Marketing & Communications
San Francisco, CA, USA
Posted on Tuesday, January 10, 2023
OpenSea is the first and largest marketplace for NFTs, offering a diverse range of unique and verifiable digital assets backed by blockchain. We're excited about building a platform that supports a brand new economy based on true digital ownership and are proud to be recognized as Y Combinator's #3 ranked top private company.
When hiring, we look for candidates who can thrive in our culture of trust, feedback, and rapid growth. We believe that diversity and inclusivity are essential to our success, and we provide equal employment opportunities regardless of background or identity. Our opportunities support remote, hybrid, or onsite work at our offices in New York City, San Francisco, or Silicon Valley, and we're dedicated to creating an environment where all employees can do their best work and contribute to the growth of our platform.
Reporting to OpenSea’s Head of Communications, the Communications Lead will manage and oversee programs, narratives, and campaigns to tell OpenSea’s story – and the broader NFT story – to the world. The ideal candidate will be a creative, dynamic, confident, and detail-oriented storyteller, with an innate ability to problem-solve, bring ideas to life, and build relationships. This is a deeply collaborative role, supporting cross-functional partners across Marketing, Partnerships, Product, Policy, and Trust and Safety.

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.
If you don't think you meet all of the criteria but still are interested in the job, please apply. Nobody checks every box, and we're looking for someone who is excited to join the team.
The base salary for this full-time position, which spans across multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $150,000 to $265,000 plus benefits & equity.
