Program Manager

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.

• Develop and maintain robust program documentation, including training materials, FAQs, and Confluence wikis, for internal use and regulatory examinations
• Manage additional high-impact programs and initiatives that align with Corporate Programs team objectives.

What we look for in you:

• 3+ years in program management leading complex cross-functional programs and driving change management
