We’re a group of hard-working overachievers who are deeply focused on building the future of finance and Web3 for our users across the globe, whether they’re trading, storing, staking or using crypto. Know those people who always lead the group project? That’s us.

There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Coinbase, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in aculture (https://blog.coinbase.com/culture-at-coinbase-f0e1c2a99aff) like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves.

Finally, we seek people who are excited to learn about and live crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture.

Ready to #LiveCrypto? Who you are:

• You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there.

• You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0.

• You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

This is one of those roles that’s not right for most people, and is hard to hire for, but for the folks where it’s truly a fit, this is the most incredible, fun, and rewarding job in the world.

• Own and execute a roadmap to implement constant improvements to increase the program’s efficiency and efficacy. Listen to, and triage feedback from your stakeholders (internal and external) to drive the most impactful improvements.

• Cascade information, updates, and blockers to your stakeholders in a timely manner while being clear and concise. Be a leader who sees around corners - anticipate what may go wrong before it happens.

• You will be responsible for learning how to communicate with internal teams that have different backgrounds and priorities. If you encounter blockers, you’ll propose creative solutions and use your learnings to create better processes going forward.

• Coordinate the launch of campaigns, follow-up actions, and results reporting. Address follow-up requests from partners, such as content updates or modifications to rewards.
