About the Role
As a Product Manager at Starknet Foundation, you’ll play a pivotal role in stewarding the growth and future of Starknet. This isn’t your typical internal-facing PM job—we’re shaping an entire ecosystem. You’ll support key dev partners and help them scope and define their own product roadmaps, guiding teams across the community to align on priorities that drive maximum value. You’ll work at the intersection of product, partnerships, and ecosystem growth—supporting teams and products that will define the future of permissionless, provable computation.This role requires a blend of strategic thinking, technical fluency, and strong interpersonal skills. You’ll wear many hats—sometimes an advisor, sometimes a negotiator, always a builder. The work is diverse, spanning a wide variety of dev partners (appchains, dapps, infrastructure, AI, and more). You’ll need to be comfortable working across different domains while maintaining focus and clarity on what matters most.
How You Can Make An Impact
- Shape and prioritize the direction of the Starknet ecosystem by evaluating proposals, products, and teams through both strategic and technical lenses.
- Collaborate with leading ecosystem dev partners to define, scope, incentivize and support impactful projects.
- Act as a key liaison between technical teams and the Foundation—ensuring that projects are realistic, resourced properly, and aligned with broader goals.
- Proactively engage with both active and potential collaborators, bringing new ideas and projects into the Starknet orbit and fostering cross-team initiatives.
- Facilitate complex, high-stakes conversations with partners that drive towards mutually beneficial outcomes.
- Work across domains—from ZK infra to AI tooling to appchains—and gradually develop ownership over a product vertical you’re passionate about.
- Identify opportunities to bring in new voices, teams, and collaborations to the ecosystem—and help turn those relationships into meaningful outputs.
What We're Looking For
- Ecosystem-first mindset – You think beyond individual product success; you’re driven to elevate the entire Starknet network.
- Strong communicator & collaborator – You thrive in cross-functional settings and know how to build trust with teams, even in tense or ambiguous moments.
- Experienced PM with deep technical fluency – You’ve worked in technical environments, can code, and have no problem discussing scopes, trade-offs, or architectural implications.
- L2 & ZK familiarity – You deeply understand the blockchain space and have direct experience in Layer 2 or zero-knowledge projects.
- Negotiator & strategic thinker – You’re comfortable managing stakeholders, aligning incentives, and removing emotion from complex conversations.
- Outreach-oriented – You’re the type of person who connects dots, proactively engages with partners, and sees opportunity in collaboration.
- Generalist with depth – Whether it’s AI, infra, or appchains, you can quickly orient yourself in new domains and bring sharp insight when it’s time to zoom in.
- Highly self-directed – While a great team player and collaborator, you thrive in remote environments, take initiative without needing constant direction, and are comfortable driving projects forward independently.
