Your Role

- Build a network of expert advisors across various domains and connect the DAO with these resources to support the successful execution of initiatives.

- Work with community teams to develop effective onboarding processes that activate and sustain DAO participation, aligning with both the DAO’s and Foundation’s missions.
- Partner with research and education teams to deliver resources and training that upskill DAO members on governance tools, processes, and best practices.
- Facilitate regular feedback channels to ensure DAO members are supported and informed, empowering them to take ownership of their governance activities.
- Maintain detailed governance documentation to keep DAO members and the community informed and aligned.
- Monitor the lifecycle of DAO proposals, ensuring compliance with governance protocols and supporting the DAO in adhering to timelines and agreements.
- Mediate disputes and enforce agreements to maintain the integrity and trust of the DAO’s governance framework.
- Lead outreach efforts to attract new community members, developers, and contributors to the DAO, with an emphasis on fostering a self-sustaining governance model.
- Collaborate with marketing and ecosystem growth teams to amplify DAO initiatives across social platforms and events, bolstering DAO visibility and impact.
- Collaborate with other DAO-governed organizations to uphold and promote industry-leading transparency standards, ensuring accountability and trust across the ecosystem.
- Update the Arbitrum Foundation on governance milestones and DAO progress, contributing to transparency and alignment between the DAO and the Foundation.
What You'll Need
- Demonstrated experience in DAO governance, decentralized community management, or similar roles within blockchain or Web3 settings.
- Strong project management skills, with experience using governance tools and platforms (e.g., Snapshot, Tally) to support DAO operations.
- Excellent communication, facilitation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build relationships across diverse stakeholder groups.
