Job Overview

Reporting to OpenSea’s Head of Communications, the Corporate and Policy Communications Lead will oversee corporate, policy and crisis communications and relevant thought leadership. This role will collaborate closely with cross-functional partners across Legal, Policy, Trust and Safety, Community, Marketing, and Finance teams, and be tasked with building trust, defending our reputation, and influencing opinion leaders through compelling storytelling and proactive Comms. This is an incredible opportunity for a scrappy, strategic problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is energized by the unknown, and can inspire a team to do their best work—even in a crisis. The perfect candidate will exemplify OpenSea’s principles of trust, inclusivity and diversity, and help shape OpenSea’s corporate story through strategic storytelling. And you’ve gotta be able to laugh.

  • Shape and deploy compelling, differentiated narratives that build trust and credibility; help navigate announcements, issues, and organizational change, and position OpenSea as the global leader in NFTs
  • Lead crisis response, connecting dots internally and developing a playbook to prepare for issues-based crises in the future
  • Develop program and campaign plans that align Corporate Comms within wider team and company OKRs; build and manage an internal team, manage external agency partners, and establish a reporting process that appropriately reflects program impact
  • Develop and execute executive visibility campaigns for relevant leadership: manage thought leadership platforms, develop related content (including executive presentations, speeches, social media/community comms, op-eds, etc), and become a trusted partner to leaders, counseling them to more effectively tell stories, manage crisis, and model OpenSea principles through external storytelling.
  • Serve as an OpenSea spokesperson during times of crisis, lead media relations as needed for related Corp Comms outreach

  • If you don't think you meet all of the criteria below 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.

Must-Have Skills

  • Proven experience leading corporate and crisis comms for high growth consumer tech companies
  • Expert detective with an ability to quickly connect dots, expose important details, draft messaging, and solve communications problems in a fast-paced environment
  • Deeply strategic and creative, with an eye for progressive communications formats/channels and the ability to tailor strategies to reach multiple audiences
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, editing skills, and confidence presenting and defending plans to senior leaders
  • Excellent at communicating up, down, across, and within the team – with clarity and purpose
  • Exceptional organizational and project management skills; ability to adapt quickly to change in a highly dynamic environment with tight deadlines and changing priorities; exhibits flexibility, resilience, and grace under pressure
  • Deep media relations experience, an established set of relevant reporter relationships, and the proven ability to pitch and place top tier feature stories
  • Low ego, high impact, team player—we’re in it together at OpenSea!

OpenSea Overview

At OpenSea, we're excited about a brand new type of digital good called a non-fungible token, or NFT. NFTs have exciting new properties: they’re unique, provably scarce, tradeable, and usable across multiple applications. Just like physical goods, you can do whatever you want with them! You could throw them in the trash, gift them to a friend across the world, or go sell them on an open marketplace. But unlike physical goods, they're armed with all the programmability of digital goods.
