Become a Krakenite and build the future of crypto!
Given our rapid growth, we are looking for a proactive Product Manager to join Kraken’s Financial Systems product group. You’ll play a critical role in shaping and scaling the systems that underpin Kraken’s accounting, treasury, and financial operations, while acting as a strong bridge between engineering, finance, treasury, and the broader product organisation.
Your product area has not previously operated within a fully established product structure. As such, there is a unique opportunity to shape and define how product management operates across Kraken’s core financial systems, setting clear ownership, vision, and ways of working.
You’ll be working closely with the teams that own Kraken’s accounting, treasury, and financial control platforms, as well as partnering with product owners across the organisation whose products and services interact with Finance and Treasury. These systems are foundational to the business, supporting accurate financial reporting, liquidity management, regulatory requirements, and day-to-day operational decision-making across crypto-native products, tokenized equities, and traditional financial instruments. You will report into the Senior Product Manager of this domain, operating at the intersection of highly technical systems, complex financial workflows, and cross-product dependencies.
Be the product manager for Kraken’s Financial Systems, covering accounting, treasury, and related financial platforms.
Work closely with your engineering squads to establish a strong product culture and clear ownership within a historically project-driven domain.
Partner deeply with Finance, Treasury, Accounting, Risk, and Compliance stakeholders to understand their needs and translate them into scalable, reliable system capabilities.
Collaborate with product owners across the organisation whose teams integrate with or depend on financial and treasury systems, ensuring alignment, clear interfaces, and shared priorities.
Collaborate closely with developers to ensure complex financial and technical challenges are solved in ways that ensure accuracy, auditability, scalability, and resilience.
Drive the development process end-to-end, ensuring products are delivered on time and meet Kraken’s quality, reliability, and control standards.
Participate in strengthening the overall product group through close collaboration with your globally distributed team of fellow product managers.
Prior experience in product management or technical product management.
Experience working on complex internal systems, platforms, or enterprise software, ideally within financial services or trading environments.
Deep understanding of financial instruments and markets, including crypto assets, tokenized equities, derivatives, securities, and their associated lifecycle events.
Strong knowledge of payment processes and methods, including fiat and crypto rails, settlement, clearing, and reconciliation concepts.
A background that enables you to engage confidently in discussions around system design, integrations, data models, and trade-offs impacting reliability and performance.
Ability to bridge highly technical system design with financial, accounting, and treasury requirements.
Experience with accounting systems, treasury management systems, or financial data platforms.
Familiarity with financial controls, audits, or regulatory reporting requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
Experience coordinating across multiple product teams with shared platform dependencies.
Experience integrating systems across trading, payments, custody, or securities platforms.
Experience working in a fast-paced start-up or scale-up environment.
