This is not a pure strategy role — we’re seeking a high-agency operator who’s in the trenches, lives and breathes crypto, understands the culture, and knows exactly how to turn vibes into velocity. This is not a pure marketing, growth, or partnerships role - its a mix of all three.</p> <h4><strong>WHAT YOU WILL DO</strong></h4> <ul> <li>Own and scale Core wallet’s growth strategy end-to-end — from crypto-native user acquisition and community/ecosystem partnerships to incentives, referrals, and product-led growth.</li> <li>Be the voice of the broader community inside the Core team — translate user needs, trends, and pain points into actionable product and growth insights that feed into product roadmap. </li> <li>Work closely with marketing on go-to-market plans for new features (e.g., native gasless transactions, cross-chain interoperability, NFT support, and Avalanche L1s UX + L1 staking).</li> <li>Lead strategic ecosystem partnerships across blue-chip dApps, protocols (L1s, L2s, etc.), bridges, NFT communities, DeFi primitives, and cross-chain platforms — turning handshake intros into high-impact integrations and campaigns. </li> <li>Design and deploy community-led growth loops — shill squads, power user programs, ambassador networks, referral rewards, and more.</li> <li>Stay connected 24/7 to the alpha—identify emerging narratives before they trend, and make sure Core is always early, not late (e.g., stablecoins, DeFi, games, etc.).</li> <li>Collaborate deeply with product, engineering, and design to fine-tune the wallet experience for maximum retention, trust, and magic.</li> <li>Measure what matters — define KPIs, instrument tracking, and run A/B experiments to drive continuous, compounding growth.</li> </ul> <h4><strong>WHAT YOU WILL BRING</strong></h4> <ul> <li>A crypto-native operator with a proven track record growing products in Web3, ideally in wallets. </li> <li>Deeply embedded in the culture: you’re in the right Telegram groups, reading Dune dashboards, minting memes, and contributing to real on-chain activity.</li> <li>You’re a power user of Web3 — you bridge, farm, swap, mint, stake, borrow, and vote with confidence (and probably one hardware wallet and two burner wallets).</li> <li>You know how to turn narrative into distribution — whether it’s a co-marketing launch, token incentive alignment, or a perfectly timed meme. </li> <li>An amazing communicator and initiative taker — you can pitch a partnership to a DeFi founder, rally a community around a feature launch, and distill user pain into a product brief.</li> <li>Strategic thinker AND tactical executor — you can zoom out to plan for the next 12 months and zoom in to close a campaign by Friday.</li> <li>Dabbled in technical partnerships, DevRel, or light scripting (Solidity, Rust, or data tools like Dune / Flipside)</li> </ul> <h4><strong>PREFERRED</strong></h4> <ul> <li>Worked in/with a top-tier crypto startup, wallet, DAO, or ecosystem growth team</li> <li>Built or led growth funnels/efforts in DeFi, wallets, L1s/L2s, infra, or NFTs</li> <li>Have a meaningful presence on crypto Twitter/X, Telegram, Farcaster, Discord, or similar</li> </ul> <p><strong>Base Salary Range:</strong><span> $159,197 - $198,996</span></p> <p><span>(</span><em><span>This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary, a final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to experience and geographic location.
