Research Analyst

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

You're a crypto native and have an innate curiosity that drives you to dive deep into crypto protocols. You can explain the trade-offs and competitive advantages of any blockchain or application without having to think twice. You consider yourself a natural talent for discerning signals from noise and translating your mental models into written insights that can drive decision-making.

You're always open to hearing other opinions, collaborating with a team, and learning alongside others. You're humble yet confident and have no problem with leaving your ego at the door.

What You’ll Do

As a Research Analyst, you'll publish deep-dive research for consumption by our subscriber base and the broader public on a variety of topics, including L1s, L2s, monolithic and modular stacks, incumbent and rising dApps, and much more.

Every day will look a little different, but in general, you will do things like:

• Author industry-leading research reports: You’ll conduct deep research that provides investable insights to subscribers. You’ll be receptive to topic selection as designated by others on the team. You’ll be the boots on the ground, reaching out to crypto founders and investors, always searching for what’s next.
• Stay informed on all things crypto: You’ll have your finger on the pulse of the market to deliver timely updates to your teammates and subscribers. You’re constantly reading and consuming information, and updating your worldview based on new information.
• Tell the world: You’ll professionally communicate with our audience through X, Telegram and other mediums about the state of the crypto industry and where it is moving.
• Wear many hats: You’ll contribute to many projects, and adapt to the needs of a flexible team at a growing organization.
  
  

Experimentation is frequent at Blockworks. Comfortability with being uncomfortable is a must.

What You’ve Done Before

You've got at least two years of experience in crypto, traditional finance, consulting, or data analytics and want to grow your impact. You bring a passion for crypto, including a willingness to research new topics and change your opinions along the way. You're thrilled at the opportunity to regularly work with data and derive some of your best conclusions from it.

You come with domain expertise about topics like DeFi, NFTs, layer 1s, and more, and can't wait to share your learnings. You enjoy writing long-form research about complex narratives and ideas in a way that is clear, cohesive, accurate, and can be understood by a general audience. You're able to swiftly comprehend complex topics and work independently in a fast-paced environment.

It’d Be Great If You’ve Done This

Experience and demonstrated success in data visualization skills, especially using SQL, R, or Python, will move you to the top of the list. If you have any experience in financial modeling & valuation, we'd love to hear about that, too. Lastly, we'd love to have someone that is deeply degen.
