Proof of work

The team

We’re hiring Data Analysts to join our Compliance Enterprise Client Data Office team, working remotely from India! This role is centered on building and enhancing compliance dashboarding, analytics, and insights — the core responsibility of the position. The candidate must be passionate about creating dashboards that deliver clear, actionable insights, as this will be the main focus of the role.

As a Data Analyst, you will own core responsibilities such as designing scalable compliance dashboards, analytics, and metrics, architecting automated pipelines and audit-ready regulatory reports, and translating plain-language business or regulatory requests into precise data models. You’ll partner closely with leaders across Compliance, Risk, and other stakeholders to strengthen our compliance posture and ensure regulators and executives have visibility into accurate, meaningful insights. Your ability to contextualize data within the broader business and risk landscape, and communicate those insights to both technical and non-technical audiences, will be essential.

In addition to these core responsibilities, you will also provide ad-hoc support where needed: managing data requests, assisting with regulatory reporting, supporting automation and peer code reviews, and developing tactical solutions that free up Product and Engineering teams to focus on long-term improvements. The ability to juggle multiple projects simultaneously, communicate effectively in a fully remote environment, and leverage AI to create scalable frameworks will be key to success.

Ultimately, this is a critical role shaping Kraken’s compliance and client data strategy, aligning data practices with ambitious business objectives, and navigating the complexities of an evolving regulatory landscape with rigor, creativity, and precision.
