Senior Program Specialist, EWX Operations

Join Coinbase's Employee & Workplace Experience Team

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.

The Employee & Workplace Experience (EWX) team owns the places and programs that shape how Coinbase employees connect, collaborate, and come together. As a remote-first company, EWX ensures that in-person time is intentional, well run, and operating clearly, consistently, and at scale. This role sits at the center of EWX operations, focusing on building the structure and operating systems that enable others to execute well.

Job Duties

• Run the rhythm of the business - own planning cycles, weekly prioritization, launch readiness, and retrospectives for EWX.

• Budget management - track budgets for EWX programs and initiatives.
• Real estate and program planning support - support real estate planning work, including capacity assumptions, utilization inputs, and timing.
• Process, systems, and tools - build and maintain repeatable processes, playbooks, and operating models.
• Data, reporting, and storytelling - help define what success looks like for EWX programs. Build dashboards and simple reporting to show progress, spend, and impact. Turn updates into clear written summaries for leadership.

Job Requirements

• Five to seven plus years in operations, program management, business operations, or a similar role.
• Strong systems thinker who builds structure to prevent repeated problem-solving.
