AKIYA Core Team Application

I’m looking for 4-5 people to join the dedicated core contributor team for AKIYA. This is for people seriously interested in living in Japan, helping out with the rural revitalization crisis, creating more spaces for art + wonder, and getting to do so with a community of brilliant + intentional creatives.

AKIYA is creating a community hub in Japan, and smoke signal for those aligned to find us. To do so, we would like to enlist your help in creating a structure to exist: both digitally (via open-sourcing an operations playbook) and physically (via establishing houses in Japan). Part of the role would require you to re-locate to our first community home to help out with renovations and meeting the team, for at least 1-2 months in 2024.

Because we will be based in Japan, we are reserving at least 1-2 spots for a native Japanese contributors.

We have raised enough grant money for the purchase of our home (up to ~10M yen), and plan to fund renovations and continued operations through additional crowdsourcing and revenue streams. If selected, you’ll be able to live in this home for at least 3 months each year to help coordinate the community, cowork, and co-create with the magical residents that will pass through the home.

The duties for the core team include attending weekly meetings and being active in their chosen workstreams. Priority for the selected team will be given to those who are able to help lead one.

We are looking for help in the following workstreams:

  • Government + Local Engagement: partnerships, biz dev, community efforts, government proposals, building our network to make sure healthy integration is enabled 
  • Real Estate Operations: facilitating finding + purchase of the homes, operations / logistics, house management
  • Web3 / Tokeneconomics: tokeneconomics, ecosystem design, governance incentives
  • Internal Governance + Community: project management, facilitating governance proposals + voting, community management, working with tokeneconomics team to translate this into interactions
  • Marketing / Design: creative direction, brand + vibe curation, social media outreach, digital asset creation, promotion of crowdfunded efforts
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, and we plan to firm up the team in the next 1-2 months.
