Job description

Join to apply for the Communications Manager role at Digital Asset

Digital Asset is at the forefront of blockchain innovation, delivering solutions that unlock the value of on-chain tokenized assets and digital financial markets to create a more efficient, fair, and resilient global financial system.

As the creators of Canton Network, and one of the founding members of Canton’s Global Synchronizer Foundation, we are pioneers in open, secure, and interoperable infrastructure that transforms the way capital markets operate – focused on the growth of the only layer one blockchain with privacy and decentralized governance. The Canton Network processes over $3.6T of tokenized real-world assets today, providing the scalable rails for diverse digital assets from tokenized money market funds and privacy-enabled stablecoins, to 24x7 collateral and next-generation custody and asset servicing.

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in New York City, with offices in London, Zurich, Budapest, Hong Kong, and Sydney — we are on a mission to transform finance — and we’re just getting started.

If you’re interested in playing a crucial role at the intersection of traditional and crypto-capital markets and want to help bring the next trillion dollars of finance on-chain, join us.

As a Communications Manager, this is an exciting opportunity to play an important role in the development and execution of a comprehensive communications strategy for Digital Asset and the Canton Network. This includes driving internal and external messaging, managing media relationships, supporting ecosystem storytelling, and aligning efforts across the Canton Foundation and Canton Network participants.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Communications & Messaging:

• Play a role in developing core messaging for the Canton Network and maintain consistent positioning across all communications channels

• Coordinate closely with Digital Asset leadership to align messaging on broader company initiatives with Canton-related efforts

Ecosystem & Foundation Alignment:

• Collaborate with the Foundation’s communications and governance teams to support cross-entity communications plans
• Help craft and manage joint initiatives (e.g., developer updates, governance news, technical milestones) under the Foundation's purview
• Ensure Foundation messaging is harmonized with Canton Network’s goals, narrative, and regulatory sensitivities
• Partner with communications leads at banks, asset managers, exchanges, and other ecosystem firms to coordinate external messaging
• Manage approval workflows for co-branded announcements, press, and event sponsorships
• Build shared communications calendars across the network and synchronize content for major milestones (launches, integrations, product rollouts)

Media Relations & Thought Leadership:

• Develop relationships with top-tier fintech, crypto, and traditional finance reporters
• Identify and secure opportunities for executives and ecosystem leaders to speak at key industry conferences and in the media
• Prepare spokespeople with briefing documents, talking points, and media training where needed

Internal Communications:

• Maintain regular internal updates on Canton Network progress and ecosystem developments via newsletters, All Hands support, and internal collaboration tools
• Partner with HR and leadership to ensure transparent communication on change initiatives or governance updates

Measurement & Reporting:

• Monitor media coverage, track sentiment and engagement, and generate reporting for internal stakeholders
• Manage communications KPIs and assess campaign effectiveness

Campaign & Launch Coordination:

• Lead multi-stakeholder communications campaigns for major product releases, ecosystem partnerships, and governance changes
• Coordinate with PR agencies, design, and marketing teams to ensure timely, high-quality execution
• Act as a liaison between technical teams, legal, and communications teams to ensure precision and compliance

Key Criteria

• 6–10 years in financial services, technology, or blockchain-focused communications, ideally within fintech, capital markets, or infrastructure
• Experience managing or coordinating communications across multiple external partners or stakeholder groups
• Experience translating technical concepts for general business and press audiences
• Experience supporting or managing an ecosystem of partner communications
• Strong media instincts with a proven record of managing high-impact announcements and narratives
