Global Regulatory Policy, Sr. 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.

As a member of the team you will work in a fast-paced environment supporting a wide variety of regulatory advocacy and the development of new policy positions, including by drafting written materials such as consultation responses and presentations for external engagements.  

A successful candidate will have  (1) excellent communication and writing skills, (2) some previous experience with the  public consultation or regulatory rulemaking process; and (3) familiarity with digital asset regulation or policy.  Relevant knowledge areas include US and global markets regulations,  prudential regulation, and payments regulations. 

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

• Work with cross functional product/legal/policy teams to establish internal policy views on emergent regulatory issues
• Draft superbly written materials in support of regulatory consultations and engagements
• Support external engagements with regulators and standard setters

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

• Bachelor’s or non-US equivalent (required) + advanced degree in finance, economics, or law (preferred).
• Minimum of  4 + years of financial services regulatory experience,  ideally focused on CFTC, SEC and/or prudential regulation.  
• Management consulting experience is a plus.
• Understanding of blockchain-based technology, products, and services
• You must be an exceptional communicator. You will be expected to produce original written work for both internal and external consumption.
• Superb attention to detail

Nice to haves:

• Experience working at a multiclient law firm
• Experience responding to regulatory consultations, or equivalent experience from the government side.
• Experience with a government agency/authority.
