Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of? At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system. To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems. Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be. While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported.

This is a high-impact leadership position that ensures we identify and mitigate systemic vulnerabilities while enabling the business to scale safely. What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties): - Lead the global Operational Risk function, evolving the second line of defense framework across the entire organization. - Identify and measure operational risks, including via managing the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) program, and recommend and prioritize best practice controls to maintain operational risk within appetite - Develop and monitor Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) to provide senior leadership and the Board with data-driven insights into the company’s operational health. - Evolve the operational incident management process. Perform root cause analysis, scenario stress testing, and track remediation efforts to prevent recurrence of systemic failures or losses. - Evaluate the operational readiness and risk profile of new business initiatives. - Oversee Operational Resiliency, including business continuity and crisis management. Embed resiliency into the product lifecycle, ensuring the firm can maintain critical services through disruptions by aligning with global standards and local regulatory requirements. What we look for in you (ie. job requirements): - 15+ years of operational risk management experience within a regulated financial institution or fintech. - Deep expertise in ORM frameworks and a proven track record of implementing scalable programs. - Collaborative business partner while remaining able to challenge first-line owners effectively. - Clear communicator who can translate complex operational failures into actionable insights for senior stakeholders. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, operate flexibly in a high-growth environment, and drive effective solutions. Nice to haves: - Crypto industry experience. - Advanced degree or professional risk certifications. PID: P75779 Pay Transparency Notice: Depending on your work location, the target annual base salary for this position can range as detailed below.
