*FILLED
Our client, leading the first product enabling any consumer brand, creator or influencer to bring rewards, loyalty and influencer marketing to Web3, is looking for their inaugural executive product management hire. This client drives strong loyalty for brands in Web3 with their unique, token-based incentivization. The product works seamlessly across commerce, affiliate commerce, mobile, gaming and influencer channels. The product creates loyalty-building trails of data-driven interactions amongst consumers, influencers and brands incentivized by easy transfer, sharing and transactions of its tokens.
