Director, Operational Risk

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.

Coinbase is looking for a Director of Operational Risk, reporting to the VP of Financial & Operational Risk, to mature this global second-line function. This role will work cross-functionally with Technology Risk, Enterprise Risk, and product and engineering teams across the company to ensure Coinbase effectively identifies and manages its operational risk and resiliency. This is a high-impact leadership position that ensures we identify and mitigate systemic vulnerabilities while enabling the business to scale safely.

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.
