The Opportunity
Solana Foundation is hiring a Technical Project Manager to help organize, track, and deliver the many moving pieces that define a fast-growing, global blockchain ecosystem.
You’ll work across technical and non-technical teams, shepherding standards and specifications from idea to adoption, and ensuring the right work is moving forward, even across hundreds of concurrent threads.
This is not a traditional project management role. You’ll act as the connective tissue between ecosystem partners, engineering teams, and internal stakeholders: someone who can bring structure, clarity, and velocity to a messy and high-context environment.
To be successful in this role
You will be:
Managing a wide array of ecosystem-driven initiatives, from core protocol improvements to partner integrations to standards development
Working closely with the Ecosystem Engineering team to catalogue and drive forward open work across a diverse set of industry verticals
Collaborating directly with external companies, developers, and partners to align timelines, priorities, and deliverables
Coordinating across tooling surfaces like GitHub, Notion, Linear, and HubSpot to track progress and document key artifacts
Anticipating bottlenecks, resolving ambiguity, and bringing clear structure to fast-moving, distributed efforts
You ideally have:
5+ years of experience in project or program management, ideally in technical or cross-functional environments
Proven ability to manage dozens (or hundreds) of concurrent workstreams with high attention to detail
Familiarity with tools like GitHub, Linear, Notion, and HubSpot, and comfort working in public or semi-public technical forums
Experience designing or managing systems of automation using modern AI tools or scripting workflows
Strong communication skills and a demonstrated ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
Bonus points:
Previous hands-on experience as a software engineer or technical contributor
Familiarity with or curiosity about the blockchain space and its transformative potential
Experience working with open-source communities or helping develop shared technical standards
