About the Role

We're looking for a Communications Manager to serve as a hands‑on executor across media relations, partner go‑to‑market communications, and executive support. Reporting to the Senior Director of Communications, you'll be responsible for turning product milestones and partner launches into polished press materials, pitching stories to reporters, coordinating cross‑functional approvals, and keeping our comms engine running smoothly day to day.

What You’ll Do

• Pitch and secure coverage across mainstream, tier‑1, and industry outlets on an ongoing basis to position MoonPay as a globally recognized brand.
• Own the end‑to‑end press release lifecycle – from drafting and internal review through legal approval, partner sign‑off, and wire distribution via PR Newswire.
• Build and maintain MoonPay's network of media contacts, proactively sourcing new journalists to cultivate ongoing relationships with key press contacts to drive future coverage.
• Field inbound press inquiries, coordinating with internal subject‑matter experts to provide timely and accurate responses.
• Track and compile comprehensive media coverage reports and visibility metrics.
• Write supporting content including blog posts on MoonPay’s Newsroom.
• Source and draft award nominations and industry list submissions.
• Prepare briefing documents and talking points for executives ahead of conference panels, fireside chats, and media interviews.
• Support speaker logistics for events – registrations, scheduling, and coordination with event organizers.
• Coordinate across time zones with product, partnerships, legal, and leadership to align on messaging and announcement timing.
• Manage relationships with PR tools and vendor platforms.
• Keep the GTM pipeline tracker up to date and flag scheduling conflicts or dependencies.

What We’re Looking For

• 4–6 years of experience in journalism, communications, PR, or media relations – ideally in crypto, fintech, or high‑growth tech.
• Strong writing skills – able to produce press releases, blog posts, briefing docs, and social content that are polished, accurate, and interesting.
• Comfortable working across product, partnerships, and legal teams in a fast‑paced, async‑first environment.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and a fast‑moving editorial calendar.
• Experience with wire distribution services and PR tools such as Muck Rack, Cision, or others.
• Background in crypto or blockchain – understanding of stablecoins, on/off‑ramps, and regulatory landscapes.
• Experience coordinating with external PR agencies and international media coverage (not mandatory).
• Prior agency experience at a crypto or fintech‑focused PR firm (not mandatory).

Benefits

• Competitive salary package.
• Equity package – all employees have ownership at MoonPay.
• Pay for performance equity bonus – those who drive outsized outcomes receive outsized rewards.
• Moonshot award – 10 employees twice a year, each earning a 250,000 equity grant.
• Unlimited holidays – autonomy to choose when to work (and when to switch off).
• Hybrid working schedule – work fully remotely or at nearest Moonbase, the choice is yours.
• Private healthcare benefits – to protect you and your loved ones.
• Enhanced parental leave – spend more time with loved ones without a second thought.
• Annual training budget – we support your training journey every step of the way.
• Home office setup allowance – create the home office of your dreams.
• Remote working allowance – those working fully remotely get a little extra for utilities.
• Monthly budget to spend on our products and zero‑fee crypto transactions.
• Employee referral programme – receive 10,000 USDC for referring employees.
• Regular remote company offsites – meet colleagues regularly for high‑impact in‑person sessions and hackathons.
• Working in a disruptive and fast‑growing company where excellence is rewarded.
