Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who moves fast but thinks long-term, thrives under pressure, and knows how to launch new products while creating ecosystem content that cuts through the noise
- This role demands sharp content creation skills, an analytical mindset, and a self-starter attitude
- Receipts. Posts you wrote that broke out, on a brand account or your own or that you manage. We care more about what you've made than where you've worked
- 3+ years in social or content, ideally fintech, crypto, or trading. Exceptional portfolios beat exceptional résumés here
- Speed under pressure. Markets don't wait for approval cycles and neither do you
- Range as a maker. Copy, memes, short-form video, charts, threads. You don't need a design queue to get a post out
- Taste. Knowing when not to post is as valuable as knowing when to
- Comfortable handling high-paced social channels
- Strong writing, editing, and communication skills
- Creative and detail-oriented, with the ability to produce visually appealing content - whether it be briefing the design team, using Figma or being scrappy on CapCut
- We hire based on merit, seeking out people with the right abilities, knowledge, and skills for the job. We encourage you to apply for roles where you don't fully meet the listed requirements, especially if you're passionate or knowledgeable about crypto
What the job involves
- We’re seeking a chronically online, Social Media Lead to drive Kraken Pro social channels. At Kraken, understanding our brand ethos, mission, and the communities we serve is essential and social is at the forefront of that
- Craft scroll-stopping, platform-native content for X, Telegram, and beyond to maximize impact and reach for Kraken Pro
- Win the moment. Spot trends and reactive moments across CT/FinTwit and broader social, then rapidly craft timely, on-brand content
- Be the heartbeat of the community. Actively engage with the Kraken Pro audience. Reply, quote, poll, meme, and foster meaningful conversation
- Run an always-on calendar. Build and maintain a content calendar: create posts, route for approvals, schedule, publish, and monitor performance
- Integrate key updates. Translate product and ecosystem news into clear, compelling narratives
- Measure what matters. Track growth and performance and iterate based on insights and experiments
- Ship responsibly. Partner with Legal/Comms to ensure compliant, accurate, and aligned messaging across regions and platforms
Application process
- Unless a specific application deadline is stated in the job posting, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis
- Please note, applicants are permitted to redact or remove information on their resume that identifies age, date of birth, or dates of attendance at or graduation from an educational institution
- We may ask candidates to complete job-related skills or work-style assessments as part of our hiring process. These assessments evaluate competencies relevant to the role and are applied consistently across candidates for similar positions. Results are considered alongside experience and interviews, and are not the sole basis for any employment decision
Our take
Kraken is one of the world's leading and longest-standing cryptocurrency exchanges, known for its focus on transparency and security. The platform offers trading across a wide range of digital assets and fiat currencies, including USD, EUR, and CAD, and serves millions of users globally. Consistently rated as one of the most trusted and secure exchanges in the industry, Kraken has built a reputation on reliability, users protection, and a commitment to its proof-of-reserves verification that allows clients to independently confirm their holdings.
Kraken allows users to trade and invest in spot and derivatives markets, as well as participate in staking, custody, and tokenized asset products. It was also among the first exchanges to undergo a cryptographically verifiable proof-of-reserves audit and continues to lead with innovations such as tokenized US stocks ("xStocks") for non-US customers and expanded institutional services. Alongside this, the company's offerings are designed to make digital finance more accessible and complaint while supporting traders, investors, and enterprises navigating the fast-evolving crypto landscape.
On top of this success, Kraken reported a standout performance in the third quarter of 2025 - doubling its revenue year-on-year to $648M and boosting quarterly profit margins to nearly 28%. Trading volumes climbed to $562B, while assets on the platform rose to $59B, emphasizing the exchange's growth and strong customer confidence. Having expanded its product suite, strengthened its institutional reach, and invested in governance and compliance, Kraken is now in a position for continued expansion (and, potentially, a future public listing), as one of the most resilient and respected names in the global crypto market.
