About Proton 

Join Proton and build a better internet where privacy is the default

Proton was founded in 2014 by scientists from CERN on a simple truth: privacy is a fundamental human right. Since then, we’ve built the world’s largest encrypted email service (Proton Mail) and expanded into Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Pass, and Proton Calendar—tools used by millions globally to protect their freedom, fight censorship, and keep their data safe. In some situations, Proton has literally helped save lives!

We are profitable, independent (no VC control), and selectively hire from the top ~1% of applicants. Our 500+ team members across 50+ countries come from leading organizations and elite academic backgrounds. We move fast, keep hierarchy light, and prioritize impact over optics. If you want to do meaningful work with exceptionally high-caliber people, this is it. Join us and do work you can truly be proud of. Check our open-source projects here!

The Role

You will help shape how Proton shows up in the world, not just as a product, but as a movement. Working closely with key stakeholders, your manager, and the wider Social & Community team, you'll strategize and deploy systems, spaces, and experiences that turn curious users into committed advocates, and committed advocates into a global privacy fandom. This role blends strategic thinking, community execution, culture intuition, program delivery, and organic engagement. You'll help define how Proton builds belonging at scale across a digital community hub, micro-communities, ambassador tiers, events, and real-world touchpoints, owning delivery end-to-end on the programs within your scope.

If you understand that community is not a channel but a force multiplier, and that belonging is built through design, storytelling, and human connection, this is your role.

The Team 

This role is part of the Social & Community team at Proton - a small, high-impact group of 5 people that builds Proton’s brand the way modern cult brands do it: with a human voice, community-first engagement, and sharp, timely creative that people actually want to share. What makes the team special is our relentless ambition: we move fast, take principled stances when it matters, and pair rigorous performance thinking with internet instincts, earning the kind of audience feedback most brands never get (“genius level trolling,” “10/10 Proton marketing team,” “,” “,” “” “”) or getting compared to . If you want to do career-defining work with a team that’s trusted to experiment, backed by a mission people care about, and measured on real impact, you’ll fit right in.
