LATAM Growth Lead

At Matter Labs, we believe freedom drives progress and prosperity. We don’t see ourselves as a company, but as a team aligned around a single mission: to advance personal freedom for all (see ZK Credo).

To achieve this goal, we’re building zkSync — a credibly neutral, fully open source technology stack and network on top of Ethereum, which is owned and governed by its community. We use advanced cryptography called zero-knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum infinitely without compromising on security or decentralization. With a world-class team, a community of over 1M supporters across Twitter + Discord, and hundreds of millions $ in funding, we have abundant resources to accomplish the mission.

We are looking for a Latam Growth Lead to join our incredible team at Matter Labs. This role is integral to our growth strategy and expansion across the Latin American continent, focusing on scaling our marketing, educational, and community programs in the region. As we continue to secure major deals with large brands, governments and major clients, your expertise will be crucial in developing and executing marketing campaigns and growth initiatives.

This role is fully remote and open to candidates based in the UTC -3/5 timezone, with a preference for candidates located in Argentina, Mexico or Columbia as their home base.

What You'll be Doing

Growth:
Create strategic alliances: Facilitate meetings and collaboration opportunities between companies, governments, investors and entrepreneurs interested in the potential of zk stack with focus on real world use cases in the LATAM region (scale locally across the continent)
Lead creative activations: As an expert in local motivations, you should tap into the passions of the local economy. Creating alliances and experiential activations between the zkSync ecosystem of LATAM-based projects, and partnering with traditional organizations (e.g. sports teams, banks, movie theaters etc.,) to support major onboarding to projects as well as brand building for zkSync
Lead local communications and advertising: You will act as the local point of contact for our PR agency as well as field initial press inquiries and support community projects. You will also support the ideation and execution of local advertising campaigns to support our suite of local partners
Scale out the organization: You will be tasked with finding ways to locally build out the presence of zkSync within LATAM. Whether it’s distinct regional leads, building out a plan for street teams, or working with contractors – it will be paramount to strategically scale headcount to meet the demands of the region
Support local institutions and partners: with projects like QuarkID taking off in Buenos Aires and expanding across latam, this role will focus on scaling out day to day marketing and growth initiatives local to the region. With a primary focus on Argentina, as well as expanding across the region, the aim will be to creatively help scale top projects from the zkSync ecosystem to achieve hyperscale
Present the latest trends: offering conferences, panels and workshops given by leading experts in the field of Ethereum addressing current and future topics of the ecosystem
Lead events taking place throughout LATAM: the Latin American community tends to be very vocal in calling for official events (those organized by the EF, and others). but also, they tend to bring their communities together to talk and discuss many protocols and projects, e.g. governance, scalability, security and more

Community:
Connect the community: Provide IRL meetings and collaboration space for developers, institutions and companies working with the local Ethereum ecosystem, enabling interaction and networking amongst the zkSync community
Scale on-the-ground presence: Familiarity hosting events, meetups, and developer-focused activations throughout latam is a core focus for this role. Enabling opportunities for members of the zkSync and Ethereum community to mindshare, collaborate on building, and strengthen the ecosystem through in person activations
Promote adoption: Showcase use cases and practical examples of how Ethereum is transforming various industries to encourage widespread adoption. In our case, the ZK stack and the ecosystem of apps built on zkSync
Driving development: Facilitating hackathons and competitions to encourage developers to create innovative Ethereum-based solutions, mainly in those that take place in the region (from Mexico to Argentina), embracing the entire Spanish-speaking community with the idea of transmitting the news about the development of the ZK stack

Education:
Promote education: Organize training sessions and workshops to spread knowledge about zkSync Era and zk stack, targeting both beginners and experts
Create alliances with Universities: Facilitate meetings and collaboration opportunities between our team and local universities, develop initiatives that promote technological inclusion and generate opportunities for students from all LATAM
