Job description

Klarna, briefly At Klarna, we're building an everyday finance network, helping over 120 million consumers across 26 countries save time and money, and worry less about their finances. Working here means taking on problems most companies never get to solve, and being hands-on enough that the interesting part of the work lands with you, not someone else - you'll build with AI, not watch it happen. This is the stretch zone. Come find out what you're capable of.

About The Role

You'll work independently and prioritise your own workload, while staying closely connected to colleagues and stakeholders in other countries and time zones, mostly remotely. This position is open at Specialist or Manager level, and where we land depends on your experience. A candidate with 2-3 years in financial services would likely join as a Specialist, and one with closer to 6 years would likely join as a Manager.

Who You Are

• You've spent 2-6 years working in the financial services sector.

Things you should know before applying
