Metaplex Studios

Remote job description

Metaplex Studios is the official standard for Solana NFTs and the largest NFT ecosystem in the world. In less than one year since launch, we have experienced massive growth with over 11 million NFTs created using the Metaplex protocol, facilitating over $2.6 billion in commerce for developers and creatives of all kinds. Solanas energy efficiency, low cost, and fast transaction speeds provide a unique opportunity now to build a future for NFTs as the infrastructure for an increasingly broad scope of use cases; it has already been used for over 85k projects in gaming, arts & collectibles, marketplaces, developer tools, and more.

On a mission to empower creators, Metaplex champions a world full of diverse perspectives, creativity and art. For this to be possible, creators must have increased access to their audience, powerful tools that are easy to use, and be able to retain more financial benefits from the sales and use of their work. We believe tokens and blockchain technology are a critical tool for this purpose. For more information, visit www.metaplex.com.

Reporting to the CMO, you will partner at the Product, Community and Corporate levels to develop insight-driven breakthrough campaigns that communicate the evolution and benefits of the Metaplex Protocol.

  • Mastered a balance of left- and right-brained leadership. Inspires their organization to create without boundaries, while maintaining an extremely high orientation toward detail, process and communication. Can keep a production plan on target, drive toward deadlines.
  • Succinct and compelling writing ability. You know how to clearly communicate our value propositions and the direct benefit of our solutions. Understands highly technical concepts and can translate into common language that captures audience mindshare
