Partnerships Manager

Taiko Labs is building the Taiko ZK-EVM: a Layer 2 ZK rollup that scales Ethereum in a manner that emulates it as closely as possible - both technologically and ideologically. Taiko is an Ethereum-equivalent (Type 1) ZK-EVM, that supports all EVM opcodes in a Layer 2 architecture that is decentralized, permissionless, and secure.

We are strong believers in the power of zero-knowledge proofs and the Ethereum ecosystem, as demonstrated by our extensive experience in building the world’s first ZK rollup in 2017. Hence we are looking to expand our team with more talented and determined individuals that share our vision and mission.

We are looking for a Partnerships Manager to join our team and lead the expansion and integration of builders and partners into the Taiko ecosystem. You will work with Ethereum applications, infrastructure providers, and builders of all sorts to help them reach their goals, and help Taiko grow a thriving ecosystem. Rollups have come a long way in extending Ethereum, and this role can be crucial in bringing the technology to the sweet spot of fabled mass-adoption.

About the role

• Design, implement, and execute processes to attract and service ecosystem partners (application developers, infrastructure providers, related products)
• Coordinate with existing ecosystem partners on product updates and ensure any technical issues are resolved
• Lead strategies to differentiate and expand the reach of Taiko and Ethereum
• Manage new business and partnership enquiries
• Use data and feedback you have gathered to inform internal priorities and align all necessary teams thereon

About you

• Experience in a business development role within the Ethereum/crypto industry
• Understanding of Ethereum and the Layer 2/rollup landscape
• Ability and desire to write and speak publicly to a technical and non-technical audience
• Strong interpersonal skills, and a love for helping achieve optimal outcomes for partners
• Highly curious, organized, and eager to learn
• A deep sense of ownership in your work, capable of seeing a complex project through from start to finish

Benefits

The role is remote, offers competitive compensation (cash + equity), and an opportunity to help scale Ethereum - a technology and ecosystem that is changing the world.
