About the Role

Bybit is looking for a Head of Social Media who is equal parts creative visionary and operational leader. This is not a "post and pray" role — you will own the global social strategy for one of the world's top crypto exchanges, lead a distributed team across regions, and be the connective tissue between brand, product, community, and culture.
You will inherit a team that is growing fast, working with external agencies, and navigating the complexity of a global rebrand (Brand 6.0). You'll need to bring structure without killing creativity, and bring creativity without losing accountability.

What You'll Own

Strategy & Narrative

  • Define and execute Bybit's global social media strategy across X (Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and emerging platforms
  • Translate complex crypto and fintech concepts into compelling, platform-native content that resonates with traders, retail users, and the broader Web3 community
  • Build and maintain Bybit's social voice — bold, credible, and culturally relevant — in alignment with Brand 6.0 guidelines
  • Develop channel/product-specific strategies that balance global consistency with regional relevance

Team Leadership & Operations

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a global social media team (currently ~4–6 members) plus manage relationships with production and influencer agencies and other departments
  • Establish clear workflows, content brief processes, and approval protocols to eliminate last-minute requests and ensure quality at scale
  • Build and own the content calendar, ensuring alignment with campaigns, product launches, market moments, and executive communications
  • Implement SOPs for content creation, agency briefing, influencer collaboration, and crisis response

Campaign & Content Execution

  • Partner with the Creative team on campaign assets, ensuring briefs are detailed, timely, and actionable
  • Oversee influencer strategy — from shortlisting and legal clearance to performance tracking
  • Manage the production agency relationship for high-quality video content the internal team cannot produce at speed

Data, OKRs & Reporting

  • Own social media OKRs: follower growth, organic engagement, share of voice, sentiment, and new user acquisition via social
  • Use Sprinklr and native platform analytics to run weekly performance reviews and quarterly post-mortems
  • Present social performance to leadership in biweekly reviews; flag risks and opportunities proactively
  • Leverage AI tools for trend harvesting, content optimization, and competitive analysis

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with BU marketing teams (WBU, GBU, PBU) to support product-specific social moments without duplicating effort
  • Align with the Strategy Office on global go-to-market strategy and upper-funnel performance
  • Coordinate with Legal and Compliance on influencer clearances, regulatory messaging, and market-specific restrictions

What We're Looking For

Must-Have

  • 4–8 years of social media experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership role managing a team
  • Marketing background — you think in campaigns, narratives, and audience journeys, not just posts
  • Proven track record of growing social accounts at scale for a global brand (1M+ followers preferred)
  • Strong project management skills — you can run multiple workstreams, manage agencies, and hit deadlines without chaos
  • Experience with Sprinklr or equivalent enterprise social media management platforms
  • AI-native mindset — you actively use AI tools in your workflow for content, research, and analysis
  • Exceptional written and spoken English; additional languages (Arabic, Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese) are a strong plus

Nice-to-Have

  • Experience managing influencer programs end-to-end, including legal and compliance workflows
  • Background working with executive communications — writing for or managing the social presence of C-suite spokespeople
  • Experience with rebranding or brand evolution at a global company
  • Familiarity with OAP/project management systems and cross-functional campaign coordination
  • Deep knowledge of crypto, Web3, or fintech — you can write about DeFi, trading products, and market events without needing a translator (optional)

What Makes This Role Unique

  • You'll be shaping the social voice of a top-3 global crypto exchange during a pivotal rebranding moment
  • Direct access to and collaboration with the executive leadership
  • A team that is genuinely invested in getting better — we're building SOPs, improving briefs, and upgrading our tooling (new OAP system launching mid-August)
  • Real budget, real agencies, real campaigns — this is not a one-person show
  • A culture that values ownership, speed, and creative courage

What We Don't Want

  • Someone who needs to be told what to post
  • Someone who can't write a content brief or manage an agency
  • Someone who treats social as a support function rather than a growth engine
  • Someone who can't handle ambiguity or a fast-moving environment

Why Join Us
At Bybit, we are committed to fostering a supportive and enriching work environment. 
Our benefits include:
- Study Growth Fund: We support your professional development and continuous learning.
- Internal Events: Participate in regular team-building activities, workshops, and events designed to promote collaboration and innovation.

Tokenized Fund Collateral Could Be A Game Changer For Franklin Templeton Stock

Tokenized Fund Collateral Could Be A Game Changer For Franklin Templeton Stock

Franklin Templeton has expanded its digital asset strategy through a new partnership with the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, allowing the use of tokenized fund collateral. This collaboration integrates Franklin Templeton’s Benji tokenized money market fund directly into an active trading venue, marking a shift from simple wallet listings to operational on-chain collateral management. While the firm currently manages approximately $3.2 billion in digital asset AUM, this initiative serves as a test for the scalability of digital rails in lowering distribution costs. The move is viewed as a strategic experiment to determine if tokenized assets can effectively serve as margin collateral within high-frequency trading environments. Despite the innovation, analysts suggest the immediate impact on Franklin Templeton’s earnings remains limited compared to broader pressures on fees and net flows. Success hinges on the firm's ability to maintain rigorous risk control and custody standards via ByCustody while scaling its tokenized product suite. Ultimately, the initiative highlights the ongoing institutional effort to bridge traditional financial products with decentralized trading infrastructure.

Next Shiba Inu Search Heats Up as Franklin Templeton Puts $686M On-Chain and Pepeto Goes Live

Franklin Templeton has expanded its institutional crypto integration by enabling $686 million in tokenized money market fund shares to be used as trading collateral on the Bybit exchange. This initiative, launched on September 28, allows investors to pledge tokenized fund shares via ByCustody while continuing to earn yield on their underlying assets. By integrating these shares into major exchanges like Bybit, Binance, and OKX, the $1.83 trillion asset manager is bridging traditional finance with digital asset liquidity. This development signifies a shift where institutional capital seeks to maintain core holdings while gaining exposure to crypto markets without liquidating positions. While the article contrasts this institutional progress with speculative retail tokens, the core event highlights the growing utility of tokenized U.S. Treasury-backed funds in decentralized finance. The ability to use regulated, yield-bearing assets as collateral on centralized exchanges marks a maturing phase for the RWA sector. This trend underscores how traditional financial giants are increasingly treating blockchain rails as standard infrastructure for capital efficiency.

Crypto-friendly institution Franklin Templeton brings its tokenized collateral service to Bybit

Franklin Templeton has expanded its off-exchange collateral program to the Bybit exchange, enabling users to utilize shares of its tokenized money market fund as collateral for crypto trading. This integration allows investors to borrow stablecoins like USDT and USDC while continuing to earn yield on their underlying assets, which currently represent approximately $686 million in net assets. The mechanism relies on ByCustody to hold the assets off-exchange, while the value is mirrored within the Bybit trading environment to unlock liquidity without requiring asset movement. This development marks another milestone in Franklin Templeton's strategy to integrate its Benji-issued tokenized funds across major crypto exchanges, following similar partnerships with Binance and OKX. By allowing investors to optimize collateral usage while maintaining yield exposure, the firm aims to bridge traditional asset management with the crypto ecosystem. This trend reflects a broader industry shift toward using regulated, tokenized money market funds as high-quality collateral for derivatives and spot trading. The initiative highlights the growing utility of blockchain-integrated record-keeping platforms in professionalizing crypto market infrastructure.
