Company mission
To accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrency so that you and the rest of the world can achieve financial freedom and inclusion.
Role
Who you are
- Interest and alignment in Kraken’s mission to accelerate the global adoption of crypto so that everyone can achieve true financial freedom and inclusion
- 6+ years experience working on funding related products, including 4+ years experience leading high performing product teams
- Demonstrated experience delivering end-to-end, client-facing funding solutions (ideally, both fiat funding and crypto)
- Adept at qualitative and quantitative analysis, knowing when to favor anecdote over data (and vice versa)
- Mastery at stakeholder management and conflict resolution, comfortable interacting with diverse personalities and skills
- Macro-to-micro versatility: strategic, big picture mindset coupled with a keen attention to detail and ability to dive deep and understand micro interactions
- Outstanding organizational and communication skills and the ability to balance competing/contradictory priorities
- Exceptional communication and presentation skills
What the job involves
- Manage a high performing team of Product Managers within Funding, deploying a diverse set of people management techniques to achieve savage levels of accountability while building a culture of openness, collaboration, sticktoitiveness, and career growth
- Champion a culture of outcomes (over activity), where we default to proving the value of our work either quantitatively or qualitatively (over an assumption of value)
- Evangelize the asymmetric benefits of experimentation, creating an environment bordering on religion where we take calculated risks on two-way door decisions, knowing that we will learn a lot of lessons on what doesn’t work
- Create and communicate the overall product strategy, roadmap, and business plan for Funding, ensuring that stakeholders across the company are aligned with the direction and up to date on progress
- Build a high trust culture with the Funding Engineering and Design teams, creating a symbiotic relationship where everything we do is positive sum for one another and our clients
- Collaborate proactively with cross-functional stakeholders (Product, Support, Operations, etc.) to empower our team’s success as well as other departments’ success
- Establish goals, metrics, and KPIs so that you can thoroughly understand the performance of our products and team over time
- Implement value-added process improvements within and outside the team without letting the process become The Thing
Our take
Kraken is the world’s largest global bitcoin exchange in euro volume and liquidity. Kraken’s clients also trade USD, CAD, ETH, XRP, LTC and other digital currencies, on a platform consistently rated the best and most secure bitcoin exchange by independent news media.
Kraken was the first bitcoin exchange to have its market data displayed on the Bloomberg Terminal, the first to pass a cryptographically verifiable proof-of-reserves audit, and one of the first exchanges to offer leveraged bitcoin margin trading.
Kraken are one of the top 3 bitcoin exchanges by volume, behind Coinbase and bit-x with an 18% market share. While this is a competitive space to operate in - the volume of crypto being exchanged every day is very high, so there's space for multiple winners.
Kraken have made a number of acquisitions and have strengthened its world-leading position with the launch of new products, features and apps and a 24/7 multi-lingual support line. The company will continue to provide clients with easier and more versatile ways to participate in the crypto ecosystem.
