  • Act as an integral member of the global comms/PR team, contributing to worldwide initiatives and helping amplify global campaigns across APAC.
  • Activate PR opportunities through OKX's global partnerships, including McLaren F1 Team and Manchester City Football Club, generating visibility across media and potential users.
  • Write and oversee PR plans, press materials, executive messaging, and content for key announcements and initiatives.
  • Ensure brand consistency and messaging discipline across all regional communications efforts.
  • Track, report on, and actively influence media coverage to align with business objectives.

  • Established media connections across APAC relationships across business, broadcast, financial, and crypto media.
  • Proven track record running regional and global PR campaigns that generate significant, high-quality media coverage.
  • Experience with investment and financial communications.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset, you set ambitious targets, hold yourself accountable, and know how to get results in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
  • Team management experience and the ability to lead, mentor, and inspire.
  • Bachelor's degree in Communications, Marketing, Journalism, or a related field.
  • Fluent in English; proficiency in other languages is an advantage.
