The team

The Institutional Sales team is responsible for building relationships with the leading institutional investors in crypto. This runs the gamut from crypto-native funds through the largest players in traditional finance. Our team makes sure prospective clients understand the breadth of Kraken’s institutional offerings, which include spot, futures, custody, staking, and credit. We are hiring a new team member to focus on supporting the IRS team members across the full sales cycle: prospecting, creating and managing sales collateral, initiating dialogue with certain clients, maintaining and nurturing relationships throughout the sales process and working hand-in-hand with the sales team to onboard new clients and help them achieve their goals with Kraken.

We are seeking a highly ambitious, proactive person that will help the team build meaningful and lucrative relationships with our clients.  You will be a part of a segment or product sales team looking after the distribution of Kraken’s products and services.  Kraken has a highly liquid exchange, sophisticated and reliable APIs, a qualified custody offering as well as a first-in-class staking platform.  You will learn how to develop a pipeline through hands-on prospecting, as well as how to progress clients through the sales funnel under the mentorship of a senior salesperson.  You will also be exposed to the full range of crypto products available to institutional clients, along with the development of new products for our clients.

This is an individual contributor role that reports to a sales manager who values in-the-moment coaching, weekly one on ones as well as autonomy to allow you to own your success. This is also a brilliant opportunity for an individual who is looking to enter the sales profession, and also wants to shape the future of the crypto industry for our institutional clients. 

This role is based in London.
