Manta Network is hiring a Korea Marketing Manager to own local go-to-market strategy, community channels, KOL partnerships, events, and localized growth.
About the Role
Manta Network is a modular blockchain ecosystem for Web3 and AI applications, combining a high-throughput execution layer with zero-knowledge infrastructure and AI-native products. Our team is distributed across Singapore, Hong Kong, mainland China and the US. Korea is one of our priority growth markets, and this role owns it end to end — strategy, community, KOLs and events.
Responsibilities
1. Korea market strategy & growth targets
- Define the Korea go-to-market plan: positioning, narrative, channel mix and quarterly targets. Own local user growth, community size and engagement metrics.
2. Community & social channels
- Build and run Korean-language communities across KakaoTalk, Telegram, X, Naver Blog/Cafe and DC Inside. Produce localized content daily and run AMAs and campaigns.
3. KOL, media & partnerships
- Source, negotiate with and manage Korean crypto KOLs, YouTubers, channel owners and media (Coinness, TokenPost, Blockmedia, Decenter). Build partnerships with local exchanges, DAOs and university blockchain clubs.
4. Offline events & local campaigns
- Deliver meetups, hackathons, conference side-events and booth presence at KBW, Upbit D Conference and ETH Seoul. Own budget, venue, speakers, sponsors, on-site execution and post-event conversion.
5. Localization & cross-team collaboration
- Localize product, docs, announcements and campaign assets into natural Korean. Feed local user feedback and competitor intelligence back to product, BD and global marketing.
Requirements
- 3+ years marketing in Web3 or high-growth tech: Marketing, growth or community experience at a crypto project, exchange, Web3 media outlet or fast-moving tech company. You have shipped campaigns yourself, not only managed agencies.
- Native Korean + working English: Native-level Korean writing for a local crypto audience, and English sufficient for daily work with a distributed team.
- Korean Web3 network: Existing relationships with Korean KOLs, community admins, media or exchange teams that you can activate in your first month.
- Offline event execution: Independently organized meetups or conference events in Korea. Familiar with Seoul venues, vendor costs and sponsor logic.
- Crypto & AI literacy: Hands-on user of wallets, DeFi and AI tools. Able to explain L1/L2, staking, airdrops and AI agents in plain Korean, and to react quickly to narrative shifts.
- Self-driven operator: Comfortable being the only person on the ground for the market. Sets own priorities and works across time zones.
Preferred Qualifications
- Data-driven growth: Fluent with analytics and quest platforms such as Galxe, Zealy, Dune and GA4.
- Content creation: Produces short-form video or thread content, or has a personal following in the Korean crypto scene.
- AI-native workflow: Uses LLMs and AI tooling to scale content, research and community operations.
- Paid media: Runs paid campaigns on Naver, YouTube and X with budget ownership and measurable ROI.
Benefits
- Ownership of the Korean market · Competitive salary plus token incentives · Direct access to founders · Budget for events, KOLs and campaigns · Flexible, remote-friendly global team
