Community Lead

About Poly Syncer

Poly Syncer is the non-custodial home for Polymarket copy trading. The product is sharp, the team is small, and the user base is unusual — sophisticated traders who chose us because we are not a hype machine. The community we are building reflects that. We do not chase a million followers. We chase a few thousand of the right ones. The manifesto covers the posture.

The role

You will run three things. First, the Discord — currently 4,200 members, mostly active subscribers and a long tail of curious traders. The Discord is where product feedback happens, where we announce changes, and where we answer hard questions in public. Second, the contributor relationship with our top leader wallets — the people whose trades our subscribers mirror. We treat them seriously. They get early access to product changes, a private channel, and a real human who knows their handle. That human is you. Third, the public-facing voice on social — primarily X, secondarily Farcaster — which means a posting cadence that is honest about wins and honest about losses. We post the slippage when it is bad. We post the trades that did not go through. We do not run engagement-bait threads.

Beyond those three, you will own a quarterly community report (written, published on the blog) that summarizes the state of the product from the user's vantage. You will run two community AMAs a year with the engineering and research leads. And you will build the contributor program that takes the strongest community voices and turns them into something more formal — a small group that gets paid for the work of moderation, feedback, and writing.

You'll be a fit if

• You have demonstrably operated a serious crypto or trading community before — not a hype channel, not a shill farm. We will look at the community, not just the resume.
• You have a strong written voice that does not default to hype. You can write a post-incident communication that is direct without being cold.
• You are comfortable moderating in public, escalating to engineering or risk when needed, and occasionally banning people who deserve it.
• You read your own product. A community lead who does not understand what we ship cannot answer the questions that matter.
• You are responsive without being always-on. The community runs better with someone who answers carefully than with someone who answers immediately.
• You can write a quarterly report that subscribers actually read, not a marketing puff piece.
• You are happy being public-facing — your name and face will be on the company in a real way.

Bonus points

• You have run a contributor or ambassador program that compensated participants and survived a year.
• You have working familiarity with prediction markets or sports-betting markets specifically.
• You have produced video or audio content (a podcast, a recurring AMA stream) with real audience retention.

Process

1. Intro call (45 min). A conversation with the CEO and the founding designer (who currently splits community duties).
2. Portfolio review (60 min). You walk us through the communities you have run — what worked, what did not, what you are most proud of.
3. Paid trial week ($1,500). A scoped one-week engagement: draft a post-incident communication, a community-update memo, and a moderation policy revision. You keep the IP.
4. Founder call + offer (60 min). Compensation, equity, and the values. Offer within five business days.

Compensation

$110k–$150k base + meaningful equity. Equity vests over four years with a one-year cliff. We pay top-tier health coverage in your home country, fund a co-working stipend, and cover a quarterly off-site.

Location

Remote-first, HQ Stockholm. We hire across EU and US time zones with at least four hours of overlap with European working hours, so live moderation during European market hours is covered. The Discord is global; you are not expected to be.

How to apply

Email [email protected] with links to two communities you have operated, two posts you wrote that you are proud of, and one moderation decision you handled that you would still defend. That is the whole application.

For background, the about page, the manifesto, and the team page are the canonical starting points. For technical context on what subscribers actually ask about in the Discord, the methodology page covers most of it.

One last note: this role is not a marketing role and the person who succeeds in it will probably not have come up through marketing. The closest analog in our team chart is editor-in-chief — someone who owns voice, judgment, and the boundary between the company and its audience. If that frame fits, write to us.
