  • Strategic thinker with the ability to identify compelling story angles and content topics
  • Experience managing external content contributors and reviewing/approving content submissions

What the job involves

  • We are seeking an experienced Senior Media Relations & Content Strategy Manager to join our team
  • Develop and implement media relations strategies to enhance brand visibility and reputation
  • Collaborate with media outlets and journalists to pitch and coordinate coverage of company events and developments
  • Lead content strategy by curating article topics and coordinating content creation by external writers
  • Review and approve content submissions to ensure alignment with brand messaging and quality standards
  • Manage relationships with key media contacts and influencers in the industry

  • Test: You may be required to complete an online test or a take-home assignment to assess your skills relevant to the position
  • Team Interview: A more in-depth session lasting 45-60 minutes with the team you'll be working with, focusing on your technical skills and team fit

Our take

One of the leading hacker ecosystems, DoraHacks has connected more than 300,000 hackers and developers around the world. Utilising rolling incentives - or “bounties” - for collaboration in resolving business's tech issues, DoraHacks represents an organic and near limitless community and recruitment platform.

And with the organic nature of DoraHacks comes a near limitless realm of possibilities. In 2022, a Series B of $20 million dollars emboldened DoraHacks to up the scale and pace of their Hackathons and recruitment drives, though will limit them to working only through public blockchain company Cardano.

Cardano is a better partnership for DoraHack’s mission for hacker decentralisation than Ethereum, the blockchain’s direct competitor, due to its dual layer flexibility. With other backers including Binance Labs, FTX, and Circle Ventures, DoraHacks is set to propel into the future, especially as they start tackling the new frontiers of Web3.
