About Us:
Blockworks is a financial media brand that delivers breaking news and premium insights about digital assets to millions of investors. Our content, newsletters, podcasts, and events provide investors with the critical analysis and information they need to make smarter decisions about digital assets.
Who You Are
We're seeking a creative lead with exceptional writing skills, a creative mind, and a curious attitude to help build The Drop, Blockworks' newest newsletter brand.
You're a talented, engaging, and thoughtful journalist/writer who loves showcasing your creative mind and curious attitude in writing, especially in newsletter format. You're a crypto enthusiast who follows the industry and gets excited when there is a new narrative to shape.
You consider yourself to be dynamic and highly collaborative and look for the same qualities in the team that you join. You love working with other collaborative and humble builders in a shared mission to craft a sustainable model for crypto journalism.
What You'll Do
As one of our Reporters, you'll regularly craft timely and relevant short-form newsletter articles and longer. The Drop is focused on the application layer of web3: gaming, social media, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and art.
Every day will look a little different, but in general, you will do things like:
- Write Daily Contributions: You'll be responsible for producing daily newsletters in collaboration with our team of writers, editors, and operators.
- Write Voicy, Analytical Journalism: You'll be responsible for crafting content that helps fill the unique niche of The Drop Newsletter.
- Conduct Thoughtful Interviews: You'll proactively interview founders, developers, investors, thought-leaders, movers, and shakers across the industry, building a deep source network to help strengthen our newsletter.
- Craft Supporting Content: You'll also produce web articles, social media, and other forms of online content to support your newsletter contributions.
- Grow an Audience: You'll partner with the Blockworks team to help grow your newsletter's overall reach.
Experimentation is frequent at Blockworks. Comfortability with being uncomfortable is a must.

You have demonstrated success producing and and publishing crypto-related journalism and/or online content, and are excited to share your previous examples. You're at home with the ins and outs of web3 gaming, NFTs, etc., and can help explain them to even the most novice reader.

It'd Be Great If You've Done This
Having previous experience working in crypto media or other content-related companies in the industry and the desire to do it again will move you to the top of the list.
