Kraken is growing and we’re looking for a Marketing Operations Associate to support our Product Marketing Management (PMM) team. This critical role will serve as the execution arm of the campaigns and strategies crafted by the PMM team. You will work with a specific client focused product group (ie - consumers, institutions, pro traders, etc) to help connect the dots and help the team execute everything from campaigns to surveys to research. 

In this remote North American or European based role, you’ll kick off each day meeting with the PMM team, giving updates on where we are with certain projects, deliverables and priorities and identify cross-functional blockers or dependencies. Next up, is taking a look at the project management app and helping assign tasks to the appropriate party as well as moving tasks through workflows. 

In addition to using your exceptional organization, communication and follow up skills for project management, you’ll also use these skills to inform tactical plans and prioritization of marketing initiatives. You’re also great at managing timelines, identifying action plans and rallying support to achieve impactful results. All in all, you're process oriented, technically adept, and are always crossing your “t’s” and dotting your “i’s.” You're also ready to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative, process-driven environment but know that sometimes we have to adapt and adjust plans on-the-fly.
