The Glo dollar is the anti-poverty version of the dollar. The more it's used, the more basic we generate for people in extreme poverty. If enough people adopt Glo as money in their daily lives, we can end extreme poverty.
We’re building the community of early adopters of the Glo dollar, a non-profit, fully backed stablecoin. As much as possible, Glo enthusiasts try to use Glo rather than USD whenever they do money things. At first, this means converting some unused savings to Glo. But over time we'll make it possible to use Glo for payments and receiving your salary in. As more and more people do this, we'll be able to generate a basic income for millions of people in extreme poverty.
Building community at Glo is going to be unlike anywhere else. We’re sparking a social movement of people—and later companies—who use Glo as a currency because they want to see the number of basic income recipients go up.
We're still (very) early, but Glo has the potential to revolutionize philantrophy. Right now, "charity" is synonymous with "donating money". We're inventing a second way to contribute to charity, which we're calling passive philanthropy. Analogous to passive income, passive philantrophy doesn't cost money or time, but rather happens as a side-effect of using money. This new model has the potential to be a breaktrough in the fight against extremy poverty.
We want to market using Glo as a currency as an ethical choice, not unlike driving electric or eating less meat. If you’re pro-UBI and want a fairer economy, you use Glo.
We're a non-profit. Unlike with most cryptocurrencies, no one is making money here (except the recipients of course).
We’re looking for a strategic Head of Community manager to
- Shape the culture, systems and structure of our social movement
- Design and execute on the various ways for Glo enthusiasts to get involved and contribute to the adoption and advocacy of Glo
- Define, drive and evaluate success metrics of the Glo community
- Figure out the right cadence, style and media of progress communication. We're going to lift more and more people out of extreme poverty. How do we rally the community around this in the most productive and compelling way?
You’ll be able to set this up from the start and scale it globally. As Glo grows, you’ll build out the community team and scale the community into a broad social movement.
We’re looking for people that:
- Have a track record of strategically designing, running and scaling a community
- Are scrappy, pragmatic, self-starting, strategic
- Have a spidey sense for community sentiment and opportunities
- Are effective in leading the rest of the team in their interactions with the community
No need to check all of these boxes! If you resonate with some of these, we’d love to talk.
The kind of things you’d be doing:
- Design, grow and manage a global movement of Glo advocates
- Create the environment in which community members can feel true belonging, involvement and ownership
- Build the community team
- Set up and run community communication platforms
- Design commitment slopes, funnels and involvement programs
- Design and implement periodic communication around growth and success
- Work with marketing to set up growth campaigns
- Work with the economics team to run initiatives that solve bottlenecks for Glo adoption and demand
- Work with the whole team to make sure we’re connected to the community
