Job Description

  • Own the communications strategy across prime brokerage, treasury management and capital markets related products and partners – setting the narrative, managing the calendar, and driving consistent positioning across these product lines

  • Build and own Ripple's thought leadership program in corporate treasury and capital markets – placing executive bylines, managing high profile speaking opportunities for senior spokespeople, and establishing Ripple as the authoritative voice on the convergence of traditional finance and digital assets
  • Develop core messaging architecture that cuts across these product lines in service of the broader company mission and vision, clearly articulating Ripple's differentiation to corporates, asset managers, prime brokerage clients, and financial press
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with financial and institutional media across Bloomberg, Reuters, FT, WSJ, and other key capital markets and crypto trade press
  • Lead rapid-response and issues communications, ensuring Ripple's position on market events and regulatory developments is fast, accurate, and consistent

  • Consistent track record placing stories at top-tier financial media and managing sophisticated, multi-product communications programs
  • Experience preparing and managing C-suite spokespeople across media and speaking engagements
  • Deep understanding of capital markets – prime brokerage, fixed income, FX, derivatives, and/or treasury – and how to communicate them to sophisticated audiences
  • Strong existing relationships with financial and crypto press; credibility in both TradFi and digital asset circles
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; sharp judgment and the ability to adapt quickly without losing precision
  • A self-starter AND great teammate – someone who wants to push boundaries, try new ideas, shake up the classic comms playbook, and have fun doing it. We don't take ourselves too seriously – you shouldn't either!
