Job Short Description

Responsibilites:

Develop and execute key communication campaigns designed to reach a variety of target audiences, increase brand awareness, and build reputation.

Shape and deploy compelling, differentiated narratives that build our brand, establish trust and credibility, elevate creators / their stories, launch new products, and announce new partnerships.

Craft comms materials – including blog posts, position pieces, reactive statements, media pitches, etc. – to effectively tell OpenSea’s story and elevate key executives/POVs.

Research, identify, and track new opportunities to elevate OpenSea’s story and executives.

Develop, prep and execute thought leadership campaigns for OpenSea executives, counseling them to more effectively tell stories, manage crises, and model OpenSea principles through storytelling.

Manage all aspects of media relations, including building and maintaining relationships with media of all kinds.

Help lead crisis response by connecting dots internally, drafting reactive statements, and building offensive narratives / campaigns to navigate issues and organizational change. You’ll also help refine our strategic response process.

Monitor the media and respond appropriately to inquiries and issues as they arise.

Serve as an OpenSea spokesperson as needed.

Desired Experience:

You’re (obviously!) a strong writer and communicator. But beyond that…

You’re a creative, strategic, self-starter who’s adept at synthesizing complex information, problem solving, and project managing.

You have an innate storytelling ability: you’re inspired by what you read about and observe, have intuition about what will “work,” and can synthesize multiple inputs to bring strong storylines to life with minimal oversight.

You're deeply collaborative, and look for opportunities to have a greater impact through cross-functional, integrated marketing.

You don’t just love the beginning of projects – you’re excited by the components, the process, and delight in sharing strong results. 

You have past experience navigating complex issues / crises, and the ability to see around corners and anticipate questions. 

Perhaps most importantly, you are fascinated by emerging technology (and the challenges that come along with it!), thrive in a dynamic environment, and are energized by the unknown. And of course, you like to laugh.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

Prior interest in or understanding of blockchain and NFT technology

Experience in-house and in-agency

Experience in a startup environment
