MakerDAO requires a consistent and well-run governance process managed by elected facilitators in order to remain stable and secure as it grows.

The strength of the MakerDAO governance system relates directly to the participation levels in both on-chain and off-chain governance. The expression of will by individuals interested in the Protocol’s success can only be as well-rounded and well-defined as the number of Governance participants. Similarly, a decision is only as durable as the consensus surrounding it. For these reasons, it is GovAlpha’s mandate to strive for participation and consensus which are crucial for the preservation and improvement of governance within MakerDAO.

  • GovAlpha should aim to promote and increase engagement by stakeholders in all aspects of the governance processes.
  • GovAlpha should ensure that new members of Maker Governance have access to the resources necessary to bring them up to speed on the Maker Protocol.
  • GovAlpha must encourage Maker Governance to explore the least objectionable option(s) in governance decisions rather than treating decision-making as a competition where a subset must end up disappointed in the outcome.
  • GovAlpha must encourage Maker Governance to come together on divisive topics and to prevent political polarization and demagoguery.

GovAlpha Tracks

To aid communication around what sort of work is required, we’ve organised GovAlpha’s activities into a number of tracks. Note that this is a communication aid rather than a formal structure, it is easy to work in multiple tracks and switch between them easily.

The Management Track

This track involves owning and managing some of the projects that GovAlpha takes on to improve governance within MakerDAO. If you are detail oriented, and you enjoy taking on responsibility and management tasks, this track may be a good fit.

This track focuses on taking ownership of details and projects at the core of GovAlpha. Combining the flexibility of a contributor schedule (pick your own hours as long as you complete the tasks at hand) with the responsibility of project oversight. This track is best suited for people that want to grow their profile within the Core Unit as well as the greater DAO.

Some of the responsibilities will include:

  • Tracking GovAlpha Budget Payments
  • Transparency Reporting for GovAlpha
  • GovAlpha weekly updates
  • Exploring Task Management Software options for GovAlpha

Project ownership could include:

  • Managing GovAlpha Operations + Budget
  • Managing ‘status frontend’ grants.
  • Managing other governance projects.

Job requirements

Ideally you should bring:

  • Interest in Decentralized Governance, Delegation and DeFi.
  • Willingness to surf unchartered territories within Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, open source work and consensus driven decision making.
  • Ability to demonstrate strong organizational and management skills.
  • Comfort when dealing with budgets, setting roadmaps and deadlines.
  • Experience with creating and maintaining an environment in which objectives can be achieved.

You will stand you if:

  • Find ease in communicating both asynchronous and synchronous.
  • Can align people towards a common goal and facilitate decision-making within a globally distributed group.
  • Understand the world of cryptocurrencies, multisignature wallets and can dribble with DeFi concepts.
  • You have familiarity with the Maker Ecosystem or prior experience in Web3.

What’s in it for you;

  • Be part of an ecosystem that encourages transparency and alignment with open source methodologies and principles
  • Contribute to high-impact projects that address some of the core needs of a decentralized protocol
  • Work within a remote and highly collaborative team consisting of diverse experts
