learn and grow in this industry. You must be comfortable dealing with lots of moving pieces; you should have exquisite attention to detail and be comfortable learning new technologies and systems.
