RemoteUnited StatesPart-time
About the Job
We are seeking a Senior Association Manager with deep experience in Web3, venture capital, and startup ecosystems to help operate and scale a Web3-focused venture & investment association. This role is designed for a seasoned association leader who already understands Pre-IPO, IPO, and post-IPO capital pathways, and has previously managed or built high-level founder, investor, or capital-market communities.

What We’re Looking For:
This role is not for general nonprofit administrators.
We are specifically looking for someone who:
  • Has direct experience managing venture, startup, investment, or Web3-related associations or communities.
  • Understands the full capital lifecycle: Pre-Seed, Pre-IPO, IPO, and Post-IPO.
  • Already maintains a strong personal network (“own collection”) of founders, investors, family offices, funds, or capital-market professionals.
  • Has successfully recruited, onboarded, and activated senior-level members into high-value ecosystems.
  • Is comfortable operating in environments involving capital, governance, discretion, and trust.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead day-to-day operations of a Web3 venture & investment association.
  • Design and execute member recruitment and onboarding strategies for founders, investors, and partners.
  • Actively connect members to capital pathways, programs, committees, and strategic collaborations.
  • Manage relationships with senior stakeholders, advisors, and board members.
  • Oversee association events, private forums, communications, and ecosystem growth.
  • Ensure the association functions as a real value network, not a passive membership list.

Qualifications:
  • 10+ years of experience managing venture, investment, Web3, or capital-market–focused associations or communities.
  • Proven background working with founders, funds, family offices, or institutional capital.
  • Demonstrated success in ecosystem building, member activation, and high-trust community management.
  • Strong strategic thinking, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • High level of professionalism, discretion, and execution capability.
