Ecosystem Manager

As Ecosystem Manager at TOKEN2049, you are the connective tissue of our flagship global Web3 and AI conference series, organized annually in Singapore and Dubai. You will curate and grow the entire lifecycle of our partner ecosystems, building strategic relationships with top-tier crypto foundations and AI model labs, managing large-scale community and affiliate programs, and overseeing curated startup competitions and hundreds of official side events during Singapore AI Week and TOKEN2049 Week.

What you'll do

• Serve as the primary point of contact for key ecosystem partners, including Tier-1 layer-1/layer-2 protocols, major AI foundations, developer DAOs, research institutes, and venture funds, aligning their goals with event frameworks to ensure maximum value through speaking opportunities, curated networking sessions, and custom activations.
• Lead the curation, approval, and strategic scheduling of over 100 community-organized satellite events, hackathons, and workshops during TOKEN2049 Week and Singapore AI Week, ensuring they maintain premium quality and compliance standards.
• Own the execution and pipeline of flagship startup initiatives such as SuperAI's Genesis Pitch Competition and TOKEN2049 startup showcases, sourcing high-quality global startups across the AI stack and Web3 verticals.
• Manage relationships with institutional judges, venture capital syndicates, and corporate accelerators sponsoring cash prizes or grant pools for startup competitions.
• Expand the Community Partner and Affiliate Programs, driving global inbound ticket traffic, hacker registrations, and brand awareness through developer hubs and regional user groups.
• Collaborate with the Sponsorship, Commercial, Marketing, and Content teams to transition high-potential ecosystem contacts into premium sponsors and amplify ecosystem stories across digital platforms.

What you bring

• 3-5+ years of experience in Ecosystem Management, Venture Relations, Developer Relations, or Business Development within a prominent Web3 foundation, AI startup accelerator, tech fund, or tier-1 global conference ecosystem.
• Deep, functional understanding of both the Web3 landscape (L1/L2 networks, DeFi, tokenomics) and the AI stack (frontier models, infrastructure/compute, embodied AI).
• An existing, warm network of founders, VC investors, and community leaders in either the AI or crypto space.
• Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to manage hundreds of moving parts, multiple accounts, and strict deadlines simultaneously under high pressure.
• Flawless written and spoken English, with strong interpersonal and public-facing presentation skills.
• An entrepreneurial, self-starter attitude with high execution velocity, thriving in a flat structure and comfortable with both the smallest details and the biggest visions.

Nice to have

• Proficiency in Mandarin or other regional languages given the East-West hub positioning.
