About KAST

KAST is redefining what it means to bank with stablecoins – think Revolut, rebuilt from scratch on Web3. Backed by top-tier VCs, we’ve grown from 0 to 1 million users in under a year. We’re building the next-gen global bank based entirely on stablecoins.

Design is at the heart of everything we do – it’s how we simplify the complex, make money feel easy, and turn crypto skeptics into brand ambassadors.

KAST is redefining stablecoin banking for global citizens, crypto professionals, Web3-native businesses, and high-inflation markets seeking USD-backed banking. We’re building the world’s first truly global money app including crypto cards, local accounts, and global payouts in a premium product with top acceptance rates.

Backed by leading investors and led by the former APAC CEO of Circle, our team brings experience from Circle, Airwallex, Revolut, Wise, Grab, Zoom, AWS, and top OTC desks. Since July 2024, we’ve scaled from zero to nearly a million users, becoming the go-to card for the crypto community.

By building directly on-chain, we offer what traditional financial rails can’t: instant yield, flexible collateralized lending, and enhanced investment products. Our cards bring stablecoins to life: spend at 100M+ merchants, withdraw at ATMs, and enable new ways to access credit.

Our culture is velocity × excellence. We move fast, obsess over product quality, and aim to outpace legacy players. Our ambition is clear: to build the next generation of financial services and make KAST the #1 stablecoin bank globally.

The Role

The Head of Policy & Thought Leadership Communications plays a key role in building and scaling KAST’s long-term credibility and institutional positioning. This is a high-ownership position where you will define narrative architecture, develop institutional-grade materials, and build durable relationships across policy, regulatory, and industry ecosystems.

Your mission is to raise the bar on how KAST is understood by regulators, analysts, institutional stakeholders, and Tier 1 media. You will operate in a fast-moving environment while thinking beyond short-term news cycles. Quality matters. Rigor matters. Strategic clarity is non-negotiable.

This role is for builders who think long-term, understand regulatory nuance, and care deeply about shaping how the industry evolves.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Define and continuously refine KAST’s core narrative pillars across regulation, infrastructure, and emerging market utility
  • Develop institutional-grade assets including quarterly insight reports, regulatory briefs, and research-backed analysis
  • Partner with product, data, and legal teams to surface credible, defensible insights
  • Build and maintain long-term relationships with policy stakeholders, research firms, and industry bodies
  • Engage analysts and thought leaders through structured briefings and background discussions
  • Support Tier 1 journalists with deep background materials and context (distinct from daily media pitching)
  • Track third-party references and maintain progress toward long-term reputation milestones
  • Ensure all institutional-facing materials meet rigorous, compliant standards

What You’ll Bring

  • 8–12+ years in policy communications, financial services, regulatory affairs, or research-driven communications
  • Deep understanding of financial regulation, payments infrastructure, or digital asset frameworks
  • Strong analytical writing ability and comfort working with data
  • Experience engaging institutional or regulatory audiences
  • Long-term strategic mindset and comfort operating beyond quarterly cycles
  • High standards for rigor, nuance, and credibility
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills

Why KAST?

Work at the forefront of crypto, payments, and fintech. At KAST, you’ll have high ownership, zero bureaucracy, and a direct impact on building the world’s first truly global stablecoin-first bank.

Join a no-BS, high-energy team solving complex problems in a fast-paced environment. Every role matters, and your work will shape how people move money, manage digital assets, and experience financial products worldwide.

We offer competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and opportunities to grow as the company scales. Our high-trust culture gives you autonomy, responsibility, and the chance to build something extraordinary from the ground up.
