The House of Stake (HoS) is the decentralized, token-based governance body within the NEAR ecosystem, operating at the intersection of governance, legal structure, funding flows, and stakeholder coordination.
As HoS evolves in scope and operational complexity, we need a dedicated Operations Manager, hired by the House of Stake Foundation, to establish independent operations capacities, and ensure structural rigor, documentation integrity, payment execution reliability, and full operational visibility across initiatives.
This is not a generic ops role, it is governance-critical infrastructure.
Currently, operational responsibilities (documentation, payment tracking, contract coordination, reporting) are distributed across leadership.
Ensures all documentation and contracts are complete and accessible Executes and tracks payments reliably Maintains operational oversight across HoS initiatives Creates structured, audit-ready systems Enables Governance leadership to focus on strategy rather than administration
Operational integrity, documentation completeness, payment execution, and governance process reliability.
