We propose to hire an Operations Manager. This new admin position would be a resource to all committee heads. This would be the first paid staff member for ATX DAO. While many ATX DAO members work on a volunteer basis and work for the DAO when available, this full time admin would give ATX DAO a single point of contact with more reliable availability, and greater cohesion, organization, and professionalism.
The expectation would be to pay about $30-35/hr and earn $2-3k per month for about 20 hrs/week. With a current treasury of >$100k this would fit within our ATX DAO budget and give us comfortable runway to be able to pay the admin for many months to come giving this hire steady work and great experience. Meanwhile with the additional efficiency this person would bring to ATX DAO we can execute faster and more effectively on the several revenue generating ideas that have been proposed which would further ensure revenues: hackathons, government policy research, office space rental, networking events, NFT minting, Austin art murals, etc.
