BUILDING THE FUTURE OF OPEN FINANCE

Payward - the parent company behind Kraken, NinjaTrader, Breakout, xStocks, Payward Services and CF Benchmarks - has spent the last 15 years building one of the most modern and globally accessible financial infrastructure platforms in the industry, built to advance an open, global financial system.

Before you apply, we encourage you to explore our culture page https://www.kraken.com/culture to understand what drives us and how we work.

Founded in 2011, Kraken is one of the world's longest-standing crypto platforms, trusted by over 10 million individuals and institutions across the globe. It offers spot trading, margin, futures, staking, and OTC services, with products built for both individual investors and institutional clients.

THE OPPORTUNITY

- Build and execute the strategy to acquire high-net-worth individual (HNWI) traders, including winning them from competing platforms

- Partner closely with the VIP team to shape how high-value traders are sourced, onboarded, and activated

- Mobilize performance marketing, organic, creative design, and other internal teams to drive margin growth, as a senior individual contributor without direct reports

- Define positioning, messaging, and offers for margin trading that resonate with sophisticated, high-volume traders

- Set growth targets and own the funnel from lead to funded account to active margin trader

- Run fast experiments across channels, programs, and incentives, and scale what works

- Bring trader insights back to Product to shape the margin roadmap

- Experience winning customers away from competitors and converting them into long-term, high-value users

- Ability to lead cross-functional teams without formal authority and drive measurable outcomes

- Strong grasp of leveraged and margin trading, and of how high-volume traders make decisions

- Data-driven approach: owns funnel metrics, revenue impact, and ROI on acquisition spend

- High agency and scrappiness: takes full ownership, moves fast, and delivers without waiting for ideal conditions

- Clear communicator who builds alignment across marketing, VIP, product, and leadership

NICE TO HAVES

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
