From the employer

About Us

TOKEN2049 is the premier global Web3 and crypto conference series, organized annually in Singapore and Dubai. It serves as the ultimate meeting place for decision-makers, founders, and investors in the crypto ecosystem.

SuperAI is Asia’s largest artificial intelligence gathering, bringing together frontier labs (OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic), enterprise giants, tech builders, and venture capitalists at Marina Bay Sands to drive real-world AI deployment and bridge global dialogues across the US, China, Europe, and Asia.

Together, we shape the narratives of the future tech landscape. We are seeking an ambitious, high-velocity Ecosystem Manager to expand and nurture our expansive global networks of Web3 projects, L1/L2 foundations, AI startups, enterprise partners, and developer communities.

Role Overview

As the Ecosystem Manager, you will be the connective tissue of our flagship events. You will not just manage a network; you will curate and grow the entire lifecycle of our partner ecosystems. This involves building strategic relationships with top-tier crypto foundations and AI model labs, managing large-scale community and affiliate programs, and overseeing the highly curated startup competitions (e.g., SuperAI's Genesis) and hundreds of official side events during Singapore AI Week and TOKEN2049 Week.

Key Responsibilities

1. Strategic Partner & Account Management

Serve as the primary, high-touch point of contact for key ecosystem partners, including Tier-1 layer-1/layer-2 protocols, major AI foundations, developer DAOs, research institutes, and venture funds.
Align ecosystem partner goals with event frameworks, ensuring maximum value extraction through speaking opportunities, curated networking sessions, and custom activations.
Collaborate closely with the Sponsorship and Commercial sales teams to transition high-potential ecosystem contacts into premium event sponsors.

2. Side-Event & "Week" Orchestration

Lead the curation, approval, and strategic scheduling of over 100+ community-organized satellite events, hackathons, and workshops during TOKEN2049 Week and Singapore AI Week.
Work closely with external hosts to ensure their side events maintain the premium quality and compliance standard associated with our brand.

3. Startup Ecosystem & Competitions

Own the execution and pipeline of flagship startup initiatives, such as SuperAI’s Genesis Pitch Competition and TOKEN2049 startup showcases.
Source high-quality global startups across the AI stack (compute, model, robotics, application layers) and Web3 verticals (DeFi, Infrastructure, Consumer Crypto).
Convene and manage relationships with institutional judges, venture capital syndicates, and corporate accelerators sponsoring cash prizes or grant pools.

4. Community and Affiliate Engagement

Expand the Community Partner and Affiliate Programs, driving global inbound ticket traffic, hacker registrations, and brand awareness through developer hubs and regional user groups.
Work cross-functionally with the Marketing and Content teams to amplify ecosystem stories, partner milestones, and co-marketed event initiatives across digital platforms.

Requirements & Qualifications

Experience: 3–5+ years of experience in Ecosystem Management, Venture Relations, Developer Relations (DevRel), or Business Development within a prominent Web3 foundation, AI startup accelerator, tech fund, or tier-1 global conference ecosystem.
Industry Domain Knowledge: A deep, functional understanding of both the Web3 landscape (L1/L2 networks, DeFi, tokenomics) and the AI stack (frontier models, infrastructure/compute, embodied AI).
Network: An existing, warm network of founders, VC investors, and community leaders in either the AI or crypto space.
Project Management: Exceptional organizational skills. You are capable of managing hundreds of moving parts, multiple accounts, and strict deadlines simultaneously under high pressure.
Communication: Flawless written and spoken English. Strong interpersonal and public-facing presentation skills are mandatory. (Proficiency in Mandarin or other regional languages is a major advantage given our East-West hub positioning).
Mindset: An entrepreneurial, self-starter attitude with high execution velocity. You thrive in a flat structure and understand that "no task is too small, and no vision is too big."

TOKEN2049 and SuperAI are equal opportunity employers. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
