Desirable

• The performance marketing team owns the end-to-end creative and media strategy and execution of user acquisition campaigns globally in support of Kraken’s growth objectives
• Reporting to the Sr Director, Paid Marketing, we are looking for a highly organized, proactive Project Manager to support Kraken’s Performance Marketing team - someone who can bring structure without slowing us down, and elevate the quality of what we ship
• Our team supports all product “pods” at Kraken — including Earn, Margin, Futures, Krak, Equities, and more. That means we’re constantly launching and scaling:
• Evergreen campaigns
• New product launches
• Promotions
• Seasonal initiatives
• Cross-functional growth experiments
• We’re a small, fast-moving team operating across multiple products, regions and timelines — and we need someone to bring structure, prioritization, and clarity to everything we’re building
• Project & Pipeline Management
• Own tracking of all ongoing performance creative and campaign initiatives across pods
• Manage timelines across product launches, promos, and evergreen campaigns
• Help prioritize what ships when, based on launch calendars and growth impact
• Ensure we always have a healthy evergreen creative pipeline
• Cross-Functional Coordination
• Act as the bridge between Performance Marketing and:
• Product Marketing Managers (PMMs)
• Pod leads
• Regional growth leads
• Brand & Design teams
• Keep the performance design queue organized and moving
• Ensure briefs are clear, complete, and actionable before entering design
• Design & Creative QA
• Serve as a sounding board for performance creatives
• QA assets before launch — flagging:
• Messaging clarity
• Visual hierarchy
• Performance-readiness (hook strength, thumbstop quality, format best practices)
• Provide feedback to sharpen and elevate creative output
• Ideally bring both performance marketing and design intuition
• Strategic Organization
• Identify bottlenecks and process gaps
• Help standardize briefing and launch workflows
• Improve visibility across initiatives and campaign status
• Balance short-term launches with long-term creative scaling

• Unless a specific application deadline is stated in the job posting, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis
