## Job description

The Firm [Paradigm](https://www.paradigm.xyz/) is a technology investment firm led by [Matt Huang](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kmhuang/) and [Alana Palmedo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/askorniakoffpalmedo/) that builds and invests across crypto, AI, robotics, and other new frontiers from the earliest stages.

Founded in 2018, the firm manages over $10 billion and invests across all stages and geographies with offices in San Francisco, New York, and Washington, D.C. We combine deep technical research with hands-on building alongside the founders and teams shaping the frontier.

We have backed category-defining companies and protocols that have reshaped how the world transacts, builds, and computes.

## The Role

We're seeking an Events leader to co-create and operationalize powerful, engaging events in collaboration with each functional area at Paradigm (investing, research, policy, marketing, operations). Paradigm's events program exists to support the researchers, builders, founders and technologists shaping the frontier of technology. Some of these events are small, some are large, some have games and adventures, others are technical deep dives. All are close to the metal of what’s getting built at the edges of technology.

The person we hire will own the production and execution of events across our portfolio, spanning highly technical research days (e.g., summits for researchers), founder and portfolio-facing gatherings (e.g., founder retreats and fellowships), and institutional or policy-facing convenings (e.g., investor summits and policy programs), as well as recurring community events in our core markets. This role requires close collaboration across the firm and will report to Paradigm's Head of Events, [Josie Franciose McGuinn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/josie-franciose-mcguinn-96283916/). Being deeply plugged into the San Francisco and frontier tech community is a 10x factor.

## Responsibilities

- Plan and execute on a segment of Paradigm events, including production, programming, project management, budgets, and post-event wrap
- Drive guest-facing marketing and communication strategy for events
- Create unique experiences for a diverse set of high-performing audiences including founders, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers
- Own venue and vendor relationships and ensure all internal and external stakeholders are kept up-to-date on planning, schedules, and logistics.
- Provide day-of event management to deliver high quality, successful, and professional events.
- Support large-scale projects across the department
- Navigate a fast-paced environment and execute on tight timelines to meet event objectives

## Qualifications and Experience

- 8+ years of events experience owning a mix of events end-to-end including private dinners, receptions, industry events, fireside chats, panels, conferences and summits
- Experience creating events in one or more of the following areas: investment & venture, frontier technology, public policy, recruiting, media
- Ability to self-manage and prioritize work in a fast-paced environment
- Understanding a suite of firm-internal AI tools, and developing your own tools where appropriate
- Trustworthy and adept at handling confidential information
- High EQ, with the ability to stay calm and be solutions-oriented while resolving last-minute needs in high-visibility situations
- Excellent organizational and logistical skills
- Outstanding communication skills, verbal and written
- Intense curiosity and open-mindedness
- Scrappy; willing to roll up sleeves
- Team player
- Ability to work nights and weekends around events and key deadlines

## About Paradigm

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Paradigm is a technology investment firm that invests in and builds across frontier technologies including crypto, AI, and robotics.
- **Entity Type**: Private (venture capital firm)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, CA, USA (with offices in New York City and Washington, DC)
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Matt Huang (Co-Founder & Managing Partner)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Venture Capital, Technology Investment, Blockchain/Crypto Infrastructure
- **Target customers**: Founders and companies building at the technological frontier (crypto, AI, robotics); B2B for its portfolio companies
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "We live on the frontier and believe in progress through technology."

## Products & Services
For each major offering:
- **[Investment & Incubation]**: Paradigm invests in founders at every stage (from first check through to public markets) across crypto, AI, robotics, and other frontiers. They also incubate new companies, such as Tempo (a payments network created with Stripe).
- **[Open Source Software]**: Paradigm builds and contributes to a substantial portfolio of open source projects, including Foundry (Ethereum dev toolkit, 10.5k GitHub stars), Reth (Ethereum protocol implementation, 5.7k stars), Alloy, Viem, Wagmi, Cryo, and many others.
- **[Research & Fellowship]**: Runs an annual Paradigm Fellowship and produces research papers, security evaluations (e.g., with OpenAI on EVMbench), and industry analysis.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private investment firm). In 2021, Paradigm raised a $2.5 billion fund (its third), making it one of the largest crypto-focused venture funds at the time.
- **Key Metric**: Over 130+ investments made since founding in 2018; manages billions in assets under management.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Stripe (co-incubated Tempo), OpenAI (collaborated on EVMbench), and a vast portfolio of crypto and frontier tech companies.
- **Growth Signals**: Continued expansion into AI and robotics investments beyond crypto; incubation of Tempo with Stripe signals a push into payments infrastructure; active hiring across engineering, research, and operations roles.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Depth of technical expertise**: Paradigm's team includes world-class researchers, engineers, and operators who actively ship open-source code (Foundry, Reth, Alloy) and publish research. They are "as likely to collaborate on a research paper or ship code" as to partner on strategy.
- **Full-stack capability**: They invest, incubate, build open source software, provide policy/government affairs support, and offer operational assistance—giving them a uniquely hands-on approach for a venture firm.
- **Network effect**: Their portfolio of 130+ companies and deep relationships with Stripe, OpenAI, and other major tech players creates a powerful ecosystem for founders and employees.
- **Culture of building**: Many team members have built tools, protocols, and companies that are "some of the most used on the internet" (e.g., Ethereum, crypto infrastructure).

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Expanding investment beyond crypto into AI and robotics; incubating new companies (like Tempo); building open-source infrastructure for the next generation of decentralized and AI-powered applications; advancing policy and regulatory frameworks for frontier tech (active in Washington, DC).
- **Growth direction**: Moving toward multi-frontier investing (crypto, AI, robotics) while deepening its technical capabilities through open source contributions and research.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as builder-first and deeply technical. The team values "depth as a prerequisite for invention" and being "close to the metal." They emphasize collaboration on research, code, and strategy.
- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: Has offices in San Francisco, NYC, and Washington, DC. The website lists opportunities across the US, suggesting a hybrid or office-first approach, though specific remote policy details are not publicly clear.
- **Notable perks/engineering culture**: 
  - Contributes to and maintains widely-used open source projects (Foundry, Reth, Viem, etc.)
  - Provides a fellowship program for emerging talent
  - Offers opportunities to work alongside top-tier researchers, engineers, and operators in a venture context
  - All roles (engineering, research, operations, legal, marketing, etc.) contribute to advancing frontier technology
