Senior Account Manager, Crypto and Digital Assets PR

Genius PR is an earned-media agency for AI, fintech and crypto companies, with teams across the UK, UAE and USA. We're hiring a Senior Account Manager to lead our crypto and digital assets accounts. This role is for someone based in the UK or Europe.

Our clients are seed to Series B exchanges, protocols, stablecoin and payments businesses, tokenisation and real-world asset companies, and digital asset infrastructure providers. They don't need more crypto-trade coverage. They need Bloomberg, Reuters and Fortune to take them seriously.

You'll run four to five retainer clients end to end: the story, the media relations, the client relationship and the results. You report to our Account Director and oversee junior account managers.

What you'll do

• Own four to five crypto and digital assets accounts day to day, from the six-month narrative to the placements that prove it
• Get digital asset companies into mainstream business and finance press: Bloomberg, Reuters, Fortune, CNBC, Forbes and the FT
• Keep the crypto-trade outlets (CoinDesk, The Block, Decrypt, Cointelegraph) working for clients as the base, not the ceiling
• Find the angle a business editor will take: the real-world use, the regulation, the institutional money, the customer number
• React fast when a market move, a hack or a regulatory decision opens a window for a client to comment
• Keep every claim accurate and compliant: no price talk, no promises of returns, and a careful eye on MiCA, FCA and US rules
• Agree the results with each client in week one and report them monthly in numbers, not just a list of links
• Coach and review the work of junior account managers on your accounts

You have

• At least three years at a PR agency, with an agency role in the last three years
• Current or recent experience as an Account Manager or Senior Account Manager at a fintech, crypto or tech PR agency
• Several client accounts run at the same time
• Earned placements you pitched yourself in US or UK business, finance or tech press, as well as crypto outlets (not sponsored, contributor or wire syndication)
• A working understanding of how digital asset regulation shapes what a client can say in public
• Experience managing or mentoring junior staff
• You live and work in the UK or Europe

Nice to have: AI or consumer tech clients alongside crypto, and experience with token launches, exchange listings or crisis work after a security incident.

Terms

Full-time, remote, contractor basis, with performance bonuses. You'll work broadly UK hours with a few hours' overlap into US East Coast afternoons.

How we hire

A 20-minute intro call, a paid practical task (a six-month story plan for an anonymised crypto or digital assets client, plus the numbers you'd report), then a call with our founder.

To apply

Send three earned placements you pitched yourself, with links, at least one of them outside crypto-trade press, and one sentence on the hardest story you've landed.
