Internal Communications Manager - Fixed Term

Internal Communications Manager (Fixed-Term)

Kraken is on a mission to accelerate the global adoption of cryptoand our internal communications team plays a critical role in aligning, inspiring, and activating Krakenites around that goal.

We're looking for a driven, creative, and highly organized Internal Communications Manager (Fixed-Term) to help us level up how we engage and inform our global team. You'll help our Krakenites stay in sync with the rapid pace of change across the company and deeply connected to our mission of financial freedom and inclusion.

This is a 100% remote, high-impact contract role, reporting to our Sr. Director of Internal Communications. You'll collaborate closely with leadership, cross-functional teams, and especially our People team (Krakenite Experience / KX) to drive clarity, connection, and culture at scale. You'll play a key role in managing comms around org changes, launching internal programs, and making sure every Krakenite understands where we're going, and how they contribute.

If you thrive in fast-moving environments, can balance strategic storytelling with tactical execution, and want to build the future of crypto from the inside out, we want to talk to you.

This role is remote for a resource located in the US or Canada. This role is a fixed term engagement through January 31, 2026.

• Own creation and distribution of content that engages and activates Krakenites: videos, decks, Slack posts, events, and more.

• Partner with KX and key business leaders to drive internal understanding and adoption of critical people programs and change initiatives.

• Help to optimize feedback loops: track comms effectiveness, iterate based on what works, and always push to raise the bar.
