You're going to fix that.
The opportunity
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.
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.

What you’ll bring
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.
