Community Growth (Contractor)

Walrus is building a Verifiable Data Platform for AI Builders. We're seeking a Community Growth Coordinator to build Walrus's presence in AI and non-web3 communities, and to support the execution of community programs and events. This role is defined first by your ability to build real presence in communities Walrus doesn't yet have-every other responsibility supports that goal. This is a 6-month contract position.

What you'll do

• Scout new communities and opportunities, with a focus on AI-native and non-web3 spaces, identifying fit and prioritizing where to invest time.
• Build and maintain genuine relationships with those communities beyond initial contact.
• Drive engagement and support activation once a relationship is established.
• Engage directly in community discussions across target communities; track recurring themes, questions, and pain points, and surface emerging insights as input for future community programs.
• Bring community observations into regular syncs so they inform ongoing planning.
• Contribute to Reddit strategy, moderation, and content sourcing, working alongside the moderator team.
• Conduct first-pass review of applications for community programs.
• Judge and evaluate program participants and winners, alongside the program lead.
• Support the setup of new programs, including website, documentation, and logistics.
• Coordinate and manage moderators day-to-day, in partnership with the Discord lead moderator.
• Maintain visibility across all events, tracking status and next steps.
• Support logistics for in-person events.
• Support preparation of X Spaces and AMAs.
• Build and maintain a simple system for tracking event status and feedback, ensuring outcomes are captured consistently.

What you bring

• Demonstrated, active presence within AI-focused, builder, or other non-web3 online communities-real standing, relationships, or a track record of participation and reputation within them, not just familiarity.
• Experience initiating and growing relationships with new communities, not just managing existing ones.

Nice to have

• Comfort adapting and localizing existing programs for new audiences, working closely with program leads on execution.
• Strong organizational skills and process discipline-able to independently manage applications, evaluations, and payment workflows.
• Experience coordinating or supporting events.
• Familiarity with Discord, Reddit, X, and/or other channels as community and engagement platforms.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical or product concepts for non-technical audiences.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, often unscripted environment.
