Senior Manager Compliance Operations

Senior Manager, Compliance Edd Operations

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. As the Senior Manager, Compliance Edd Operations at Coinbase, you'll lead the charge in combating money laundering and ensuring that we meet our mission to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone.

With your expertise in compliance, operations, and Quality Control, you'll be the mastermind ensuring our teams are performing their work to the highest quality standards and in full compliance with our regulatory obligations. In this critical role, you'll take charge of aggregating and monitoring multiple streams of quality data, and using that data to identify trends and areas for improvement. You will work closely with your team and cross-functional partners to develop and implement effective solutions that will help us meet our goals in a meaningful way. As a natural leader with a passion for compliance and operations, you'll collaborate with other leaders, internal stakeholders, and outsourced vendor partners to ensure that our operations are scaling in a thoughtful, effective way.
