The Ethereum Foundation is on the hunt for a full-time social media manager to help bridge the perceived gap between the foundation and its user base. The remote role will focus on managing the foundation’s social media presence across platforms like X, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

The new hire will be responsible for amplifying Ethereum ecosystem updates and organizing campaigns to engage contributors. This move comes amid ongoing community tensions, particularly regarding the foundation’s recent ETH sales.

New Role Targets Community Outreach and Transparency

Josh Stark, a long-time Ethereum Foundation member, announced the job opening on X, signaling an effort to address community concerns. The listing requires deep Ethereum knowledge, strong writing skills, and experience managing high-profile accounts with over 10,000 followers.

The foundation’s decision to sell 200 ETH (worth $672,000) in early 2025 sparked outrage among users, who argued that the sales erode trust and should fund developers or staking instead. Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, defended the sales, citing regulatory pressures and risks of contentious hard forks.
