This is a high-impact opportunity for a seasoned PR professional who can hit the ground running — building and managing KOL relationships, leading event activations, and navigating communications in the fast-paced crypto industry.

 

In this role, you will take ownership of KOL partnerships end-to-end — from identifying and engaging high-impact influencers to leading event coordination and managing sensitive communications with composure. As a key representative of our brand, you will ensure smooth collaboration and maintain strong public perception across KOL-facing initiatives.

 

If you are a proactive, confident communicator with a proven track record in influencer relations and a readiness to contribute from day one, we would love to hear from you!

    • Serve as the primary liaison between the company and KOLs, ensuring timely, professional, and relationship-driven communication.

    • Manage crisis communications involving KOLs, acting as a calm and strategic point of contact during sensitive situations.

    • Develop and deliver structured reporting on KOL performance, campaign impact, and public sentiment trends.

    • Partner with cross-functional teams (Marketing, Growth, Compliance) to align KOL strategies with broader PR and business goals.

    • Represent the company professionally at industry events, media engagements, and KOL-facing activities.

Requirements:

    • Bachelor's degree in Communications, Marketing, Public Relations, or a related field.

    • 5+ years of experience in KOL/influencer relations, PR, or partnerships, preferably within tech, fintech, or consumer brands.

    • Proven track record of independently managing KOL portfolios from sourcing to activation — able to hit the ground running with minimal onboarding.

    • Fluency in English is required to be able to coordinate with overseas partners and stakeholders. Additional languages would be an advantage.

    • Exceptional interpersonal and relationship-building skills, with confidence in engaging high-profile individuals and managing sensitive conversations.

    • Polished, presentable, and comfortable representing the brand at external events and on-camera engagements.

    • Strong crisis management instincts — able to navigate sensitive situations with composure and sound judgment.

    • Proactive, detail-oriented, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment.

    • Knowledge of or interest in crypto/blockchain is a plus but not mandatory.
