Community Manager

Ostium is on a simple mission: make it possible for anyone with a digital wallet to trade stocks, commodities, currencies, and crypto with full transparency. No brokers, no freezes, no hidden spreads. We’re replacing the opaque, offshore brokerage model with a transparent, permissionless trading stack built onchain. Every trade, deposit, and withdrawal is verifiable through open, auditable code. We’ve raised $27.9M+ from General Catalyst, Jump, LocalGlobe, Susquehanna (SIG), GSR, Alliance DAO, Soma Capital, Balaji Srinivasan, Meltem Demirors, and others.

About the role

This isn’t a “keep Discord active” job.

You’ll own the spaces where real money moves - traders putting on $50M NASDAQ shorts in one clip - and ensure they feel supported, informed, and connected.

You’ll manage both VIP channels and in-person experiences that reinforce trust and belonging among serious traders.

You’ll have the budget and autonomy to do this properly.

What you’ll lead

• VIP trader channels
  You run the room. You know who’s sizing up, who’s cooling off, and why
  

• Discord ops & moderation
  Structure, roles, rules, and velocity — all yours
  

• IRL experiences
  Poker nights, trading competitions, private dinners — curated, not crowded
  

• Signal capture
  Wins, flow, frustration → clean feedback into GTM + product
  

• Trader retention plays
  Personal touches that bring big users back

You ensure the people driving our volume feel the difference here.

How you operate

• Chronically online - and aware of context

• Calm authority - you can redirect energy without killing momentum

• Bias to action - see a need, fill it

• Zero tolerance for noise that erodes trust

• Ownership means you make the call, not wait for permission.
  

What you bring

• Experience managing communities where stakes are high (crypto trading, CFD trading, gamer communities)

• Strong writing - concise, credible, aligned with brand

• Comfort hosting intimate gatherings that feel curated and meaningful

• Ability to maintain confidentiality + judgment around sensitive info
  

Why Ostium

• Direct line to founders + growth team

• Budget and ownership that punches way above other startups

• Community tied to real market activity, not vanity metrics

• A role where your work moves the needle on revenue and is compensated accordingly
