We’re looking for a Founding Public Relations Lead to build and own all PR efforts for a fast-growing product company at the forefront of onchain innovation.
This is a high-impact, strategic role where you will shape the company’s public voice, lead storytelling across major industry moments, and drive coverage across top-tier financial media.
What You’ll Do
- Build and lead all in-house PR strategy as the founding member of the communications function.
- Drive media outreach and secure press coverage across top-tier traditional finance outlets—Bloomberg, CNBC, WSJ, Reuters, Financial Times, Forbes, etc.
- Develop and maintain direct, personal relationships with financial journalists and editors.
- Partner closely with product, marketing, and leadership teams to understand the roadmap and craft compelling storylines.
- Lead press for events, launches, announcements, and executive interviews.
- Build messaging frameworks, talking points, press releases, and external communications.
- Work cross-functionally to ensure consistent brand voice and narrative across all channels.
- Act as the point of contact for crisis comms or sensitive media situations.
- Strong, direct relationships with top-tier traditional finance media (must-have).
- Proven experience leading PR, communications, or media relations—either in-house or agency-side.
- Exceptional storytelling and narrative development skills.
- Someone comfortable working in a fast-moving company with frequent launches and events.
- Understanding of the crypto / Web3 landscape and its narratives (you don’t need Web3 experience, but you must understand the space).
- A builder’s mindset — comfortable being the first PR hire and setting up function, processes, and strategy.
