The team
The Events team is responsible for shaping Kraken’s global presence, storytelling, and community engagement through executing world-class IRL experiences. This team plays a critical role in building meaningful connections with our global audiences — from institutions and partners to retail traders and policymakers.
The opportunity
Own Kraken’s global events strategy and portfolio: Lead planning and execution for events — collaborating with internal teams across institutional, VIP, listings, regional growth, product, policy, comms, and more
Build a world-class, self-sustaining team: Scale an events organization capable of managing strategy, execution, and measurement end-to-end — through playbooks and repeatable motions through which the team can scale operations
Own global event budgeting and ROI: Manage total program budget, allocate investment by tier, and develop clear ROI frameworks that tie every dollar to business impact
Define levels of participation: Determine the appropriate presence for each event — whether sponsorship, speaking, hosting, attendance, or brand activation — based on data, audience fit, and expected return
Develop a tiered event framework: Create a scalable model that classifies events by strategic importance, spend level, and measurable outcomes to guide long-term planning
Drive proactive planning: Establish a forward-looking 6–12 month event roadmap aligned to Kraken’s marketing calendar, growth objectives, and regional priorities
Integrate measurement and reporting: Design KPIs for each event — from lead generation and influenced revenue to awareness, engagement, and retention metrics
Partner cross-functionally: Collaborate with institutional and VIP sales, product, regional growth, policy, partnerships and other teams to ensure event strategies directly support pipeline growth, client success, and ecosystem influence
Ideate new experiences: Develop fresh approaches to Kraken-produced events such as user conferences and institutional showcases that drive trust and position Kraken as the industry’s most innovative leader
Champion Kraken globally: Represent the brand’s vision and voice through events that embody Kraken’s mission, values, and commitment to excellence
Skills you should HODL
12+ years of experience leading events strategy, experiential marketing, or brand activations — ideally within fintech, crypto, or global tech environments
Proven track record of designing and delivering large-scale events (conferences, summits, community engagements, and client experiences)
Strong strategic and creative leadership — able to translate brand purpose into powerful, measurable experiences
Deep expertise in event operations, including budget management, vendor negotiation, compliance, logistics, and production
Cross-functional collaborator comfortable aligning diverse teams (creative, product, comms, client, and executive leadership) around shared event goals
Analytical mindset with the ability to use performance data and post-event insights to optimize impact and justify investment
Excellent communicator — confident presenting to senior executives, managing agencies, and representing the brand externally
Passion for crypto culture and belief in its power to redefine global finance
Comfortable working in a remote-first, fast-paced, high-accountability environment with global stakeholders
This job is accepting ongoing applications and there is no application deadline.
