Job Description
TheHiveCareers is recruiting a Chief Blockchain Officer to set direction for blockchain, distributed ledger, digital asset and Web3 work. This is an executive post covering blockchain products, operating processes and new income streams.
The officer sets the direction and briefs the chief executive, directors and senior leaders on emerging trends, risks and openings in blockchain.
