Full Job Description
ABOUT BASTION Bastion builds regulated financial infrastructure for modern businesses. Bastion's full stack product suite covers stablecoin issuance, custodial wallet infrastructure, and global asset conversion rails, with the flexibility to deploy individual capabilities or combine them end-to-end. Bastion's regulated foundation underpins a compliance-first approach to risk management, ensuring the integrity and security of all financial activity within its systems. Bastion holds the appropriate licenses for its own operations, but can also act as a service provider, offering compliance and financial operations support under our customers’ licenses. OVERVIEW We are hiring a Brand and Communications Lead to make Bastion known. Today, we have proven product-market fit with marquee enterprise clients, a regulated trust charter, and a platform that institutions are building on — but almost no one outside of our existing network knows it. This role exists to change that. You will be the person who shapes and guides the brand positioning, ensuring consistent messaging and visual alignment across all touch points. You will own earning press coverage, preps executives for panels, navigates conference floors through relationships, and runs targeted campaigns for decision-makers — and you'll do it with a persistent awareness that everything you build needs to eventually connect to pipeline. Fintech or financial services experience is a meaningful advantage here — this is a space where regulatory nuance and institutional credibility are hard to fake, and harder to learn on the fly. While we are prioritizing candidates based in New York City, we are open to candidates remotely in the United States. WORK TO BE DONE Instead of a list of requirements, we want to give you a directional look into the first 30, 90, and 180 days on the job. We are a startup, so the pace is fast and the specific work will change. People who thrive here are finding ways to contribute in their first wee
