We are looking for a Web3 Governance Project Manager to guide and evolve our governance processes, as well as drive communication, education and community building efforts.

You will play a key role in facilitating 3 pillars of Polygon Governance and help manage their entire lifecycle from conception to implementation.

We’re excited to talk to candidates with experience in the following backgrounds:

• Managed or played a meaningful role in governance, community or operations for another decentralized network

• Facilitated complex changes across a versatile base of stakeholders as a technical product or project manager

Your Role

• Ensure a clean and clear operational flow based on set expectations of progressive decentralization with the Polygon community.

• Provide initiatives to evolve the governance process with a thoughtful balance of efficiency, accountability, security and decentralization.

Your Responsibilities

• Be the driver of new and existing governance processes.

• Work closely with Polygon Labs engineering, business and communications teams to align and educate all affected stakeholders on proposals’ implications and increase community participation in Governance discussion.

• Remove roadblocks, resolve ambiguity, and provide frequent, clear communication throughout a proposal’s lifecycle, while working with community stakeholders. 

What you’ll need

• Strong communication and collaboration skills. You deliver messages clearly and concisely.

• Deep roots within the web3 community, having played a role in communities across the space. You know what makes people tick and can leverage it to drive engagement.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment. Your default is to proactively share information and solutions with the team, rather than wait to be asked.

• Deep comprehension of existing decentralized infrastructure governance models. You have designed, implemented or overseen governance operations for a decentralized network. 

• Familiarity with corporate governance, and critical thinking around decentralized networks, security and economics. 

• Excellent project or operational management with a bias towards action. You’re adept at building and managing a process and have experience writing technical or process-based design documents. At any given moment, you know the status of anything within your operational flow and have built user-friendly dashboards or flowcharts to serve a larger audience.

• You’re experienced in managing environments with multi-stakeholder interests and are not afraid of changing product requirements. 

• You’re a technical person or aren’t scared of complex designs. You are comfortable distilling complex concepts down to simple, digestible explanations.
