Head of Marketing

Pylons is a seed-stage startup on a mission to bring digital items to the world and power meaningful value and self-expression for all. We believe that blockchain will power so much more than currency, and that value belongs to the people who create it.

Built on Cosmos, and incubated at Tendermint, Pylons is a fast and interoperable system for brands and creators to build engaging products with meaningful NFT experiences.

We’re looking for a Head of Marketing to further our mission of making blockchain and NFTs accessible for everyday people. You’ll partner with the Pylons leadership to define and execute the marketing strategy both for the Pylons ecosystem and for our first-party products.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need experience building and executing marketing strategies from scratch for a variety of B2B and B2C products, a high degree of comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to balance strategic work with rolling up your sleeves to execute.

If you’re excited by the idea of working with a small, passionate team to bring blockchain to the mainstream, let’s talk!
