Business Operations & Strategy Associate / Senior Associate

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.

Business Operations & Strategy is a cross-functional team working across the whole company –including both strategy and operations. The team is a partner to the senior leadership at Coinbase focusing on high-impact strategic projects and data analyses.  We're currently hiring for roles at both the Associate and Senior Associate levels. 

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

• Structure complex and ambiguous strategic problems for the Coinbase leadership team 
• Develop a deep understanding of our peer and competitor positioning as well as the emerging crypto landscape to inform your recommendations
• Define clear hypotheses to identify new opportunities, and build business cases and quantitative models that will inform and influence our strategy
• Use data and insight to define changes, design experiments, and implement those changes across our products
• Passion to do whatever it takes to solve complex problems and build scalable processes.
• Contribute to improving our capabilities by enhancing existing processes and recruiting and developing new team members

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements): 

• BA / BS degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 2+ years of experience in a business-strategy role (Management consulting, Hedge Fund, Banking, Operations at a start-up, etc.)
• Outstanding executive-level verbal and written communication skills
• Strong organization, project and time management skills 
• Ability to plan and prioritize workload; ability to multitask and meet deadlines with quality product
• Passion for solving complex problems, and building scalable processes
• Comfort working in a high growth, constantly changing environment

Nice to haves:

• Experience working at or on a Crypto-focused company or protocol, or at a Crypto Exchange
• MBA or advanced degree.
• SQL experience 
• Comfortable with crypto tools such as Dune Analytics and Etherscan
