About CoinFund

At CoinFund, our mission is to Champion the Leaders of the New Internet, powered by foresight as active investors to achieve extraordinary outcomes. Since 2015, we’ve partnered with the most promising creators behind blockchain, web3, and decentralization technologies that are shaping the future of the internet itself. Through our seed, venture and liquid strategies, we are a cryptonative firm that invests in emergent technologies before they’re trends. Today, CoinFund has a portfolio of over 120 companies, protocols, and projects across the blockchain space – and we are just getting started.

We are as diligent and thoughtful with our hiring process as we are with our investment practice. We look for candidates who are invested in the long-game of crypto and can’t imagine a better industry in which to spend the next several years of their career. Additionally, we align with individuals who are mission-driven – those who abandon ego and act in service of our investors, our portfolio company founders, and, ultimately, the crypto end-user. Finally, we optimize for those with a healthy risk appetite. We are excited by talent who can thrive in ambiguity and embrace both the vicissitudes and the promises of this breakthrough industry.

The Department: Marketing

The Marketing Team drives visibility, advocacy and activation of the groundbreaking work CoinFund and our portfolio companies achieve. It starts with our mission: We champion the leaders of the new internet. To ‘champion’ is to stand behind; to storytell; to shout about; to connect the dots. The Marketing team flexes across interdisciplinary channels from events and community programming to branding and GTM strategy to serve the firm and our founders through a cryptonative lens.

The Role: Director of Content

Are you obsessed with the evolving news and narratives of web3? CoinFund seeks a creative Head of Content to oversee the strategy, development and execution of story bites and experimental media for the firm. Reporting to the Head of Marketing, this individual will develop a playbook blending web3 tools with web2 editorial excellence, while defining the overall brand and KPIs of CoinFund content. We are technologists with strong conviction and non-consensus views; this is a new and critical role for Marketing to serve as a partner to our Investment team this year. Note: the Marketing industry is changing rapidly; success in this role will require someone who both loves to write and embraces tools in design and AI to enhance their creative vision to build complete campaigns. The ideal candidate is as comfortable collaborating on a technical whitepaper as they are crafting concise copy that transforms big ideas from the complex to easily digestible. You remember your favorite crypto tweet and have a strong point of view about how to storytell with founders or our external partners pre-, during, and post-event for a seamless brand experience. Those who love to experiment or consider themselves multidisciplinary are encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities:

  • Own end-to-end strategy, development and execution of the CoinFund editorial calendar across long- and short- form written content and video platforms
  • Grow and maintain CoinFund social community channels as web3 communities shift (currently X, Warpcast and LinkedIn)
  • Partner with leaders cross-functionally to help develop emerging theory and craft ghostwritten content related to new technical and investment theses, community events, conference recaps, non-investment subject expertise and more
  • Build, track and grow baseline metrics for our content and community engagement
  • Work closely with Head of Marketing to inform brand development work, unifying design and social elements for one consistent look and feel
  • Bring new ideas and best practices to the firm leveraging trusted creative partners and emerging tools in GTM and AI

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience
  • Minimum of 6 years experience in a marketing, content, devrel or PR role (web2 or web3)
  • Must have at least one prior role in blockchain, crypto or web3
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills required; impeccable grammar and fast draft synthesis without the use of ChatGPT
  • Current user of X, Farcaster, Descript and AI imaging tools
  • We play in the sandbox. Must be passionate about web3; prior personal experience as a developer, retail investor or misc blockchain user is highly preferred

Preferred Strengths

  • We hope you love to write. A journalism background, personal blog, newsletter etc would be great
  • Exceedingly organized; able to develop several pieces of work concurrently and comfortable with simultaneous deadlines
  • Experience leading consensus and coordinating across departments to develop a meaningful point of view; enough technical and market understanding to develop a personal opinion
  • Broad knowledge of the current crypto asset ecosystem participants, blockchains, and underlying technology frameworks is helpful
  • Academic or practical familiarity with smart contract languages, deployments, and platforms is a plus
