Africans are fast curving a niche for themselves in the blockchain industry as they try to identify a fitting role in the space. Blockchain opened up the door of endless opportunities outside the mainstream financial industry. Some of these roles have never been named in mainstream, yet they are meeting pressing needs in the blockchain market. Below are some of the potential job opportunities that Africans can take advantage of.

Crypto Analyst

Financial Analysts are not new matter of fact, but there is a new demand for those who are specialized in cryptocurrency analysis. As attention is shifting towards the blockchain market, there is a need to bridge the gap.

Crypto Analysts can keep tract with market trends, become proficient in on-chain analysis, technical analysis and fundamental analysis. They can also get conversant with big traditional financial players who approach the crypto market with huge funding.

Telegram community managers

If you are vast in cryptocurrency marketing, you will have noticed that the use of telegram for marketing improved significantly since cryptocurrencies began to gain traction. The reason is that most altcoin projects use telegram channels to host their communities.

One of the ways to take advantage of telegram is to grow your own blockchain community on telegram. New projects can hire you as a community manager if you have successfully grown your telegram channel. Coupled with the fact that blockchain is borderless, new projects would love to reach communities where their legs cannot take them. Hence, they rely on the activities of telegram community managers to get across to new communities.

School Ambassadors

As an African blockchain enthusiast, do not say you are a student and have no place in the blockchain space. School Ambassadors are like blockchain school community managers. Crypto projects hire students on contract to mobilize fellow students for seminars, bootcamps, meetups and other community events in order to get new signups on their platform.

To be a school ambassador in the blockchain space, you need to have a good PR in school, a bit of influence and ofcourse good marketing skills.

Game developer

In Africa, we have lots of developers who still have not realized how to solve problems with it. Developers can jump on blockchain game development. The game industry is very lucrative especially in the blockchain where we have to play-to-earn games.

Game developers can collaborate with colleagues, or work with traditional game establishments to recreate traditional games on the blockchain space.
