## About Paxos

Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it. We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard and Interactive Brokers.

## About the role

The Head of Communications will build and lead Paxos’ communications strategy across executive, corporate, policy, internal and product communications. This leader will own how Paxos shows up with the media, regulators, partners, and employees, re-establishing our presence in key conversations while supporting a highly regulated, global business.

## What you’ll do

- Define and execute a long-term, global communications strategy that integrates executive, corporate, policy, internal, and product narratives into a coherent story for Paxos.
- Lead media and press relations, including proactive storytelling and responsive reputation management, to return Paxos to a strong presence in key financial and crypto outlets.
- Own company-wide internal and executive communications in partnership with existing internal comms and marketing, especially around high-stakes, regulated topics and major company milestones.
- Serve as a trusted advisor and thought partner to the CEO & the executive team, shaping narratives, recommendations, and decision-ready options on communications strategy and execution.
- Use AI tools and systems to increase leverage in content development, research, and measurement
- Direct and coordinate external agencies, advisors, and cross-functional partners to deliver high-quality, on-message communications across regions and time zones.

## About you

- 12+ years in communications with experience in senior leadership roles, including meaningful time in tech, fintech, or financial services; experience in crypto and blockchain preferred but not required.
- Deep experience across multiple comms sub-functions (executive, corporate, policy/regulatory, internal, product), with clear depth in at least one and comfort overseeing all.
- Proven ability to manage press and media relations and to define and execute plans that re-establish a company’s brand in key media and industry forums.
- Track record of partnering closely with C-level leaders as a trusted extension of their voice.
- Experience at fintech companies or banks, ideally with the last several years at a crypto-native or crypto-forward company (e.g., built brand and mindshare in crypto/fintech).
- Strong, existing relationships or demonstrable ability to build relationships with relevant finance/crypto reporters and outlets; ability to operate across US and international markets.
- Confident, extroverted, humble personality with strong discussion and recommendation skills.

Nice to Have qualifications:

- Direct experience in crypto-native companies (e.g., Coinbase, Circle) where you helped build a strong brand and media footprint.
- Prior work closely tied to regulatory or policy communications, especially in Washington DC or other major regulatory hubs.
- Experience building or significantly scaling a comms function, including hiring and managing internal teams and agencies.
- Background in payments, fintech, or TradFi with strong connectivity into finance reporters and publications that cover both finance and crypto beats.
