About this role

Join Kraken as a Lead, M&A Integrations to drive integration programs across multiple acquisitions, managing the full integration lifecycle in a high-growth fintech environment.

Description

Building the Future of Open Finance

Payward - the parent company behind Kraken, NinjaTrader, Breakout, xStocks, Payward Services and CF Benchmarks - has spent the last 15 years building one of the most modern and globally accessible financial infrastructure platforms in the industry, built to advance an open, global financial system. Before you apply, we encourage you to explore our [culture page](https://www.kraken.com/culture) to understand what drives us and how we work.

The Team

Founded in 2011, Kraken is one of the world's longest-standing crypto platforms, trusted by over 10 million individuals and institutions across the globe. It offers spot trading, margin, futures, staking, and OTC services, with products built for both individual investors and institutional clients. Kraken is entering one of the most acquisitive phases in our history, and we're building the deal team to match.
Responsibilities

The Opportunity

  • Execute integration programs across multiple acquisitions per year using Kraken's M&A Integration playbook
  • Lead the full integration lifecycle—from early diligence through 12–24 months post-close
  • Drive workstream execution across product engineering, G&A, and value creation tracks
  • Translate deal thesis into detailed operational plans aligned to synergy targets and milestones
  • Maintain synergy tracking systems and hold functional teams accountable to execution timelines
  • Identify and own extraction of emerging synergy opportunities post-close
  • Partner with executive stakeholders across Corp Dev, Product, Engineering, Finance, Operations, Compliance, and Legal
  • Maintain visibility into risk, timeline, interdependencies, and value realization across active integrations
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of integration frameworks, templates, and operating rhythm
Requirements

What You Bring

  • Hands-on experience driving M&A integrations at a fast-paced, high-growth company — managing multiple workstreams simultaneously
  • Fluency in integration methods, synergy frameworks, and governance models; experience contributing to or improving them is a plus
  • Demonstrated ability to coordinate and manage complex projects across product, engineering, finance, and G&A workstreams
  • Proven ability to drive stakeholder engagement throughout complex and/or lengthy integrations (6-18 months post-close) to ensure deal value realization
  • Proven ability to communicate clearly and directly across all levels, and a track record of keeping large cross-functional teams aligned and moving
  • Hands-on exposure to IT/systems integration (identity, endpoint management, ERP/finance platforms, collaboration tools) and HR/people integration (employment transitions, compensation harmonization, HRIS migration)
  • Experience with Corporate Development / M&A processes and due diligence is preferred
  • General management and/or startup experience is preferred
  • High-growth fintech or tech background preferred; crypto experience a plus
