Complimentary Past Experience

We aren’t big on titles, which is why you’ll notice this role doesn’t really have one
Analogous roles in other orgs would be something like HR and Finance Admin/Coordinator/Manager
and Ops Coordinator and Ops Manager, depending on the experience and capabilities of the person we hire
Complimentary past roles/experience for this role could include, but are not limited to: executive assistant, event coordinator/manager/producer, operations coordinator/manager, project manager, etc

Why might you be excited about this role?

We’re highly mission-driven and values-aligned: at our core, we believe that applied crypto technology will have massive impacts on the world, and we’re focused on creating a culture of thoughtfulness and responsibility around the development of this technology
We steer clear of the over-hyped and over-financialized aspects of the crypto space, and take the long-term view on how this technology might be used to enable fairer, redistributive, and pro-social structures

Additionally, 0xPARC’s role as a “community steward” enables us to occupy a unique position at the center of a growing network of teams
0xPARC collaborates closely with a large and ever-expanding set of partner organizations—Ethereum Foundation, Optimism, Scroll, Polygon, ZCash, Veridise, Trail of Bits, Stanford CBR, Gitcoin, and many more
Joining 0xPARC is one of the fastest ways to familiarize yourself with the landscape of “deep tech” in crypto, and to build relationships with teams at the forefront of crypto innovation

Potential career-paths within 0xPARC for the person who fills this role could be, but are not limited to:

• Executive Assistant-type role for one or multiple of 0xPARC’s leaders
• Operations leader

Why might you not be excited about this role?

You may not be a good fit for this role if:

• You don’t want to herd cats or perform nitty-gritty operational and administrative work
  This role requires you to get your hands dirty: building forms, editing copy, running events, managing mailing lists and email campaigns, etc
  
• You don’t want to travel
  This person will be expected to travel nationally and internationally with our core team members, sometimes on short notice
  
• You are looking for predictability and stability
  We expect the role, our organization, and the overall applied crypto technology landscape to grow and change rapidly over the next year
  Team-members who are dedicated to our mission, and apply their best efforts, will have plenty of growth opportunities… we just don’t know what they look like yet
