Who are we?

IOG, is a technology company focused on Blockchain research and development. We are renowned for our scientific approach to blockchain development, emphasizing peer-reviewed research and formal methods to ensure security, scalability, and sustainability. Our projects include decentralized finance (DeFi), governance, and identity management, aiming to advance the capabilities and adoption of blockchain technology globally.

We invest in the unknown, applying our curiosity and desire for positive change to everything we do. By fueling creativity, innovation, and progress within our teams, our products and services are designed for people to be fearless, to be changemakers.

What the role involves:

As the Senior Knowledge Strategist will be the foundational architect of IOG’s Enterprise Knowledge Management (EKM) system. This role is responsible for designing, building, and implementing a comprehensive strategy to capture, structure, and disseminate IOG’s vast intellectual capital. You will transform how we manage information, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and creating reliable sources of truth that empowers data-driven decisions, accelerates innovation, and enhances operational efficiency across the entire organization. This is a critical role that will lay the groundwork for our advanced AI and automation initiatives within the Integra ecosystem.

EKM Strategy & Architecture:

  • Design and own the vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for Enterprise Knowledge Management at IOG. Develop the core information architecture, including taxonomies, ontologies, and metadata frameworks that will serve as the backbone of our knowledge systems.

System Design & Implementation:

  • Lead the selection, design, and implementation of KM technologies and platforms. Work with engineering and IT teams to ensure seamless integration with existing systems, particularly the Business Operating System (BOS) and future AI-driven tools.

Knowledge Capture & Curation:

  • Establish robust processes for identifying, capturing, and validating critical knowledge from across all business units—from research and engineering to operations and strategy. Develop content lifecycle and governance standards.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Evangelism:

  • Act as the primary advocate for knowledge management across IOG. Collaborate closely with department heads and senior leaders to understand their needs, secure buy-in, and drive the adoption of new KM practices and tools.

Search & Discovery:

  • Engineer a powerful and intuitive search and discovery experience, enabling employees to find relevant, verified information and expertise quickly and efficiently.

Governance & Measurement:

  • Define and implement a governance model for the EKM. Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the system's effectiveness, adoption rates, and impact on business objectives, reporting progress to executive leadership.

EKM & OD & L&D alignment:

  • Map EKM taxonomy to the role/level framework and skills library, and mirror it in the learning taxonomy, powering role-based paths and consistent tagging across SOPs, courses, and job aids.

Insights to action:

  • Use EKM analytics (search/usage, expertise maps, gaps, duplication) to steer L&D roadmaps and OD workforce planning/succession; run a Quarterly Knowledge Review to set next-quarter priorities.

Requirements

Who you are:

  • 10+ years of experience in knowledge management, information architecture, or a related field, with a proven track record of designing and building enterprise-scale KM systems.
  • Demonstrated experience leading major KM or information architecture projects from conception to launch in a technology-focused company.
  • Strong fluency in KM principles, modern technologies (e.g., graph databases, semantic search), and industry best practices.
  • Experience working in a distributed, global organization is highly desirable.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Information Science, Library Science, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Strategic & Systems Thinking: Ability to design a complex, enterprise-wide system from the ground up, aligning the KM strategy with long-term business goals, especially those related to AI and operational excellence.
  • Information Architecture Expertise: Deep, hands-on expertise in designing and implementing taxonomies, ontologies, and metadata schemas in a complex, technical organization.
  • Technical Acumen: Strong understanding of modern KM platforms, search technologies, content management systems, and the principles of API-driven architectures. Familiarity with AI/ML concepts is a significant plus.
  • Influence & Collaboration: Proven ability to influence and build consensus across diverse, highly technical teams and with executive stakeholders without direct authority.
  • Pragmatic Execution: A builder's mindset with the ability to translate a long-term vision into a concrete, phased implementation plan and drive it to completion.

Benefits

  • Remote work
  • Laptop reimbursement
  • New starter package to buy hardware essentials (headphones, monitor, etc)
  • Learning & Development opportunities
  • Competitive PTO

View company profile

Founded in 2015 by Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood, IOHK is one of the world's pre-eminent blockchain infrastructure research and engineering companies. We are a fully decentralised remote working organisation committed to the highest principles of academic rigour and evidence-based software development. The company builds high-assurance blockchain infrastructure solutions for public, private sector and government clients. It is also the driving force behind the decentralised and smart contract platform, Cardano.

Cascading disruption

It is the founding principle of IOHK. Cascading disruption is the idea that most of the structures that form the world’s financial, governance and social systems are inherently unstable and thus minor perturbations can cause a ripple effect that fundamentally reconfigures the entire system. Our company is committed to identifying and developing technology to force these perturbations in order to push towards a more fair and transparent order.

The mission of IOHK

We view the world as a series of giant and mostly interconnected social graphs with hundreds of complex systems embedded. Our mission is to perturb the graphs to a more connected, transparent and fair configuration for both the flow of ideas and value.

Input Output the company

IOHK is a truly global organisation with a remote team of 400+ people across 50+ countries. We have a rich culture with people from all over the world offering different skillsets, different cultural perspectives and at different life stages.
