Governance Onboarding Lead

Governance Accessibility is one of Optimism’s key strategic Intents. Onboarding more governance participants will not only increase the resilience of the system but should improve decision making as a broader range of diverse perspectives participate.

The most common feedback we receive about our governance system is that although it’s innovative and thoughtful, it’s also hard to understand and navigate. The Governance Onboarding Lead will be responsible for taking a holistic approach to improving the accessibility of Optimism governance and onboarding new participants.
