  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Excellent culture fit. Get along with me and the team interpersonally very well
  • Highly organized

  • 2+ years of full-time work experience
  • A strong knowledge of and interest in tech startups

  • You will shadow me in the beginning, and then will take off of my plate all of the tasks that need to get done, but I don't want / have time to do

PREFERRED:

  • A strong interest or curiosity in crypto & web3
  • Either a consulting or founder background. Ideally both
  • Computer Science or Engineering background. Ability to understand complex technical blockchain topics

Salary range for this role is $109K to $200K USD (CA, NY, or remote). Compensation subject to experience and location.
