The Team

Kraken's Finance team operates at the intersection of crypto-native speed and institutional-grade rigor. As the business scales globally and prepares for the next chapter of its growth, Finance is being held to the same operating standard as Product, Engineering, Technology, and Marketing — a product-driven platform, not a traditional back-office function.

That means designing systems from first principles rather than legacy defaults, maintaining tight integration with product, data, risk, and operations, and delivering real-time visibility and clear ownership. Automation and AI are expected to continuously remove risk from the business, not just support it.

This is a remote-first team distributed across multiple time zones, with a bias for asynchronous communication, high agency, and work that compounds at scale.

The Opportunity

This role owns a coordinated, multi-workstream finance operations transformation — spanning people, process, and automation — with direct accountability for outcomes across the Finance function. This is a hands-on builder role, not a strategic advisory one.

OPERATING MODEL

• Own the ongoing uplift of the Product – Finance operating model, ensuring it delivers real-time visibility, clear ownership, and tight integration between Finance and the business

• Define and maintain the right KPIs and targets for each finance team, and build out the dashboards and reporting infrastructure needed to monitor progress and hold teams accountable

• Partner closely with the CFO on headcount rationalization and org optimization across Finance

AUTOMATION & EFFICIENCY

• Identify and implement automation and efficiency opportunities across TOPS, Payroll, AP, Tax, and other finance workflows — targeting step-change outcomes, not incremental improvement

• Build and own a coordinated automation and AI layer that simplifies work finance-wide — not fragmented point solutions

• Eliminate manual and inefficient work across the full financial operations stack: AP, AR, close, reporting, and controls

TECHNICAL COORDINATION

• Coordinate with internal technical teams — FinSys and Engineering — to prioritize and execute automation and systems work; drive alignment without direct line authority over those teams

• Maintain working knowledge of how money moves through Kraken’s systems — system connectivity, architecture, and data flows — sufficient to identify gaps and work credibly with engineering partners on solutions

EXECUTION

• Execute directly — this leader will get their hands dirty and deliver outcomes with a lean team

• Partner closely with the CFO and cross-functional leaders across systems, data, and operations to drive alignment
  

Skills you should HODL

• Proven track record as a hands-on finance operator who has driven real cost and efficiency outcomes — not a strategist, a builder

• Deep experience across the full financial operations stack: AP, AR, Payroll, TOPS, Tax, close, reporting, and controls

• Demonstrated ability to redesign financial workflows and operating models from first principles in a high-growth environment

• Hands-on experience applying AI tools and automation to financial operations — shipped outcomes, not just awareness; comfortable building coordinated automation across multiple functions, not just point solutions

• Strong track record designing and implementing KPIs, performance targets, and operational dashboards for finance teams

• Proven ability to coordinate with and influence engineering and systems teams to prioritize and execute finance work — without direct line authority

• Experience partnering with senior leaders on org design and headcount decisions in a Finance context

• Strong cross-functional operator in a remote-first, distributed environment — able to influence without authority

• High agency: drives outcomes without perfect conditions, ideal resourcing, or a large team beneath them

Nice to haves

• Experience in fintech, financial services, or crypto — particularly environments with complex money movement

• Prior ERP transformation or financial systems implementation experience

• Familiarity with SOX controls or audit remediation in a Finance context

• Experience managing globally distributed finance teams
