Is Binance Returning to PH? Exchange Briefly Opens, Then Removes Manila Job Postings

Binance spokesperson replied to a BitPinas inquiry.

Global cryptocurrency exchange Binance recently posted, and subsequently removed, job openings for Manila-based roles on the professional networking platform LinkedIn.

While the job postings were previously visible on both the official Binance careers website and LinkedIn, they are no longer accessible on either platform as of this writing. However, screenshots captured by BitPinas verify their initial publication and active status earlier this week. The screenshots are in this article.

Given the localized responsibilities that were outlined in the job descriptions, such as managing local social channels and community forums, the brief recruitment window pointed to an effort to build local operational and marketing infrastructure.

Binance Spokesperson Comment:

When asked for a comment, a Binance spokesperson did not explicitly confirm or deny the recent Manila job postings, telling BitPinas:

“As a global platform, Binance continues to expand its globally distributed talent pool to better support users across different markets.”

A confirmation on the nature of these roles was necessary because last year, similar job postings appeared on LinkedIn that seemed to be “Manila-based.” Those previous listings, however, turned out to be broader Asia-Pacific roles that dynamically labeled the location as “Philippines” simply because the person viewing the job posting was located in the country.

Binance Manila Job Postings

The recent listings indicated that the exchange was hiring for local marketing and digital advertising positions. Both roles were listed as full-time, remote positions based in the National Capital Region (NCR).

• Regional Marketing Specialist: Before its removal, this role had attracted over 100 applicants on LinkedIn. The position focused on community growth and engagement. Key responsibilities included managing local social channels (such as Telegram, Facebook, and Instagram), orchestrating online and offline events, and handling Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and affiliate networks.
• Ads Implementation Specialist (Social/Google): Also removed, this entry-level role had over 70 applicants. The position supported the execution of paid ad campaigns across major platforms like Meta, TikTok, and X. The specialist’s responsibilities involved monitoring daily campaign performance, uploading ad creatives, and ensuring all campaigns complied with data privacy regulations.

Navigating the Local Landscape

The recruitment follows regulatory actions taken against the exchange in the country. In early 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in coordination with the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), ordered internet service providers to block access to Binance’s website and mobile applications. The commission cited the company’s lack of the requisite licenses to operate a virtual asset exchange and solicit investments from the Filipino public.

In April 2026, Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao alleged that it was Coins.ph CEO Wei Zhou, which was also Binance’s former Chief Financial Officer, who made the effort to block Binance in the Philippines, a statement that the local executive denied.
