Web3 Marketing Public Relations Jobs

About ChainlinkChainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.

Many of the world’s largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink’s standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, S&P Dow Jones Indices, FTSE Russell, WisdomTree, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, Lido, GMX and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve. Learn more at chain.link.

Chainlink Labs is seeking a Senior Communications Lead, Media Relations to own the strategy and execution of our most important external announcements across DeFi, banking, capital markets, and institutional adoption.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone who has repeatedly secured meaningful coverage around major company, product, partnership, and market-moving news. The ideal candidate has deep relationships across top-tier business, financial, broadcast, crypto, and trade media, and knows how to turn complex infrastructure stories into clear narratives that break through beyond the crypto industry.

You'll work closely with communications, product marketing, business development, legal, ecosystem, and executive stakeholders to plan, package, pitch, and execute announcements end to end. The role suits a proactive, journalist-connected, fast-moving operator who is comfortable in a remote-first, globally distributed environment where major news moments demand urgency, judgment, and ownership.

Your Impact

• Lead media strategy and execution for Chainlink's major announcements across DeFi, banking, capital markets, tokenized assets, stablecoins, interoperability, data, and compliance

• Translate complex technical, institutional, and market-infrastructure developments into clear narratives for mainstream business, financial, crypto, and trade audiences

• Secure high-quality earned coverage across top-tier business, financial, broadcast, crypto, fintech, and institutional trade publications

• Build and maintain strong personal relationships with journalists, editors, producers, and bookers across financial services, technology, crypto, and capital markets

• Identify the right targets for each announcement; mainstream business outlets, financial television, crypto-native publications, trade media, podcasts, newsletters, and industry analysts

• Own the full announcement process: strategy, press materials, targeted pitching, embargo management, spokesperson prep, interview coordination, coverage tracking, and post-launch reporting

• Prepare executives and spokespeople for interviews, briefings, broadcast appearances, podcasts, conference media, and sensitive conversations

• Write and refine press releases, pitches, messaging documents, Q&As, briefing materials, talking points, reactive statements, and reporter backgrounders

• Monitor market, media, policy, and Web3 narratives to find timely openings for Chainlink to enter or shape the broader conversation

• Partner cross-functionally with product, business development, ecosystem, legal, policy, marketing, social, and content teams to keep all external communications accurate and strategically aligned

Requirements

• At least 7+ years of communications, PR, or media relations experience, ideally across crypto, fintech, financial services, capital markets, enterprise technology, or high-growth tech

• Proven track record securing coverage for major company, product, partnership, funding, institutional, or ecosystem announcements

• Strong existing relationships with top-tier business, financial, broadcast, crypto, fintech, and trade media; including journalists, editors, producers, and bookers

• Demonstrated ability to turn complex or technical topics into simple, compelling narratives for mainstream and professional financial audiences

• Strong understanding of the Web3 industry, including DeFi, tokenization, stablecoins, blockchain infrastructure, crypto markets, and institutional adoption

• Excellent writing and editing across press releases, pitches, messaging documents, Q&As, briefing materials, and executive talking points

• Highly organized and execution-oriented, able to manage multiple announcements, stakeholders, and timelines at once

• Comfortable working directly with senior executives and preparing them for high-stakes media moments

• Experience working in-house, at an agency, or across both

• Able to thrive in a remote-first environment where major announcements don't always fit a traditional 9-to-5

Preferred Requirements

• New York City; based or able to be regularly present in New York for executive media engagements, broadcast interviews, reporter meetings, and financial industry events

• Existing relationships with producers, bookers, and reporters at top financial broadcast outlets

• Experience supporting communications for banking, capital markets, tokenization, stablecoin, payments, or financial-infrastructure announcements

• Experience managing media relations for both crypto-native and mainstream business audiences

• Agency management experience; setting expectations, coordinating execution, and holding partners accountable to measurable outcomes

• Experience supporting executives at conferences, in broadcast studios, on podcasts, and in live media environments

• Strong interest in how Chainlink is bringing capital markets onchain
