And see below for some guidance on PNF’s identified talent needs after feedback from the broader community, as well as our own reflections over the last few months:
Need 1: Technical leader/visionary
-
Position: Technical Leader (Future Focused CTO concept) - Board Director (but can be an observer instead, depending on the circumstances)
-
Why We Need This: PNF needs to steward the ecosystem. A core component of this is to capitalise on opportunities presented by technology advancement (technical partnerships, commercial opportunities) and to protect the ecosystem from threats (Existential technical shifts, time and resources rabbitholes/graveyards). The Technical Leader will support the board by acting as the main technical lead within the foundation and act as a conduit to technical teams across the ecosystem. They will play a major role in product strategy and evangelism for the ecosystem.
-
Key Requirements:
- Knowledge: In-depth understanding of web3 ecosystem and blockchains, and particular knowledge of developer needs and trends
- Skills: Experienced as previous CTO or Technical leader of a web3 protocol, Excellent communicator and public speaker, Experienced leader ideally as a founder or founding team member for major rollup or protocol
- Attitude: Candid, Driven, Focused
Need 2: Industry leader
-
Position: Industry Leader - Board Observer
-
Why We Need This: POKT is still relatively unknown and is seeking to increase awareness and consideration among core devs at major protocols. The industry leader will support the board with knowledge and other relationships that help us pursue these objectives. The Industry leader may also be the Technical Leader need, or it may be a standalone requirement.
-
Key Requirements:
- Knowledge: Deep industry knowledge across web3, blockchains and protocols
