You’ll build relationships with developers, validators, and ecosystem partners; engage in conversations across X, Telegram, Discord, and regional channels; and design programs that turn curiosity into contribution. You’ll work cross-functionally with Marketing, BD, and Dev Rel to ensure our campaigns, launches, and events connect with the people who matter most—our users and builders.

Ensure rules and guidelines are enforced consistently to maintain a positive and safe environment. Monitor analytics for community platforms to track growth, engagement, and sentiment.

Recruit, onboard, and train ambassadors and moderators to represent the project and assist with community moderation. Coordinate tasks and incentives for ambassadors (e.g., rewards, token airdrops, or exclusive perks). Regularly check in with the team to ensure alignment with project goals and address any challenges.

Identify and reach out to other crypto projects, communities, and influencers for partnerships or collaborations. Work with other communities to attract users, developers, and contributors to the project. Negotiate co-marketing opportunities, such as joint events, giveaways, or shared campaigns.
