From the original posting

Aptos is a people-first blockchain on a mission to help billions of people achieve universal and fair access to decentralized assets in a safe and scalable way.

Founded by some of the original creators and maintainers that researched, designed, and built the Diem blockchain to serve this purpose, we have dedicated several years toward this mission. We believe the open-source Diem technology we have developed is an important foundation of a safe and scalable web3 world where everyone has more equitable opportunities to grow and access financial assets with lower fees and fewer intermediaries.

Aptos (Ohlone for "The People") encompasses our mission and ethos for why we build.

About the Role
This role sits within the Aptos Foundation, the ecosystem-building arm of Aptos focused on driving adoption, supporting developers, and growing global communities. While closely aligned with Aptos Labs and its broader mission, the Foundation operates independently to accelerate network growth through community engagement, strategic initiatives, and ecosystem development.

We’re looking for a Community Manager focused on Korea to lead local growth efforts across both the Aptos ecosystem and Decibel, our flagship onchain perpetuals exchange. This person will be responsible for building and activating trading communities, developing relationships with key ecosystem participants, and driving meaningful engagement across one of the most important crypto markets globally.

Responsibilities

Identify and engage high-value traders, KOLs, and trading communities within Korea, converting them into active Decibel users and ecosystem advocates
Plan and execute local events, meetups, AMAs, and trading competitions that drive user acquisition and deepen engagement with Decibel
Connect ecosystem builders and projects with technical resources, funding opportunities, and co-marketing support to accelerate local growth
Gather and synthesize trading community feedback and sentiment, sharing structured insights with product, engineering, and marketing teams
Collaborate with the community and marketing teams to localize campaigns, content, and programs for the Korean market
Develop long-term relationships with traders, founders, developer communities, and industry partners to build lasting advocacy for Aptos and Decibel

What we're looking for:

2-4 years of experience in community management, ecosystem development, or trader relations in web3
Active participant or power user in crypto trading communities; you understand the culture, the language, and what traders actually care about and have had meaningful exposure to derivatives, perps, and onchain trading products
An established network within the Korean crypto trading ecosystem; connections to KOLs, trading groups, or derivatives communities are a strong plus
Deep familiarity with the Korean web3 landscape, including local platforms, communities, and the dynamics of trader acquisition in the region
Hands-on experience running community-facing events: AMAs, trading competitions, workshops, or regional meetups
Sharp communicator in both Korean and English, with the ability to engage traders, builders, and technical teams equally well
Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment across multiple workstreams simultaneously
