The Team

Our Global Sourcing Team is looking for an exceptional Sourcer to join us in Kraken’s meaningful mission of increasing crypto adoption. If you are someone that is passionate about making an impact, inspired by solving challenges and wants to be a part of a company that is changing the world, we'd like to talk with you.

We’re seeking a Sourcer who is motivated, curious and inquisitive. You will be empowered to produce pipelines for many of our critical roles across different departments, in a very fast-paced, data-driven environment. You will advocate our employer brand and build pipelines of exceptional talent to help us reach our business objectives. We're a globally distributed team who are trailblazing new standards whilst hiring the greatest talent on earth.

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

• Crypto Culture and remote work: This role is and will always be fully remote. You will be sourcing the next talent for Kraken and as such it is required that you understand Fintech/crypto and that you are aligned with our globally inclusive culture.
