The team

Join our growing corporate legal team of more than 13 attorneys and paraprofessionals working on matters such as international corporate structuring, product formation, public company preparedness, and equity financings to further Kraken’s mission.

This role is fully remote within the United States (US). Per the listed requirement for US state bar admission, we will consider US-based applicants.

The opportunity

    • Manage and advise on domestic and international corporate governance, regulatory compliance, international registrations, compliance, and management of subsidiary entities
    • Collaborate closely with business executives and colleagues in the legal, tax, HR, treasury, and finance departments on domestic and international corporate governance, corporate structuring, regulatory compliance, and related securities matters
    • Contribute to a growing corporate legal team that is building out org structure, playbooks, and processes
    • Review and collaborate with compliance professionals on AML, KYC/UBO compliance, and other regulatory aspects
    • Provide support for corporate development activities, including mergers and acquisitions and strategic corporate partnership

Skills you should HODL

    • 5+ years of attorney experience in corporate governance, to include a blend of in-house and law-firm, plus relevant experience in a regulated industry/context
    • JD from a well regarded law school and membership (in good standing) in a US state bar
    • Interest in the crypto industry / what our company is offering to the world and why
    • Strong analytical, writing, and organizational skills
    • Mindset that is team-oriented, plus proactive and entrepreneurial: an opportunity-making person who uses the law to increase the company’s optionality, not decrease it

Nice-to-haves

    • Experience with regulated financial services firms
    • Experience both in house and at a law firm
