Summary
This proposal opens up the application window to new members for the next Communication & Marketing League during Mandate #3.
Communication & Marketing League specs
- Mandate Duration: 3 months since members’ election via snapshot poll;
- Budget Management: N-of-M MultiSig wallet (depending on final Leagues members after applications). One key per member (Advisors and Contributors).
Immediately Available Roles:
- 1 UI/UX and Communication Designer (part-time)
Areas of Responsibility:
- UI/UX and Communication Design
- Communication and social design
- Make design and style of communications coherent across all channels
- Create user flows, wireframes, prototypes and mockups
- Designing UI elements
- Identify and troubleshoot UX problems
- User requirements evaluation with Product Managers and Developers
Monthly Compensation:
| Seniority | Fixed salary | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Senior level 2 | $7-8k | 300 $IDLE |
| Senior level 1 | $5-6k | 225 $IDLE |
| Mid-level | $3-4k | 150 $IDLE |
| Junior | $1-2k | 100 $IDLE |
The compensations listed here are calculated as Full-time compensations, consider calculating them depending on the available role (e.g. if the available role is part-time, consider half of the compensation).
Contributors would receive their fixed salary according to the following composition: in ETH/stablecoins or unlocked $IDLE, depending on their choice to declare in advance.
The $IDLE bonus would be accessible with a 3-month Opyn Vesting Option with strike price = 20% * current price at the time of issuance (in other words, 80% discount of the market price at the time of issuance). The option will be vested for 3 months, and after which contributors will have 3 additional months for the exercise. The option will be issued at the end of the next mandate, after community’s positive vote for team reconfirmation.
Seniority Guidelines:
-
Senior level 2: 8+ years in web2 industries or 5+ in crypto, and 2+ years of working provable experience in DeFi.
-
Senior level 1: 5-7 years in web2 industries or 3 in crypto, and 1-2 years of working provable experience in DeFi.
-
Mid-level: 2-4 years in web2 industries or 2-3 in crypto, and up to 1 year of working provable experience in DeFi.
-
Junior: less than 2 years in web2 industries or 1 in crypto, and up to 6 months in DeFi.
For all the seniority levels, the experience required is in UI/UX Design, Product Design, Wireframing (and knowledge of design platforms such as Sketch, Figma).
In general, these guidelines help candidates to better position themselves and give Leagues’ members a starting point for shaping out the compensation plan and workflow.
Yet, experience and area of expertise have marginal importance when building complex projects from scratch, particularly in an experimental space like DeFi.
What does matter is a burning desire to learn more, constantly improve yourself, and solve tricky problems on a daily basis. However, as we took an incrementally growing structure for Idle Leagues, you can assure yourself that whatever you contribute (in terms of an engineer or otherwise) is always heard and discussed.
Selected applicants will enter a 2-week sprint phase, where they would receive the midpoint compensation for their seniority level. After this bootstrap sprint, current Leagues’ members will define the final compensation package. In this timeframe, current Leagues’ members have the right to upgrade/downgrade if it’s clear that the proposed seniority level is not matched.
Open applications
Although we are looking for someone to cover a specific role currently available for this League, we have other open positions for Treasury and Dev Leagues.
We encourage anyone interested in working with Idle Leagues to submit a spontaneous application, even if they don’t see their preferred role or position in the post.
