Web3 Talent Curator & Job Board Lead - MENA

A Web3 job board is only as good as the people curating it. Anyone can scrape listings and repost them. What Trendy Career is building is different: a curated, context-rich job board where every listing is assessed for legitimacy, accuracy, and relevance by someone who actually understands the space — who knows the difference between a serious protocol and a two-month-old project with a Notion whitepaper, who can tell whether a "Head of DeFi" role is real or vague, and who understands what Web3 professionals actually look for when evaluating an opportunity.

You are that person.

You have spent real time on-chain.

You have looked at job opportunities in this space from the inside, not as an HR professional evaluating keywords, but as a practitioner who knows what makes a role legitimate, compelling, and worth applying for.

In this role you will own the quality, depth, and growth of Trendy Career's Web3 job board — from curation standards and employer relationships to how listings are structured, priced, and presented to a crypto-native audience.

Own the full lifecycle of Web3 job listings on the platform: sourcing, vetting, structuring, enriching, and publishing

Develop and enforce curation standards for Web3 listings — legitimacy signals, role accuracy, compensation transparency, and project quality indicators

Build and manage direct relationships with Web3 employers: protocols, exchanges, DAOs, Web3-native companies, and traditional firms hiring into crypto roles in UAE/GCC

Research and identify Web3 companies expanding into the UAE market before they begin active hiring — get in early

Develop enriched listing formats specific to Web3: on-chain context about the employer, token/equity compensation structures, remote vs. on-site norms, and role-specific technical requirements written accurately

Monitor competitor platforms (Crypto Jobs List, Web3 Career, Indeed crypto vertical, LinkedIn) for gaps Trendy Career can exploit

Build a systematic approach to employer acquisition: outreach, pricing tiers, listing packages, and renewal

Maintain a live employer landscape database for UAE/GCC Web3: who is hiring, in which functions, at what seniority, and with what compensation structures

Active, multi-network on-chain presence — verifiable wallet history across protocols will be reviewed during the process; this is not a preference, it is a baseline

The ability to look at a Web3 job listing and immediately identify whether it is accurate, credible, and well-constructed — because you have been on the candidate side of this market as a practitioner

Direct familiarity with the range of roles that exist in Web3 — not just developers; protocol researchers, tokenomics leads, DeFi risk managers, on-chain analysts, community leads, BD — and what each actually requires

Strong written English — fluent and professional; you will be writing enriched job descriptions, employer communications, and platform content that a crypto-native audience will judge harshly if it is vague or inaccurate

Commercial instinct: this role has a revenue component; you need to be comfortable owning employer relationships and contributing to the platform's monetisation

4+ years of professional experience; Web3 has been a sustained, active part of your life for at least 2–3 years

Based in Dubai or fully committed to relocating from GCC — Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Riyadh, Bahrain, or Kuwait

Strong advantage:

Prior experience in talent, recruiting, or job board operations — in Web3 or adjacent sectors

Existing relationships with Web3 employers or hiring managers in UAE/GCC

Familiarity with how token compensation, vesting structures, and DAO contributor payments are structured in practice — not in theory

Base salary: AED 420,000 – 650,000 per year (approx.

USD 114,000 – 177,000)

Performance bonus tied to employer acquisition, listing volume, and board revenue growth

Total annual compensation target: AED 540,000 – 820,000+

Ownership of a product vertical with real commercial upside

A platform with existing regional traction — you are building on a foundation, not from zero

Tools, data subscriptions, and events budget covered

Flexible working arrangement; Dubai base
