The team

Join our growing corporate legal team of more than 9 attorneys and paraprofessionals working on matters such as corporate governance, board management, international corporate structuring, product formation and strategy, securities compliance and debt and equity financings to further Kraken’s mission.

    • Contribute to a growing corporate legal team that is building out org structure, playbooks, and processes
    • Review and collaborate with compliance professionals on AML, KYC/UBO compliance, and other regulatory aspects
    • Provide support for corporate development activities, including mergers and acquisitions and strategic corporate partnership
    • Provide creative, innovative, and effective legal solutions for business stakeholders

Skills you should HODL

    • 8+ years of relevant experience in corporate governance, to include a blend of in-house and law firm, plus relevant experience in a regulated industry/context with substantial exposure to or experience in a high growth technology company
    • JD from a well regarded law school and membership (in good standing) in a US state bar
    • Interest in the crypto industry / what our company is offering to the world and why

    • Honed executive communication skills
    • Excellent business judgment, analytic rigor, and legal pragmatism
    • Mindset that is team-oriented, plus proactive and entrepreneurial: an opportunity-making person who uses the law to increase the company’s optionality, not decrease it
