Regulators are writing the rules for AI and Digital Assets in real time. The conversation between technologists, investors, and regulators is the primary story in global financial markets. The people shaping that conversation are our clients.
Institutions that dismissed crypto four years ago are now filing for ETFs. Founders who built during the bear market are back at the table, and the global policy community is paying closer attention than it ever has.
The conversation happening right now between technologists, investors, and regulators is not a background trend. It is the primary story in global financial markets. And the people shaping that conversation are The Digital Future's clients. This is where you would be working.
You will report directly to Michelle O'Connor, Founder. You will contribute to communications strategy for companies navigating the most consequential regulatory and market dynamics in financial technology. You will support the positioning of executives who speak at Davos, testify before regulators, and keynote the industry's most-watched conferences.
Support communications across op-eds, conference talks, podcast appearances, LinkedIn, and media interviews. Research, draft, edit, and refine at a standard that reflects the caliber of the executives you are supporting.
Track press coverage, regulatory developments, funding announcements, and policy activity. Prepare short, sharp briefings. You are not just clipping headlines. You are reading the landscape.
Support positioning frameworks and communications strategy. Research how competitors tell their story, where the gaps are, and what angles are gaining traction in media and policy circles.
Maintain media lists, track journalist relationships, and identify press opportunities. Prepare backgrounders, talking points, and Q&A documents ahead of interviews and announcements.
Support communications preparation for Digital Future House events from Consensus to Paris Blockchain Week to DAS. Prepare speaker briefings, participant communications, and post-event coverage.
Keep the communications pipeline organized across channels. Support editorial calendars, track content in progress, and ensure nothing falls through. Good operational instincts are a communications skill.

The firm operates through the Digital Future Studio model: founder-led strategy, specialist execution deployed on demand. We ramped from launch to a full client slate in months, and our pipeline continues to grow across protocols, exchanges, compliance infrastructure companies, and AI-native fintech platforms.
You write clearly and you know the difference between a sentence that communicates and one that just occupies space. You are genuinely curious about technology, regulation, and the intersection of both. You can read a policy document, a funding announcement, and a media story and synthesize what each of them means in the same briefing.
You are organized. You ask good questions. You can operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments without needing to be managed through each step.
