Delivering Hard-to-Fill and Executive Talent for Ethereum’s Leading Layer-2 Ecosystem

The Arbitrum Foundation required support filling a range of roles — from niche DAO-facing positions to senior leadership — that internal talent teams found difficult to close. These roles were high-visibility, required deep domain understanding, and often involved community, governance, and stakeholder management within the DAO framework.

Spectrum Search partnered directly with Arbitrum’s internal talent team and key line managers to conduct deep research and talent mapping across governance, partnerships, and Web3 community domains. We applied targeted sourcing strategies built around deep market insight, narrowing the search to candidates with both technical expertise and proven experience operating in decentralised ecosystems.

Through strategic talent mapping and domain-native targeting, Spectrum Search enabled the Arbitrum Foundation to secure high-impact hires in roles critical to community, governance, and innovation — helping the Foundation strengthen its ecosystem while supporting the growth of the Arbitrum DAO.

• Multiple hires across niche DAO-specific and executive-level roles
• Key placements included DAO Partnerships Manager, Head of Governance, Grant Program Manager, and DevRel Lead
• Ongoing collaboration with internal teams to align on process and refine outreach
