Solana Ecosystem Lead
Figment
Figment is the world’s leading provider of blockchain infrastructure. We provide the most comprehensive staking solution for our over 200+ institutional clients including exchanges, wallets, foundations, custodians, and large token holders to earn rewards on their crypto assets. These clients rely on Figment’s institutional staking service including rewards optimization, rapid API development, rewards reporting, partner integrations, governance, and slashing protection. Figment is backed by industry experts, financial institutions and our global team across twenty three countries. This all leads to our mission to support the adoption, growth and long term success of the Web3 ecosystem.
We are a growth stage technology company – looking for people who are builders and doers. People who are comfortable plotting their course through ambiguity and uncertainty to drive impact and who are excited to work in new ways and empower a generative company culture.
Premise
To win as the staking provider with the best risk-adjusted rewards, we need to know more about how protocols and staking rewards work than anyone else. And we need to directly communicate these details with customers in multiple formats: individual customer pre-sales, post-sales support, group webinars, written articles, and conferences.
As we plan to rapidly launch 15 new networks in 2024, we need to scale our network expertise on the upcoming networks, as well as our two core Tier 0 networks: Ethereum and Solana.
Strategy
Smart humans in real life.
To extend our successful relationship-based sales strategy, we should seek to make Figment network experts directly customer facing with enduring customer relationships. Think of it like a specialized Customer Success function: “your staking and rewards expert”.
In addition, our network experts should be publicly visible as known personalities in our space. Webinars, conferences, and public speaking are important to establishing Figment as the most knowledgeable provider.
