The Team

Kraken's Global Finance team is the operational backbone of one of the world's most trusted and longest-standing crypto exchanges. The team spans accounting, FP&A, treasury, tax, and finance operations across multiple regulated entities and 70+ countries, managing the financial infrastructure that underpins everything from daily close to regulatory reporting to crypto-native asset reconciliation.

As financial complexity grows with Kraken's global footprint, this role architectures and provides hands-on building to scale growth. Finance operations at a globally regulated crypto exchange managing close cycles, reconciliations, reporting, treasury monitoring, and controls validation all generate substantial manual effort tied to critical financial and regulatory obligations. Errors carry audit, SOX, security ,and regulatory consequences.

• Evaluate how financial work currently flows across the organization, including close, reconciliations, treasury, reporting, controls validation, and audit preparation.

• Identify capability gaps, manual bottlenecks, and integration failure points across systems including NetSuite, BlackLine, Kyriba, Fireblocks, and Lukka.

• Benchmark current operations against best-in-class practices and emerging AI capabilities to build the Finance automation roadmap, prioritized by operational leverage and regulatory risk.

• Work directly with
