Lead, Superteam Kenya
Solana exists to bring financial services and capital markets to all 5.5 billion smartphone users regardless of wealth, location, or politics.
About Superteam
Superteam is the global arm for talent & founder onboarding in the Solana ecosystem. We operate in 20+ countries and are the engine of growth for Solana worldwide. Superteam members have generated over $20 million in community earnings and raised over $100 million in venture capital.
We do this through a stack of programs:
- Superteam Earn: our talent platform connecting builders to paid work across the ecosystem. 100,000+ signed-up profiles and $10M+ in earnings generated to date.
- Superteam Black: our founder success program, backing the most ambitious teams from idea to raise.
- Superteam Talent: career services and placement, helping ecosystem talent find the right roles and helping teams hire the right people.
- Bounties, hackathons, and grants: the on-ramps that pull new talent into the ecosystem and reward them for shipping.
The Role
We’re hiring a lead to own the growth of the Solana ecosystem in Kenya. You’ll find the best founders & apps in the country and bring them to Solana. You’ll be measured on the real outcomes that follow such as companies built, venture raised, and community GDP generated.
You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy and be accountable for results.
What you’ll own
-
- Talent Discovery. Build the distribution to reach Kenya’s most promising builders and operators who aren’t in crypto yet, developers, fintech teams, asset managers, capital markets professionals, RWA issuers, etc.
- Productive Community. Organise builders into a high-output community and convert that energy into measurable results: venture raised, jobs and gigs created, and community GDP through bounties and hackathon prizes.
- Support Kenyan Companies. Identify the strongest founders and teams in Kenya already building on Solana or in crypto more broadly and support them with distribution, sales, and GTM across the Solana ecosystem.
- Make Solana apps win locally. Help ecosystem apps expand in Kenya by helping with launch partners, compliance, distribution, and talent from the local community.
- Enterprise Education. Produce and distribute education programs, webinars, seminars designed for enterprise & government education.
- Help support and expand government and BD efforts in the East Africa region. Represent Solana in Eastern Africa in front of regulators, financial institutions and payments companies working to help to educate them about opportunities within Solana.
Who you are
- Deeply networked across Kenya’s tech, startup, or financial ecosystem
- A natural connector who can rally people around a mission and ship without being managed
- Genuinely curious about crypto, Solana, and the future of open financial infrastructure
- Low ego and high agency willing to work in service of the best founders in Kenya
