  • A genuine passion for web3 technologies and decentralized applications.

  • Deep understanding of blockchain technology and regular experience using web3 dApps.

  • Excellent communication, relationship-building, and negotiation skills.

  • A proactive, self-starter attitude with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

  • Familiarity with CRM and partner management tools, with strong attention to detail.
