Director / VP, Communications

The Director / VP of Communications will own zerohash’s earned media and corporate narrative at a pivotal stage of growth. This leader will define how zerohash is understood by financial media, fintech and crypto press, partners, regulators, and employees, and ensure the company is consistently positioned at the center of institutional digital asset adoption.

This is a senior (10-12+ years of experience), hands-on role reporting to the CMO and working in close partnership with the CEO and executive team. The role requires both executive polish and startup intensity: the ability to advise the CEO ahead of a national interview and personally pitch reporters that same afternoon.

The ideal candidate brings deep relationships across top-tier business and financial outlets (Bloomberg, CNBC, WSJ, FT, Reuters) and strong fluency in fintech and crypto media. They understand how to navigate complex regulatory and infrastructure narratives and how to translate them into compelling, tangible stories that break through.

Importantly, this individual must be agile in shaping narrative by audience. They should be equally comfortable framing a macro infrastructure story for The Wall Street Journal or CNBC as they are positioning a technical product angle for crypto-native or fintech publications. They know how to adjust tone, depth, and emphasis depending on who is listening.

This role is designed for a high-caliber operator who has led communications at scale, ideally at a fast-growing fintech, payments, infrastructure, or crypto company, and is ready to apply that experience in a high-impact environment. We are looking for someone who has seen what excellence looks like at a leading platform and can build toward that standard here.

The right candidate combines executive-level polish and credibility with a scrappy, creative instinct for angles, timing, and momentum.

zerohash sits at the intersection of stablecoins, tokenization, and institutional crypto infrastructure. As adoption accelerates, strengthening top of funnel awareness and thought leadership becomes more and more critical. This role exists to:

• Increase zerohash’s presence in top-tier financial and fintech media
• Elevate the deep subject matter expertise and thought leadership of the company’s executive and operating team
• Convert complex infrastructure topics into clear, differentiated, and newsworthy stories
• Ensure communications scales alongside the company’s institutional growth

• Lead and execute zerohash’s earned media strategy across financial/business, fintech, crypto, and technology publications
• Serve as a strategic communications advisor to the CEO and executive leadership team

• Drive proactive pitching tied to product launches, partnerships, data reports, and major market moments

• Shape and refine the corporate narrative across announcements and partner communications
• Partner closely with CMO, Product, and Relationship Management on joint announcements and positioning
• Leverage proprietary data and market insights to create differentiated story angles
• Oversee internal communications alignment as needed

• Significant experience in financial services, fintech, payments, or crypto communications (10-12+ years minimum)
• Established relationships across major business and financial media
• Direct experience advising CEOs and senior executives
• Demonstrated ability to distill complex technical and regulatory topics into accessible narratives
• Strong data fluency: comfortable anchoring stories in metrics and research
• Ability to tailor messaging across institutional, technical, and industry audiences
• Executive presence and professionalism suitable for institutional stakeholders
• Scrappy, creative operator who can both set strategy and execute independently

• zerohash is consistently included in top-tier financial and fintech coverage tied to major industry developments and infrastructure conversations.
• The CEO and executive team are recognized as trusted infrastructure voices, with messaging calibrated appropriately across mainstream and industry-specific outlets.
• The company’s narrative is clear, differentiated, and data-backed, reinforcing institutional credibility at every stage of growth.

• Healthcare Insurance: zerohash covers roughly 100% of employee premiums as well as a portion of spouse/children (U.S. only)
• Vision & Dental Insurance (U.S. only)
• Chance to earn equity
• Maternity & Paternity leave (after 6 months)
• WeWork All Access Membership
