About the position

📍Lead the development and execution of Parity’s internal and external communications strategy that positions Parity as a leader in tech innovation and a core driver of Polkadot’s technical roadmap. 📍Work closely with engineers and product leads from day one of new initiatives to understand the tech, then distill highly technical concepts into clear, engaging content for various audiences, with a focus on demonstrating the competitive edge of Polkadot’s technology compared to other blockchain ecosystems. 📍Report directly to the VP of Operations and play a key communication leadership role across departments, overseeing all day-to-day communications operations – from shaping our external presence across various channels and communities to overseeing internal comms initiatives like All Hands, the company handbook, and our internal forum. 📍Own and elevate our technical documentation standards across public-facing and internal content. You’ll work with engineers and product teams to ensure clarity, accessibility, and consistency, while also training contributors on best practices for technical writing and documentation hygiene. 📍Lead and craft communications strategies for new product launches, clearly articulating complex technical messages tailored to diverse audiences – developers, ecosystem stakeholders, media, investors. 📍Take ownership of all communication channels for Parity – from social media (X/Twitter, LinkedIn) to community platforms (Telegram, Discord) and our website. Essentially, you will be the voice of Parity across these channels​, driving consistent, authentic engagement and building Parity brand. 📍Develop a messaging framework that consistently underscores how Parity’s innovations in Polkadot technology effectively address industry challenges compared to competing protocols.

About you

📍You have 7+ years of leadership and management experience in communications or PR roles and a proven track record of successfully managing communication programs for developer-first brands or open-source projects. You have a strong focus on tech or developer-facing products and a deep understanding of developer communities and what truly engages them. 📍Strong understanding of software development and engineering culture. You don’t need to code, but you might have a computer science background or past dev experience. At a minimum, you’re comfortable talking about APIs and algorithms with engineers and then explaining those concepts to a non-technical audience. (If you’ve run communications for a blockchain project or developer platform, you know exactly what we mean.) 📍Deep familiarity with decentralized communities and the Web3 ethos. You know that blockchain and open source communities thrive on transparency and dialogue.

The crypto industry is evolving rapidly, offering new opportunities in blockchain, web3, and remote crypto roles — don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
