Become a Krakenite and build the future of crypto!
Breakout is the fastest-growing crypto prop trading firm in the world, backed by Kraken - one of the longest-running and most trusted crypto exchanges, founded in 2011. We fund skilled crypto traders with real capital, take on the risk, and pay them a share of the profits. Since launching in November 2023, we have paid our traders over $38M and counting.
We are solving a trust problem in an industry that earned its bad reputation. Most prop firms change rules after the fact, deny payouts on technicalities, or disappear overnight. Breakout was built to be the opposite: consistent rules since day one, on-demand payouts 24/7, and the financial backing of a publicly known parent. That is why traders choose us, and it is why we are scaling fast.
Breakout exists to give serious crypto traders access to meaningful capital without putting their personal savings on the line. We are obsessive about trader experience, rule transparency, and doing right by the people who trust us with their time and money. We move fast, ship constantly, and treat marketing as a core growth engine - not a support function.
Before you apply, spend some time on breakoutprop.com. Read the rules. Look at the public payout leaderboard. Join our Discord and scroll the #payouts channel. Our growth story is built on proof, and the proof is all there to see.
Kraken backs Breakout because they believe crypto prop is one of the biggest unlocks in the industry for the next decade. We are building the firm that defines the category.
Join us and help shape the future of crypto prop trading.
You will lead performance marketing across every channel, every market, and every audience segment Breakout operates in. This is a hands-on, in-the-trenches role - not a manager role. You are not here to manage people. You are here to run the accounts and set the strategy.
Reporting directly to the VP of Growth, you will own the strategy and the daily execution of all paid media worldwide - Meta, Google, TikTok, X, Reddit, YouTube, programmatic, endemic crypto publishers, and channels we have not tested yet. You will be inside every ad account, every day - briefing, building, launching, optimising, and killing campaigns yourself. You will also set the strategy that decides what gets tested, what gets scaled, and what gets cut. Strategist and operator, not one or the other.
You will work side-by-side with our Creative, Content, Lifecycle, Analytics, and Affiliate teammates to hit aggressive CAC and payback targets while scaling spend responsibly across regions and customer segments.
Alongside working directly within the Breakout growth team, you will also work directly with Payward’s (Kraken’s) performance marketing team - one of the leading paid acquisition operations in crypto. You will trade frameworks, channel learnings, and live test results back and forth, lean on their data and platform relationships where they accelerate what you are doing at Breakout, and share back the insights that can help the wider group. Your wins compound across Kraken’s brands, and theirs compound back to yours.
We are looking for a world-class performance marketer who has done this before - ideally in crypto, fintech, trading, or another regulated, high-intent category. Someone who still loves being in the ad accounts, not someone who wants to step away from them.
Own the global performance marketing strategy across every paid channel Breakout invests in - Meta, Google, TikTok, X, Reddit, YouTube, programmatic, endemic crypto media, and beyond.
Set and manage budget, forecasts, and channel mix across regions and customer segments, with full accountability for CAC, payback, and ROAS against our targets.
Run every ad account, every day. You will be in Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads, TikTok Ads Manager, and every other platform we buy on - briefing, building, launching, optimising, and killing campaigns yourself. This is a hands-on role, not a management role.
Partner with our Performance Creative Designer to design, test, and iterate creative at volume across video, static, and motion. You do not design ads, but you know what makes a winning one and can brief it into existence.
Build and maintain a structured testing roadmap across new and emerging channels (web3 DSPs, endemic crypto publishers, gaming, CTV, beta ad products) with clear success criteria and kill rules.
Work with Analytics and BI to build the measurement and attribution infrastructure a modern performance program needs - MMP implementation, pixel hygiene, server-side tracking, incrementality testing.
Partner with Lifecycle, Content, Affiliate, and Product to connect paid to the full funnel so acquisition compounds with activation and retention.
Partner with Payward’s (Kraken’s) performance marketing team to trade frameworks, channel learnings, and live test results. Use their data and platform relationships where they accelerate what you are doing at Breakout, and feed your best insights back to the wider group.
Translate test learnings into repeatable frameworks, playbooks, and documentation the whole marketing org can draw from.
Present results, forecasts, and strategic bets directly to Breakout and Kraken leadership.
Additional duties and responsibilities as assigned.
6+ years of hands-on performance marketing experience, with a clear track record of building or running paid acquisition programs at scale in a high-growth environment.
Demonstrated success running multi-million-dollar paid budgets across a mix of channels, with real accountability for CAC and payback - not just impressions and clicks.
