Role Description We are seeking a relentless Ecosystem Growth Manager to solve one of the hardest challenges in Web3: the Cold Start problem of a new Layer-1. You will be the architect of both supply and demand within the AIVM ecosystem—responsible for onboarding GPU compute providers, attracting AI builders, and securing enterprise data partners who will power real-world adoption. This is not a token-sales role. You are championing a decentralized cloud infrastructure that competes directly with centralized giants while offering cryptographic proofs and verifiable inference. Your work will define the early foundation—and long-term success—of AIVM’s ecosystem. Responsibilities - Supply-Side Growth (DePIN Infrastructure) - Identify, evaluate, and onboard GPU clusters, independent data centers, and miners repurposing hardware for AI compute. - Build and manage a high-quality pipeline of Resource Providers contributing compute power to AIVM. - Ensure smooth onboarding processes and coordinate technical integration with engineering teams. - Developer & Protocol Adoption - Scout top-tier AI developers, agents-as-a-service builders, and Web3 protocols requiring verifiable inference. - Persuade teams to deploy their AI agents, models, and applications on AIVM instead of centralized cloud providers. - Support builders through onboarding, integration, and Mainnet deployment. - Strategic Partnerships - Negotiate high-impact integrations with Data Availability layers, Oracle providers, enterprise infrastructure partners, custody solutions, and tooling providers. - Establish partnerships that increase AIVM’s enterprise readiness and ecosystem composability. - Incentive Program Design - Collaborate with Product and Growth teams to structure targeted incentives: Ecosystem grants, “Global Hunt” acquisition campaigns, and liquidity mining and supply-side reward programs. - Prioritize quality over quantity—attract long-term contributors, not mercenary participants. - Enterprise & Crypto-Native Alignment - Bridge communication between enterprise partners (who operate in fiat) and the crypto-native architecture of AIVM. - Translate technical, economic, and compliance requirements into clear pathways for adoption. Qualifications - 3+ years of experience in Web3 BD or Ecosystem Growth, ideally at a Layer-1, Layer-2, or DePIN (Decentralized Infrastructure) project. - Technical fluency in AI and blockchain fundamentals: understanding inference vs. training, the value of H100-class GPUs, and the importance of sovereign chains. - Strong network of builders and operators—including node operators, GPU providers, validators, AI developers, and protocol teams. - Proven track record of closing deals end-to-end: from outreach to negotiation to technical integration to Mainnet launch. - Highly autonomous and able to build, manage, and scale your own pipeline in a fast-paced environment. Preferred Qualifications - Experience onboarding compute providers or managing infrastructure supply. - Background working with enterprise AI workloads or cloud infrastructure. - Familiarity with incentive design, token economics, or ecosystem grant frameworks. - Strong understanding of modular blockchain stacks, verifiable compute, and decentralized execution layers. Benefits - Work alongside the ChainGPT core team on high-impact AI and Web3 products across our ecosystem. - Remote-first setup with flexible hours, focused on outcomes, trust, and ownership. - Competitive compensation, with performance-based upside where applicable to the role. - Fast-moving environment with direct collaboration across all team members, including senior management, and clear accountability with no micromanagement. - The support to do your best work, including the tools you need, structured onboarding, and clear room to grow.
