About the Role

This role is an opportunity to build operating rhythms, reviews, and forums to keep the Pro organization aligned and focused on priorities. You will lead and deliver cross-functional projects critical to Pro's success, support leadership in decision-making, and maintain systems for reporting and business reviews. You will partner with leadership to scope and stand up new initiatives, contribute to high-impact materials, and act as the first line of intake for inbound requests.

Responsibilities

Build operating rhythms, reviews, and forums that keep the Pro org aligned and focused on priorities.
Lead and deliver cross-functional projects that don’t fit neatly into a single team but are critical to Pro’s success.
Support leadership in decision-making by framing issues, tracking KPIs, and surfacing gaps or risks early.
Maintain systems for reporting, business reviews, roadmap coordination, and cross-team initiatives.
Partner with leadership to scope and stand up new initiatives in Spot, Margin, Derivatives, or Infrastructure — from early concept through initial execution.
Contribute to high-impact materials (exec updates, all-hands, strategic memos) that provide clarity and visibility.
Act as the first line of intake for inbound requests, triage them effectively, and ensure accountability for follow-through.
Identify bottlenecks in how we operate and propose improvements that help the team scale more efficiently.
Use business intelligence and data to support PMs and leadership across Pro, cutting through competing priorities and surface the best opportunities.
Partner with Compliance and Legal teams to find ways to improve product experience.

Requirements

5–7 years in BizOps, Product Ops, Strategy, Consulting, or similar high-leverage roles with measurable impact.
Strong project management skills — you can bring structure to ambiguity and drive initiatives from 0 → 1.
Comfortable with data: you can interpret dashboards, KPIs, and financial/operational metrics to drive insight.
Excellent communicator who can adapt across audiences — from execs to cross-functional ICs.
Highly organized, detail-driven, and biased toward follow-through and execution.
Self-starter who doesn’t wait for instructions — you create the roadmap when one doesn’t exist.
Experience collaborating across product, engineering, compliance, legal, finance, and marketing.
Belief in Kraken’s mission to accelerate financial freedom and inclusion through crypto.
