DAO Operations Lead
DAO Operations Leads keep decentralized organizations running smoothly. You'll manage contributor payments, coordinate governance proposals, facilitate voting, handle treasury operations, and make sure the DAO's many moving pieces work together. It's like being a COO, but for an internet-native organization with no central office.
