United States onlyAbout the Job
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.
