BFP-6: Hire jakerb

(Note: This proposal has been re-submitted to reflect a retroactive payment to jakerb for work completed prior to Q1 2022)

Proposer: Dumpling

Proposal: Hire jakerb as Part-time Product Manager

Resume: jakerb is a product manager at an early-stage startup and has helped the product scale through various stages of funding. He also has experience in venture, as a contributor in other DAO, as well as owning the product as a co-founder of a social-focused startup that raised tens of thousands of dollars. He has part-time availability for now with the hope that he becomes a full-time contributor. Beanpilled by early contributors like 0xaustin, he’s been an active member in the community and has already contributed to the Pod Marketplace and Curve integration. Previously, Publius, Dumpling, and the Eng Leads were tasked with all product/project oversight but as the DAO grows this won’t be scalable. We believe jakerb is highly qualified to assist us as we reach new heights.

Role Definition: Beanstalk Product Manager Lead is a new role. Making sure every team has what they need from every other team is core to the role. Given how quickly the DAO is scaling and the many moving parts (engineering, UX, marketing, copy, community, etc.) it will be critical that every project meets the original spec, deadline, and all parties involved are both unblocked themselves and not blocking others. Jakerb has shown that he’s organized, an effective communicator, and has great initiative. As more projects have their own point person, we hope jakerb can become responsible for more things at a project level and including coordinating and ensuring things are moving smoothly across the entire DAO.

Payment: 4766 Beans per month, paid bi-monthly, through the end of Q1. To be reviewed and re-approved for Q2. Retroactive payment of 1980 beans for 36 hours of work completed prior to Q1 2022.

Commitment: Part-time (A minimum of 20 hours per week).
