About our team

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. Industry Analysts leverage specialist domain knowledge to detect where issues originate and solve key problems for our clients and end consumers. We are responsible for ensuring Kraken manages industry data successfully, and support Tech and Product teams to develop efficient and compliant products.

As the volume, scope and geographical range of the business rapidly expands, we’re looking for individuals who have a deep understanding of their local market to join Industry Analytics teams across the world, to help us build and maintain our industry data, processes and products.

We’re passionate about building great technology to change the way customers use, and think about energy for the good of the planet. 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.
