About The Opportunity

We are seeking an exceptional, entrepreneurial Head of Communications for APAC. This person is a senior leader who will own and drive our regional communications strategy and execution while playing a pivotal role in global and regional PR initiatives. This is a high-impact role for someone who combines deep regional media relationships with an interest in and passion for the digital asset space.

We're looking for a builder: someone who's comfortable operating with autonomy, thrives in fast-moving environments, and knows how to convert communications strategy into measurable results.

Candidates based in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia (Sydney/Melbourne preferred) are encouraged to apply. We operate with regional flexibility and a results-first culture. We care about impact, not where you sit.

Lead the development and execution of OKX's APAC communications strategy — setting direction, driving alignment, and delivering results across the region.
Serve as the senior communications voice for APAC, partnering closely with marketing, product, legal, compliance, and local market leads.
Build and lead a high-performing communications function, including managing PR agency relationships across the region.
Leverage your deep network of media contacts across Australia, Singapore, and broader APAC — including tier-one business, broadcast, financial, and crypto media — to drive high-impact coverage.
Cultivate and own relationships with editors, journalists, and influential industry voices across key APAC markets.
Place compelling stories in top-tier general media and leading crypto publications, driving consistent coverage volume and quality.
Act as an integral member of the global comms/PR team, contributing to worldwide initiatives and helping amplify global campaigns across APAC.
Activate PR opportunities through OKX's global partnerships, including McLaren F1 Team and Manchester City Football Club, generating visibility across media and potential users.
Write and oversee PR plans, press materials, executive messaging, and content for key announcements and initiatives.
Ensure brand consistency and messaging discipline across all regional communications efforts.
Track, report on, and actively influence media coverage to align with business objectives.

Superior stakeholder management and presentation skills.
Established media connections across APAC relationships across business, broadcast, financial, and crypto media.
Proven track record running regional and global PR campaigns that generate significant, high-quality media coverage.
Experience with investment and financial communications.
An entrepreneurial mindset, you set ambitious targets, hold yourself accountable, and know how to get results in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
Team management experience and the ability to lead, mentor, and inspire.
Bachelor's degree in Communications, Marketing, Journalism, or a related field.
Fluent in English; proficiency in other languages is an advantage.
