Head of Community/Community Lead

About Berachain:

Berachain is a high-performance, EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible, Layer 1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK. We're a young, world-class team of experts in computer science, type theory, economic game theory, risk management and enterprise development. Our team combines traditional experience in building and scaling teams at technology companies like Apple, Coinbase, IBM and Y-Combinator with crypto native experience from some of DeFi 2.0’s most impactful protocols. We're all highly passionate about Web3, Toybox and building infrastructure to bring decentralized finance to the masses. Our core engineering team is based in Toronto. Here at Berachain, you’ll be joining a world-class team of experienced founders, engineers and researchers passionate about designing sustainable economic and blockchain systems. We’re well funded by a group of leading digital asset investors, hedge funds, centralized exchange venture arms and strategic angels. 

We are looking for self-starters and mission driven individuals to join us as we build the future of decentralized finance. The ideal candidate for this role takes initiative and ownership over their work, thrives in a fast-paced and highly collaborative in-person environment, and is capable of rapidly adapting to evolving needs as required.

As we rapidly approach a public testnet in Q1 2024, Berachain’s community lead will work closely with the BD and marketing teams to identify, engage and guide the groups of people that are excited about our vision for the chain, and for crypto as a whole. We’re fortunate to have a strong existing community from the past few months as we’ve developed Berachain, popped up on conferences, and dropped lots of nonsense on Twitter, but we’re looking for someone to own this process as the community scales in both size and location.

We’re looking for a highly data driven, process-oriented and fun individual who is very crypto-native and possesses a strong knowledge of the on-chain infrastructure and DeFi landscape.

The ideal candidate will lead campaigns and initiatives to bolster community growth while developing programs to engage community contributors around education, content, non-cringy memes, and everything in between. They will work closely with the marketing team to organize Discord events, TG chats, Twitter Spaces, coordination of moderators across different platforms, AMAs, Office Hours, and everything in between that touches the community.

The community lead will be a core pillar in guiding Berachain’s growth, brand, and voice over the months to come as we rapidly progress towards a public mainnet. We view this role as the ultimate missionary over mercenary; the successful candidate should be one of the default names that comes to mind when someone thinks of Berachain, so we’ll be extremely picky about who we bring on to represent the brand.
