Technical Project Manager, Ecosystem

Position Overview

• Location Type: Remote
• Job Type: Full-Time
• Salary: Not specified

Who We Are: The Solana Foundation is a non-profit based in Zug, Switzerland, dedicated to the adoption, decentralization, and security of the Solana network. Solana is a high-performance blockchain that can deliver a fast and friendly user experience, without sacrificing security. The Solana Foundation is working to realize a world where individuals own their data, use permissionless networks, and transfer information and value freely around the world.

What We Do: The Ecosystem Engineering team is a horizontal team of strategically deployed engineers that live at the intersection of business, technology, and innovation in the Solana ecosystem. We support teams small and large by providing technical guidance, architecture review, and maximize our leverage by driving adoption of technical public goods through code and coordination.

The Opportunity: Solana Foundation is hiring a Technical Project Manager to help organize, track, and deliver the many moving pieces that define a fast-growing, global blockchain ecosystem. You’ll work across technical and non-technical teams, shepherding standards and specifications from idea to adoption, and ensuring the right work is moving forward, even across hundreds of concurrent threads.

This is not a traditional project management role. You’ll act as the connective tissue between ecosystem partners, engineering teams, and internal stakeholders: someone who can bring structure, clarity, and velocity to a messy and high-context environment.

To be successful in this role:

• Managing a wide array of ecosystem-driven initiatives, from core protocol improvements to partner integrations to standards development.
• Working closely with the Ecosystem Engineering team to catalogue and drive forward open work across a diverse set of industry verticals.
• Collaborating directly with external companies, developers, and partners to align timelines, priorities, and deliverables.
• Coordinating across tooling surfaces like GitHub, Notion, Linear, and HubSpot to track progress and document key artifacts.
• Anticipating bottlenecks, resolving ambiguity, and bringing clear structure to fast-moving, distributed efforts.

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in project or program management, ideally in technical or cross-functional environments.
• Workload Management: Proven ability to manage dozens (or hundreds) of concurrent workstreams with high attention to detail.
• Tool Familiarity: Familiarity with tools like GitHub, Linear, Notion, and HubSpot, and comfort working in public or semi-public technical forums.
• Communication: Strong communication skills and a demonstrated ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.

Responsibilities

• Managing a wide array of ecosystem-driven initiatives.
• Working closely with the Ecosystem Engineering team.
• Collaborating with external companies, developers, and partners.
• Coordinating across tooling surfaces.
• Anticipating bottlenecks and resolving ambiguity.
