Overview

Maker is a technology startup with a mission – we exist to empower the next generation of financial tools and an accessible store of value for the world. We believe the best businesses need not make up their marketing and product stories, but should share and prove the real journey and impact behind their products with their customers.

Maker is looking for a friendly self-starter, who loves meeting new people and building communities. You are the ultimate Maker evangelist and thought-starter for our current audience, and for those who have never heard of us. Through intelligent conversation – both online and in person at events – you will help grow the Maker footprint, taking us from a small blip on the radar to a household name. The blockchain community is discerning and quick to poke holes in ideas. Because of this, you are unflappable with an ability to articulate your thoughts clearly and calmly, garnering interest from a wide scope of people, while turning detractors into advocates.

The ideal candidate wants to become a figurehead within the Maker community, a rockstar at conferences, and possesses a genuine personality that makes everyone want to have a conversation with them. This candidate is a credible and trustworthy resource for the Maker audience, while always remaining authentic to Maker and its vision.

Lastly, you will be extremely knowledgeable about Maker’s product suite, and the crypto space in general. This will lead to you being responsible for helping our community understand and use our tools, organize events & meet-ups, creating localized content & campaigns, providing insights and research, and monitoring our social media accounts.
