Community Manager

Introduction

Daata is looking for a brilliant online Community Manager with strong social media skills and strategy logic to lead our marketing efforts.

Background

Daata has championed digital arts since 2015, and is now fully immersed in Web 3 processes. Daata is a digital art incubator that commissions, curates and sells all works of digital art including video, animation, augmented reality and NFTs. We foster deep relationships with artists, empowering them to bring their most ambitious ideas to life and supporting them via exhibitions, sales, marketing and international partnerships. We strive to be your go-to destination for digital fine art, as well as serve as a platform for blue chip galleries to sell their NFTs through our dedicated marketplace – bridging the gap between the traditional art market and the metaverse.

Life at Daata

Daata is a small company with an ambitiously global reach. Our full-time team of four operates within a fluid and non-hierarchical structure, steered by the vision and dedication of Director and Founder, David Gryn. We are a company that pursues people over profits; creative freedom is prioritised and each member of the team is encouraged to make their role unique to their strengths and circumstances. We each operate as freelancers to allow maximum flexibility. Many of us juggle family with working life and Daata’s activity is planned with this in mind.

Role

As an online gallery, community is intrinsic to Daata and we’re looking for someone ready to lead. You’ll take on a career-defining opportunity: to transform Daata’s audiences into a robust and dynamic community that not only supports but funds our curated programme.

2. Fundraise for commissions and encourage sales
3. Foster a genuine community of passionate digital art collectors, curators and creators around Daata’s activity

The role requires someone who can juggle macro and micro responsibilities. This is an opportunity for a mid-career marketeer ready to roll up their sleeves and put their stamp on a rising brand at the intersection of contemporary art and web3.
