About the Role

We're hiring a Head of M&A Integrations to join our team at Kraken, a leading company in the crypto space.

In this high-impact role, you will design and lead integration programs that turn acquisitions into real, sustained value. This is a unique opportunity for someone with extensive experience in M&A integrations to shape the future of our organization.

What You'll Do

• Architect a scalable M&A integration playbook used across 5–10 acquisitions per year.
• Define integration frameworks across product, tech, G&A, and value creation workstreams.
• Translate deal thesis into operational plans aligned to synergy targets and value drivers.
• Lead the full lifecycle of integration—from early diligence through 12–24 months post-close.
• Build synergy tracking systems and enforce execution discipline across all functional teams.
• Identify additional synergy opportunities post-close and drive them to extraction.
• Partner closely with the COO and C-suite stakeholders to establish alignment, clarify priorities, and resolve complex issues.
• Serve as the bridge between Corp Dev, Product, Engineering, Finance, Operations, and Legal.

Requirements

• Proven ability to build integration playbooks, governance models, and synergy frameworks from scratch.
• Demonstrated success owning integration across product, engineering, finance, and G&A domains.
• Experience working upstream with Corp Dev on deal thesis formation and early diligence.
• Ability to operate in the long-tail of integration, staying engaged for months or years to ensure continued synergy extraction.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills, including regular engagement with C-suite leaders.
• Experience at a high-growth fintech or tech company strongly preferred (crypto experience a plus but not required).

Nice to Have

• Experience in the crypto industry.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to thrive in ambiguous environments.

What We Offer
