Head of Growth

Talisman is a multi-chain wallet that allows anybody to take control of their crypto assets and leverage a new world of scalable, multi-chain applications. Despite the fact that there are more actively developed blockchain ecosystems than ever, most wallets offer a poor quality cross-chain experience for their users. Talisman is harnessing the natively multi-chain architecture of Polkadot to provide a slick and seamless user experience that absolutely anybody can understand and master, without high fees or insecure bridges.

Co-founded in April 2021 by web3 veterans with a cumulative 12 years experience building crypto-tech, Talisman has just launched it’s public beta. We have our sights sharply focused on the mass-market and entering into a growth phase. Now is an incredibly fortuitous time to join our happy startup! You’ll have the opportunity to work with a world-class team, experience epic wins, losses and learn as a part of our growth story from 1000 to 1,000,000 users.

About the role

Talisman is looking for a Head of Growth who has a broad understanding of the web3 ecosystem. You should be able to identify market opportunities, create clever and pragmatic strategies to grow our user-base as well by orchestrating the execution of those strategies. While the role will be highly strategic, we are initially looking for somebody who is happy to get their hands dirty and do the work themselves.

As the Head of Growth, your work may include, but not be limited to:

• Leveraging web3-tech to grow our community and user-base (eg. NFT drops and token-gated experiences)


• Create engaging content to be shared across our organic and paid channels


• Organise sponsorships and paid partnerships


• Coordinate press opportunities and appearances including podcasts, keynotes, articles etc


• Manage communications and a content calendar


• Track, analyse and optimise growth activities


• Hire, buy and build new capabilities within the team to scale up successful growth activities

About you

• You have 1-5 years experience in a similar role


• You understand what blockchains are useful for and what they’re not useful for


• You know how to build models, measure and understand the impact of your work


• You’re happy and effective working in a remote team


• You’re intrinsically interested in web3 (crypto, NFTs and DAOs, etc)


• You have prior domain experience or a secret weapon that will help you in the role:
  
  
  • Formal digital marketing training
  
  
  • Early employee or founder of previous start-up
  
  
  • Examples of past growth hacking
  
  
  • Video production skills
  
  
  • Prior events management experience
  
  
  • A strong network in PR and Media
  
  
  • You have a large social media following
  
  
  • Dangerously good dance moves
  
  
  
  

Compensation

• $150-250k USD Base Salary


• A fat stack of equity and tokens to stuff under your mattress.


• Expenses paid travel to team off-sites and conferences


• Whatever gear you need (laptop, headphones, etc)

Why Talisman?

✨ Beautiful product

We’re building a buttery smooth product for an emerging ecosystem (Polkadot) that has been sorely lacking a beautiful and easy to use wallet. We REALLY care about UX and making a silky and stunning piece of software. Give it a test and you’ll see what I mean.

Remote First

We are a small team (13~) with people all over the world. That means we will always be remote first, you can work anywhere, forever. A few of us do live in Melbourne, Australia and we have a sweet office in the CBD that you won’t believe at first (I promise it’s pretty awesome).

Community focused

Being a crypto project on Discord means we have also spent time building a community of like minded individuals that are excited about the Talisman wallet. We host weekly community calls to discuss progress and what we’re working on. Without community there is no product.

❌✉️ No email (seriously)

We’re Discord natives - all our chat, video calls and community engagement is via Discord. Other than meeting invites, this means no email, ever (seriously).

No feature factories

We don’t do straight up agile. We’re using an interesting model pioneered by Basecamp called, Shape Up. The aim is to empower developers to collaborate and work on problems, not just be a feature factory. Any keyboard warriors also free time every month to do whatever they please.
