Job description

We’re looking for a hands-on, self-driven Social Media Manager to grow the Status movement (users, followers, contributors, and supporters), spark engagement, and build crypto twitter culture around the Status App and ecosystem.

At Status, we’re building a privacy-preserving Super App for secure and confidential communication and financial coordination with friends, communities, and business partners. Status app brings together:

• an anonymous, peer-to-peer privacy messenger making it easy to communicate and coordinate your financial transactions and interactions with friends and business partners in one place;
• a secure, self-custodial multi-chain crypto wallet to manage your crypto asset portfolio without giving up your privacy;
• censorship-resistant, decentralized communities for people that value privacy, freedom, and autonomy in their digital interactions.

We’re expanding into chat/social, financial, and lifestyle services (splitting a bill, tips for messages, mini apps, etc.) in the Status App — while building new products across the Status ecosystem.

This is not a “corporate social media” role. We need someone to truly own our media channels and make them human, authentic, and exciting. Someone who gets meme culture, loves real conversations on social media, and knows how to spark engagement that feels alive. You’ll listen, share stories, and start conversations that matter — helping grow the Status community of people building tools to take back real control over their digital lives. Our comms should be playful yet purposeful: grounded in privacy, freedom, and open source. That means showing why decentralization matters, reminding the world that privacy is a right (not a feature), and proving that open source is how we win.

You should be a driver and self-starter — ready to roll up your sleeves and take care of both the creativity and execution of our social media efforts, while working in tandem with the Program Lead on strategic planning. Your execution and strategy won’t exist in isolation — they’ll be an expansion of our Status product strategy and roadmap.

What you’ll do:

• Posting, listening, engaging, and learning from the community
• Share real content — memes, videos, hot takes, threads, deep dives — whatever works to spark conversation and engagement
• Celebrate Status ecosystem wins, highlight user stories/posts, and amplify builders, privacy advocates, and open source contributors

Bring crypto twitter and meme culture into our comms

• Stay on top of crypto narratives to weave timely, relevant narratives and memes into posts and campaigns
• Create and remix basic meme images, GIFs, and short videos; remix existing assets. You’ll have illustrator/video creator support when needed
• Keep the voice right — rebellious, grounded, and human — never polished or corporate

Social listening & trend spotting & reporting/insights

• Monitor crypto channels (X, Reddit, Farcaster, etc.), Web2 events/channels to spot events, discussions, and trends relevant to the Status app, SNT, and the overall Status ecosystem to leverage them in our comms
• Find and boost content from others in the space — especially from builders, privacy advocates, and open source contributors
• Keep an ear to the ground: know what people are saying about us, about crypto, about surveillance, and help us respond thoughtfully
• Propose, create, and post timely comms content: ad-hoc posts, retweets, reactive campaigns
• Track social sentiment and feedback on the Status App & ecosystem
• Use data as a compass (not a report card) to refine strategy and execution — what’s resonating? Who’s engaging? Where should we show up more?
• Work in tandem with the Program Lead on defining social media strategy for the Status Apps and ecosystem based on our product strategy and roadmap

Content production & distribution and campaigns planning & execution

• Prepare release comms: release notes (will be supported by Product), blog posts (will be supported by editors), visuals (will be supported by a visual designer when needed), teasers, and post-release messages
• Plan and execute event-based campaigns (ecosystem launches, major milestones)
• Collaborate with partners (bridges, swaps, on/off ramps, etc.) and other projects who share our values for joint marketing and comms campaigns
• Suggest and roll out blog articles (with Product and editors), then promote them across channels
• Manage the in-app Status news feeds with comms that drive feature discovery & engagement
• Collaborate with the Status Community Manager to drive in-app communities and conversations.

We are looking for:

You have experience working in start-ups and are comfortable with their fast-pace and always changing/adaptable nature.

• You’ve spent time in web3, crypto, or privacy spaces — not just as a user, but as an active participant (open source contributions, dev community activity, small projects, etc.). Tell us :)
• You know your way around social platforms — especially the ones where real debate happens (Reddit, long-form X threads).
• You write like you talk — clearly, passionately, without buzzwords.
• You can put together images/videos or edit them if needed (we’re not asking for Hollywood — just “good enough” and authentic).
• You’re organized without being robotic — you can plan a content calendar, but you’re also ready to jump on something urgent or unexpected.
• You’re comfortable working asynchronously, remotely, and without constant oversight.
• You’re curious — always learning, always watching what’s happening in tech, privacy, and decentralization.
• You believe in open source not just as code, but as a way of building power together.
• You are located in the European time zone or close to it.
• You’ve worked with or contributed to an open source project before
• Familiarity with or experience in growth marketing and SEO

Hiring Process:

• Intro call with Talent team member
• Paid task
• Panel interview with Status Lead and Status Network Lead

Why this matters?

We’re not trying to be the next big tech company. We’re trying to build something that outlasts them. That means every tweet, every reply, every video isn’t just “content” — it’s part of a bigger conversation about freedom, privacy, and who gets to shape the future of the internet.

If that fires you up — we want to hear from you.
