Job description

ICR, LLC – New York, NY or Norwalk, CTICR – one of the fastest-growing strategic communications firms globally – is seeking an experienced financial communications professional to help grow its Crypto, Digital Assets, and Blockchain (CDAB) practice. This is a senior‑level role offering significant opportunities for professional growth and career advancement.

About the Role

We are seeking a strategic thinker with a track record of shaping financial and market narratives, securing tier‑one media coverage, and advising executives on high‑stakes communications challenges.

The successful candidate will be expected to quickly build expertise in this dynamic and evolving sector and contribute meaningfully to both existing and new CDAB accounts.
