The performance marketing team owns the end-to-end creative and media strategy and execution of user acquisition campaigns globally in support of Kraken’s growth objectives.

Reporting to the Sr Director, Paid Marketing, we are looking for a highly organized, proactive Project Manager to support Kraken’s Performance Marketing team - someone who can bring structure without slowing us down, and elevate the quality of what we ship.

Our team supports all product “pods” at Kraken — including Earn, Margin, Futures, Krak, Equities, and more. That means we’re constantly launching and scaling:

• Evergreen campaigns

• New product launches

• Promotions

• Seasonal initiatives

• Cross-functional growth experiments

We’re a small, fast-moving team operating across multiple products, regions and timelines — and we need someone to bring structure, prioritization, and clarity to everything we’re building.

Project & Pipeline Management

• Own tracking of all ongoing performance creative and campaign initiatives across pods

• Manage timelines across product launches, promos, and evergreen campaigns

• Help prioritize what ships when, based on launch calendars and growth impact

• Ensure we always have a healthy evergreen creative pipeline

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Act as the bridge between Performance Marketing and:

  • Product Marketing Managers (PMMs)

  • Pod leads

  • Regional growth leads

  • Brand & Design teams

• Keep the performance design queue organized and moving

• Ensure briefs are clear, complete, and actionable before entering design

Design & Creative QA

• Serve as a sounding board for performance creatives

• QA assets before launch — flagging:

  • Messaging clarity

  • Visual hierarchy

  • Performance-readiness (hook strength, thumbstop quality, format best practices)

• Provide feedback to sharpen and elevate creative output

• Ideally bring both performance marketing and design intuition

Strategic Organization

• Identify bottlenecks and process gaps

• Help standardize briefing and launch workflows

• Improve visibility across initiatives and campaign status

• Balance short-term launches with long-term creative scaling

• Strong project management experience in a fast-paced marketing or growth team

• Experience working with performance marketing teams (paid social, search, display, etc.)

• Deep understanding of creative production workflows

• Strong design eye and ability to give constructive creative feedback

• Ability to prioritize competing initiatives across multiple stakeholders

• Comfortable working across multiple product verticals simultaneously

• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive

• Strong communicator — able to push back and drive alignment when needed

• Proficiency or strong interest in leveraging AI to optimize project work flows

• Experience in performance marketing, growth, or creative production

• Experience working closely with designers

• Crypto / fintech familiarity is a plus

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and high-growth environments
