Open source software delivers billions of dollars per year in economic value, but those contributing often aren’t properly incentivized or compensated for their work. This is the problem Gitcoin originally set out to solve, and now, 5 years later, we are the largest Quadratic Funding experiment in the world empowering communities to fund their shared needs.

Gitcoin is made up of the DAO and protocol that serves as the funding mechanism for much of the Ethereum ecosystem. We have helped builders raise over $65mm by enabling institutions and the community to fund each other with cryptocurrency. This means, gone are the days of relying on user-extraction (or ad!) models to build and sustain products that are so common in web2.

We are searching for an experienced chief of staff to implement strategy, increase our team’s efficiency and serve as a sounding board for a number of key leaders. Gitcoin has a community of hundreds of thousands of builders, all of whom are interested in growing web3 projects and technology. This role will position you in the middle of this ecosystem, shoulder to shoulder with other humble leaders who want to see economic value pushed to the edges of the network.

This role requires a self-starter with a deep understanding of how to organize people and processes into collectives that move in the same direction. The ideal candidate has CoS experience, and understands how to work with executive teams and still serve the newest users. Experience in web3 is not required, but highly desired. We expect you to manage important projects, help other leaders become more organized, facilitate daily operations across the DAO, build and nurture relationships within the DAO to ensure fruitful cross-pollination and success across DAO initiatives and more generally lean into ambiguity.

“A good CoS knows which relationships are most important to the leader’s and DAO’s agenda.”

Responsibilities for Chief of Staff

Gitcoin has a need for all three levels as outlined here. Your experience will help us “level” you and set appropriate work expectations. A level 3 candidate should assume they will also have the skills to function at level 1 and level 2 when needed.

Gitcoin is a global organization with contributors in nearly every time zone. This role will require someone to be in or near the US east coast time zone however.
