Become a Krakenite and build the future of crypto!
Kraken is entering one of the most acquisitive phases in our history, and we’re seeking a Head of M&A Integrations to design and lead the programs that turn acquisitions into real, sustained value. This is a high-impact, hands-on executive role for someone who has built and scaled integration playbooks inside fast-moving, rapidly growing companies—ideally in fintech or other transformation-driven industries.
In this role, you’ll partner with Corporate Development early in the deal lifecycle to shape the integration thesis, translate value drivers into actionable plans, and lead execution end-to-end. You’ll stay deeply engaged post-close to ensure Kraken fully realizes operational, financial, and strategic synergies across multiple complex acquisitions each year.
If you’re energized by ambiguity, complex integrations, executive alignment, and designing systems that scale, this role sits at the center of one of the most transformational mandates in crypto.
Architect a scalable M&A integration playbook used across 5–10 acquisitions per year.
Define integration frameworks across product, tech, G&A, and value creation workstreams.
Translate deal thesis into operational plans aligned to synergy targets and value drivers.
Lead the full lifecycle of integration—from early diligence through 12–24 months post-close.
Build synergy tracking systems and enforce execution discipline across all functional teams.
Identify additional synergy opportunities post-close and drive them to extraction.
Partner closely with the COO and C-suite stakeholders to establish alignment, clarify priorities, and resolve complex issues.
Serve as the bridge between Corp Dev, Product, Engineering, Finance, Operations and Legal.
Maintain relentless visibility into risk, timeline, interdependencies, and value realization.
Manage a growing integration team.
Structure high-performance operating rhythms across workstreams.
Direct, hands-on leadership of M&A integrations at scale — specifically managing 5–10 integrations per year in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
Proven ability to build integration playbooks, governance models, and synergy frameworks from scratch.
Demonstrated success owning integration across product, engineering, finance, and G&A domains.
Experience working upstream with Corp Dev on deal thesis formation and early diligence.
Ability to operate in the long-tail of integration, staying engaged for months or years to ensure continued synergy extraction.
Exceptional stakeholder management skills, including regular engagement with C-suite leaders.
Experience at a high-growth fintech or tech company strongly preferred (crypto experience a plus but not required).
