Partnership Management / Community Building:

-Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with existing and potential partners to enhance event success.

-Serve as a bridge between event operations and the engineering team, ensuring events provide real value to developers.

-Gather and analyze developer feedback, participation data, and project outcomes to measure the success of events.

-Produce detailed post-event reports with key insights to improve future developer programs.

-Work with internal teams to track developer engagement, hackathon project adoption, and contributions to the Aptos ecosystem.
