Company mission
To empower creators by providing a blockchain-based platform where the evolution of creative IP—whether it's prose, images, audio, or more—can be transparently tracked, attributed, and monetized.
Role

- We are looking for a highly organized and proactive HR Generalist to join Story Protocol, our blockchain company, as our first HR hire
- You ideally have at least 3 years’ experience as an HR Business Partner or HR Generalist, ideally at a startup or web3 / blockchain company
- You’re a go-getter, and comfortable working autonomously and proactively in an environment with lots of unknowns and ambiguity. You are capable of applying your skills across a variety of use cases
- We believe in processes and the power of planning, but you will often have to roll with the punches and prioritize the most impactful tasks on the fly
- You have a high attention to detail which allows you to identify gaps and missing pieces to minimize opportunities for oversight
- You thrive on change, and are passionate about creating and iterating process in a fast paced, reactive environment
- You are a creative problem solver and find organizational and scaling challenges interesting
- You have strong influencing and communication skills and a knack for building trust and strong relationships
- Proficiency with HR software and tools (e.g., HRIS, ATS) and familiarity with blockchain-specific challenges
- Experience managing performance reviews and employee relations in a tech or blockchain setting
- Understanding of labor laws and compliance requirements relevant to the blockchain industry
What the job involves
- In this pioneering role, you will develop and implement HR policies, handle employee relations with a focus on maintaining a positive work environment, and partner with team members and managers on key people initiatives such as team relations, engagement, retention, benefits and compensation, onboarding, offboarding, and HRIS management
- You will maintain employee records, ensure compliance with industry-specific regulations and labor laws, and serve as a primary point of contact for HR-related inquiries, helping to create order from chaos within our dynamic environment
- Develop and implement HR policies and procedures tailored to the blockchain industry, including developing a corporate culture
- Partner with team members and managers on key people issues and initiatives (performance management, team relations, engagement, retention, benefits and compensation, HRIS management, and more)
- Serve as main onboarding contact for new hires and contractors
- Handle employee relations, including conflict resolution and mediation, with a focus on maintaining a positive work environment
- Maintain employee records and ensure compliance with industry-specific regulations and labor laws
- Participate in developing best in class organizational guidelines and procedures for an innovative, fast paced, and evolving organization
- Serve as a primary point of contact for employees regarding HR-related inquiries and concerns
- Oversee and manage the performance review process to ensure timely and effective evaluations
Our take
Utilizing the advances in blockchain technology, Story Protocol is a tech company that creates a streamlined framework that can manage the intellectual property of gaming, prose, media, and audio. Owners of properties built upon the Story Protocol IP software can track their work’s origin which gives freedom to other individuals to remix and build upon existing works with the blessing of the creator. These reworkings are also provided with value by the IP framework.
Intellectual property has become a gold rush as of late, with companies such as Microsoft bidding huge prices for the likes of the Call of Duty games series. With new and valuable IPs being created daily and for next-gen platforms and media services, legacy IP tracking services can’t keep up with the rate of new creations. Story Protocol creates a permissionless protocol that creators can extend to other users, all stored within a global IP registry. The ultimate aim is to create a safe and secure creative ecosystem for IP.
With impressive funding from large investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Story Protocol is off to a strong start, reflecting the hunger for new ways to manage IP across the entertainment industry. Investors clearly see Story Protocol as a major industry disruptor, especially with its lofty aims of dispelling gatekeepers and democratizing intellectual property.
