About the role

About Us:

Blockworks is a financial media brand that delivers breaking news and premium insights about digital assets to millions of investors. Our content, newsletters, podcasts, and events provide investors with the critical analysis and information they need to make smarter decisions about digital assets.

Who You Are

You consider yourself a crypto enthusiast and a podcast connoisseur. You are a technical storyteller who can break down complex blockchain infrastructure concepts into compelling narratives. You intimately know the evolving landscape of modular blockchain architecture and are a natural connector who can engage with technical founders, researchers, and thought leaders. You're not just comfortable behind the mic and the camera, but you consider it your home. You're a host and pride yourself on your ability to think critically about meaningful content. You provide a balanced voice who can maintain neutrality while driving meaningful technical discussions.

What You’ll Do

As our Podcast Host for Expansion, you'll co-host and help produce one of the most successful shows and brands in the Blockworks podcast network. You'll be the face, voice, and thought leader of the brand, helping to grow the audience and impact of the show.

Every day will look a little different, but in general, you will do things like:

  • Host the Expansion Podcast: You'll be directly responsible for planning, scripting, hosting, and recording two episodes of the show per week.

  • Develop Podcast Content: You'll work to design and develop the content and themes for each episode of Expansion, using the latest news and events in the crypto and macro industries to help inform topics.

  • Identify, Source, and Secure Guests: You'll proactively work to identify podcast guests who have untapped potential for creating exceptional stories relevant to our in-house shows.

  • Contribute to Newsletters: You'll partner with our editorial team to write contributions to the newsletter twice per week.

  • Drive Social Engagement: You'll regularly leverage personal and professional social channels to help grow the Expansion audience through exceptional content and authentic marketing.

  • Partner with Sales: You'll partner and collaborate with our sales team to help build new areas of sponsorship and strengthen the deep relationship with current sponsors.

  • Learn, Embrace, and Grow the Blockworks Audience: In conjunction with the rest of the production team, you'll work to understand the core audience segments and proactively uncover insights that will stimulate engagement and content evolution.

  • Build the Expansion Brand IRL: In partnership with other Blockworks team members, you'll help grow the Expansion brand by representing the show at in-person events, including listener meet-ups, Hackathons, Blockworks Conferences, and more.

  • Balance Technical Depth with Approachability: Maintain the show's position as the definitive technical discussion platform while ensuring content remains accessible to a broader technical audience.

  • Shape Technical Discourse: Guide discussions that advance understanding of critical challenges in the modular blockchain space, from proving times to cross-chain communication.

Experimentation is frequent at Blockworks. Comfortability with being uncomfortable is a must.

What You’ve Done Before

  • Experience interviewing technical experts and driving substantive discussions.

  • You have an uncanny ability to discern compelling stories and are always on the look to find the engaging needle in the haystack of noise.

  • Lastly, you've been historically successful at growing an audience and following and are excited to do it again.
