Hiring update on this role!
Weāve been busy with @guylouis taking a first look at applications received. Weāre now onto a shortlist of ~10 people for a first interview with People Ops - weāre getting those interviews scheduled in this week between me and @rajanie. First interviews cover general content like remote work, Status values, the candidateās work & crypto experience, and a bit more about how the day to day at Status looks.
@guylouis and @jonathan - for any candidates we think are a good fit for advancing beyond first interview, weāll get those scheduled in with you two in parallel. Weāll check your calendars, please DM if you have any availability exceptions.
Cheers! C

Hi All,
Iām applying for this role through a recruiter and have been doing some research and due diligence.
I really love the ethos and I share the values you have built for Status; Iām intrigued by the āflattenedā org structure, Iām excited to see how liquid democracy and swarm mindset actually function within a business setting. Lotās to discuss!
In the way of proactive contribution, Iāve put together a brief growth audit of Keycard that I hope will prove a valuable resource for the team (with or without my core contributor employment).

Happy for any feedback or input and looking forward to speaking with some of you!

Hey Morgan - welcome to the wonderful world of Status - thanks for your interest!
Adding a few folks that I know will be interested to review your work: @carl @guylouis @jonathan
Look forward to getting to know you.
Hey!
Just wanted to check what your timelines here are? I wasnāt actually looking for a new challenge but somehow found your job offer and remembered about Status.
I have previously been in the blockchain field for over 6 years and took on a ānormal startup projectā recently. But itās just not the same when centralised 
Also Iāve been trying to test the Status app, but it just says - Oops, this is not available any more.
Anyway, this is me, happy to chat - Liina Laas - Member of the Board of Advisors - ESNA - Europe Startup Nations Alliance | LinkedIn
Hey @liinalaasb - welcome to Status! Nice to see you here, and thanks for applying 
Just wanted to check what your timelines here are?
Weād love to find someone for this role before the end of year holidays, and are still actively accepting applications and working our way through the different stages of interview.
All candidates should hear from us one way or another within the next couple of weeks, and weāll certainly let people know if thereās any delay to that.
Also Iāve been trying to test the Status app, but it just says - Oops, this is not available any more.
Sorry to hear that! Feel free to email me with details and we can take a look: [email protected].
Cheers! Ceri
Thank you very much for the update, Ceri!
I will email you shortly, maybe it is user error by me but so far not able to get the app 
Quick update - weāre still hiring for this role. Not a huge amount to report other than we have candidates in all parts of the hiring process, still very much going through the interview phases with People Ops, Jonny, Guy-Louis, and Carl.
Thank you to all the candidates currently going through and that have been through the process so far with us, we really appreciate your time and donāt take it for granted.
In terms of what weāre looking for from the role - over time weāre leaning towards a more senior & technical profile that can set and drive the marketing strategy for the product, as well as someone thatās comfortable on the execution as they will be also handling the day-to-day. The mix of crypto experience + technical + product marketing skills + leadership is a huge ask - which is why this search is progressing a bit slower than we wouldāve liked.
Thanks all for your patience, will keep working on this.
Update - after much deliberation, we made the decision not to prioritise this hire for the time being. The combination of skills we were looking for were turning out to be not the most straightforward to hire for, and though we had a number of great candidates apply, the search was diverting recruiting time and attention away from other marketing roles with a more urgent need to fill.
In terms of positioning for Keycard, thereās been some change in the thinking since we first went live with the job post. Check out this user journey sketch from @jarrad for most recent info on how Keycard fits into the Status flow.
Sorry to everyone for a disappointing end to this hiring effort. Shout if any questions.
