Proof of work
The team
Our Global Sourcing Team is looking for an exceptional Sourcer to join us in Kraken’s meaningful mission of increasing crypto adoption. This role will require extreme ability to navigate complex situations, an uncompromising high bar for performance and extreme ownership in how you approach your work. You’ll operate in a fully remote, high agency, async-native culture where speed, precision and focus aren’t optional, - they are the baseline. We are looking for someone to join this team on a permanent contract or potentially on a temporary 12-month contract.
Main differentiators between this role and any other Sourcer role on the market:
Managing uncertainty: Kraken is at the forefront of the innovation spectrum. As such, you can expect to tackle roles that you have never heard about, with no prior experience, data or track record
Pace: Crypto never sleeps! You will be expected to flex your sourcing skills across Tech, Non-tech and anything in between with a very quick turnaround
Builder mentality: We are not looking for a plain executioner but someone that will contribute to building something new, awesome and cutting edge
Team work: Our sourcing team’s track record is unprecedented - we provide velocity and quality to our pipelines through hard work, but always working as a team. We have no room for solo players or internal competition
In return, we offer the chance to leave a mark in one of the most innovative companies in the space as well as the opportunity to join a world-class and high-performance team. If you believe you have what it takes, continue reading below.
