Our mission at Electric Coin Co. is to empower economic freedom, and to that end, we created and launched the Zcash digital currency in 2016. Today — along with other independent teams and developers — we continue to support the Zcash community through product development, awareness and adoption, and cutting-edge research initiatives.

We engage in a variety of media and social media channels to communicate with a wide audience, educate, maintain transparency, and broadcast our message to the world. To drive these initiatives, we are seeking a Communications and Community Manager who will help write and develop a steady stream of content, plus manage ECC’s social media presence with the goal of fostering a thriving online community.

The Communications and Community Manager will report to the Head of Growth Marketing and work closely with our Digital Marketing Lead and outside agencies.

Responsibilities:

• Work with the ECC marketing team to develop and release content that furthers the ECC mission and educates people about Zcash — e.g., videos, case studies, memes, web copy, and shareable assets.
• Stay on top of key industry trends, emerging social channels, and best practices.
• Create and manage an integrated content calendar for social media, blogs, newsletters, and misc. communications.
• Lead ongoing management of all social media in concert with Digital Marketing and other Growth stakeholders.
• Coordinate online events with ecosystem partners, such as Twitter Spaces, and occasionally attend ECC and/or industry events in person.
• Help coordinate ECC media interviews and appearances.
• Lead ongoing management of the ECC blog, including calendar, content gathering, recruiting guest bloggers, and posting content.
• Gather weekly insights about social media/community performance, highlighting top-performing content and low performing content and opportunities.
• Work with departmental leadership to produce a quarterly ECC transparency report.

We have few concrete requirements. We're flexible and looking for the right person, but intend to hire an engaging communicator and storyteller, a skilled editor, and a leader with demonstrated success in building compelling narratives and creative campaigns. This person will also have experience in growing strong social media communities. Crypto-native preferred.

We’re looking for someone who is excited by the following:

• Growing Zcash awareness and adoption.
• Improving the reputation of Zcash and ECC.
• Building community; connecting with new teams and personalities; and identifying standout influencers and stakeholders who are passionate about ECC, Zcash, and privacy.
• Engaging the world with fun, memorable content and campaigns.
• Growing an active social media presence and providing fast response times to relevant posts, inquiries, comments, industry news, etc.
• Highlighting current trends in the crypto and fintech spaces, and presenting ideas on how our team can implement and execute.

We have a strong ethos of professional conduct. This means you need the empathy and emotional intelligence to be a supportive colleague and collaborate well with people of widely different backgrounds, personalities, and skill sets.
