At Kraken we’ve developed an innovative platform that is licensed to support 54 million customer accounts in 17 countries, and we aim to serve 100 million globally by 2027.

Industry Analytics is a newly established business area that sits in our Industry Implementation product group. Our purpose is to serve as the foundation for energy industry expertise in every market.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with us on real market-based challenges, help to drive the development of Kraken’s industry products, move us towards net zero, and support the energy transition.
