Why work with us

Kilonova is a boutique marketing and strategy advisory firm focused on supporting projects across Blockchain Infrastructure, DeFi, Web3, and the Metaverse.

We exist to support the blitzscaling efforts of visionary leaders that can push decentralization, self-sovereignty and conscious capitalism forward.

As serial entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand that pioneering bleeding-edge technology, building a rockstar distributed team, figuring out product-market fit, fostering a vibrant community, and raising capital - at the same time - is really hard. So we join founders and their projects early, accept responsibility for narrative formation, building out critical brand touchpoints, hiring and training the marketing team, and generating traction in the shape of community growth, lead generation, and investment commitments in the early stage startups we advise.

Our mission is to empower and accelerate these nascent projects around the world, with the vision that by doing so we can help shape the future of money, the new Internet, and the way we collaborate, grow and enjoy life.

Role Summary

We are looking for an experienced and proficient Head of Research and Content Writer with 5+ years of experience. You will research and produce deep internal research that will inform and shape Kilonova’s thesis, and engaging and insightful long form content to our clients and partners that will educate, inspire and be foundational in driving alignment and shared understanding, as well as fueling community awareness and interest towards the vision of portfolio companies.

You will be responsible for researching the latest topics around Blockchain Infrastructure, DeFi, Web3, and the Metaverse. This will form the context for you to create compelling and inspired presentations, long and short form content and research reports that can shape our partner’s product roadmap, while also creating compelling and engaging stories to the community at large.

The ideal candidate is passionate about blockchain technology, emerging forms of DeFi, DataFi, ReFi, GameFi, deSci, and NFTs, and the impact these technologies can bring to our world.

Our Head of Research and Content is passionate, detail oriented, focused, and takes pride in seeing the lightbulb on top of someone’s head after reading a research report or thought piece.
