Why We’re Different Kraken is a mission-focused company rooted in crypto values. As a Krakenite, you’ll join us on our mission to accelerate the global adoption of crypto, so that everyone can achieve financial freedom and inclusion. For over a decade, Kraken’s focus on our mission and crypto ethos has attracted many of the most talented crypto experts in the world. Role Overview We’re seeking a chronically online, crypto-fluent leader to shape Kraken’s presence across the social and content landscape. You’ll shape how Kraken communicates its mission, shows up for the community, and builds cultural relevance in a fast-moving, highly competitive space. Social is where our brand ethos lives – educating, empowering, and onboarding the next wave of crypto believers. We need someone who moves fast but thinks long-term: a strategic builder who thrives under pressure, leads with conviction, and knows when to go from zero to viral. Leadership will launch products that make noise, create ecosystem storytelling that stands out, and translate crypto’s complexity into content people actually want to share. Responsibilities Build and evolve a social and content strategy that drives engagement, traffic, and measurable product conversion across a diverse portfolio of Kraken products and sub-brands. Lead multiple workstreams across products and sub-brands: aligning with stakeholders, removing blockers, and driving ideas from concept to launch with smart measurement and constant iteration. Shape and protect Kraken’s narrative across all platforms, including a unified social playbook that defines tone of voice, brand behavior, and content standards worldwide. Identify and scale into emerging channels, formats, and cultural touchpoints that keep Kraken ahead of the curve. Lead, mentor, and empower a high-performing team of social media and community managers across global regions and time zones. Drive operational excellence – onboarding new tools, workflows, and technology to maximize team speed, creativity, and agility. Qualifications 10+ years leading social and content strategy in fast-moving, highly competitive environments. Proven success driving social strategy across complex product ecosystems – crypto experience is a major plus. Experience building and leading social teams from the ground up, including hiring, structure, workflows, and culture. Deep knowledge of modern social publishing tools, listening and analytics platforms, and AI-driven content workflows. Confident leading globally distributed teams and collaborating across regions, functions, and time zones. Crypto never sleeps. Be willing to roll up sleeves and jump in, solve problems, and protect the brand when it matters most.
