Yield Guild Games is a decentralized gaming guild that pools funds to purchase yield-generating NFTs, and leverages players' time and effort to optimize community-owned assets for maximum utility and return.

By merging NFTs and decentralized finance (DeFi), YGG’s creates value for its partners and community by developing the content and economy of virtual worlds and blockchain-based games. The organization’s mission is to create the biggest virtual world economy.

YGG believes that NFTs and cryptocurrencies are providing transformative economic opportunities for people young and old in developing nations where jobs are lacking and crisis relief has been limited. Notable investors in YGG include Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Delphi Digital, BITKRAFT Ventures, Animoca Brands, Scalar Capital, and Fabric Ventures.

As one of the hottest start-ups in web3 in 2021, YGG is rapidly growing and we are looking for a Head of Content and Curriculum. You’ll report to the Head of Developer Relations to help build the strongest community of builders and creatives across web3 and gaming.

As a Head of Content and Curriculum your core responsibility will be to build educational content and programs in a variety of formats that help inspire and evangelize Play-to-Earn (P2E) gaming and other forms of web3 gaming to the greater games development community.

You will manage a team of content editors and creators that will work closely with subject matter experts globally and help them create the material that will be the most valuable to the games ecosystem and to support YGG’s mission. We will collaborate with thinkers, builders, and execs, and other experts across the web3 and games industry in our endeavor. The content will come in the form of many initial programs and formats and will scale according to success. This platform will also serve as an initial entry point to YGG’s services and technology to help developers their footing and on a path to building and bringing to market amazing new game experiences.
