Vexl is an open-source project building a privacy-first way for people to buy and sell bitcoin peer-to-peer without KYC. Our goal is real-world adoption, circular economies, and financial sovereignty. We don’t do hype, vanity metrics, or corporate marketing theatre.

As a Head of Marketing & Communications, you'll be responsible for owning and operating Vexl’s marketing and communications function. The role ensures clarity, prioritization, and execution discipline across narrative, content, public relations, events, and the alignment of community activities with overall adoption and fundraising goals. You’ll work closely with the CEO on strategic direction while maintaining full responsibility for marketing execution and leadership.

No hype. Just clarity, trust, and impact. Are you in?

• Define and enforce quality standards for all public-facing outputs

Leadership, Mentorship & Internal Alignment

• Provide continuous, hands-on mentorship in marketing strategy, storytelling, content, and PR

Public Relations & External Visibility

• Oversee preparation of press materials, messaging frameworks, and spokesperson briefings

Community Support

• Fluent in English (B2+)

• Proven experience working as a senior individual contributor or lead in a lean environment

• Ability to work with cross-functional and distributed teams, including volunteers or community contributors

• Alignment with Bitcoin, privacy, and sovereignty values, or strong motivation to work in this space

• Experience with PR, media outreach, or spokesperson preparation is a plus

• Familiarity with open-source environments, including cooperation with volunteers or community contributors would be an advantage

🤝 Why join Vexl?

• You’ll solve a real problem: helping people buy and sell bitcoin privately, as it was originally intended

• You’ll work directly with people who helped build the Bitcoin hardware wallet space from the early days

• You’ll have real ownership. This role isn’t about pushing campaigns - it’s about shaping how Vexl is understood, talked about, and trusted

• You’ll be exposed to influential voices across the Bitcoin and privacy space, with direct access

• You’ll operate in a small, opinionated team that values clarity, honesty, and impact over hype. That comes with perks (gym, football table, billiards, PlayStation, 3D printer), including fluffy four-legged friends
