Job Description

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.

Coinbase Institutional is empowering the world’s institutions to trade, custody, and participate in the global cryptoeconomy. Our portfolio of products are leading the way to serve institutions through US and International Markets, trusted custody solutions, and dedicated crypto prime brokerage.

As a Product Manager on Coinbase Institutional, you will play a critical role in developing and furthering our objectives in the global cryptoeconomy, set the standard of institutional trading and financing, and build a more innovative financial system.

You will work closely with engineering, design, and cross-functional teams to build and enhance Institutional products, powering millions of crypto transactions per day. You will be empowered to work autonomously alongside a strong team to deliver material impact towards our success.

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

    • Own product development from conception to launch, and strategically expand core product offerings
    • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, design and cross-functional teams to develop and steer product roadmap
    • Define and analyze metrics to guide product development
    • Align teams on a shared vision and steer execution on that vision
    • Clearly communicate plans & progress internally to partners, stakeholders, executive leadership and product benefits & functionality externally to clients

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

    • 5+ years of product management experience
    • Exceptional interpersonal communication, relationship management and organizational skills
    • Deep analytical, prioritization and problem solving skills
    • Demonstrated leadership and evidence of the ability to guide product strategy and create alignment with senior engineers, designers, and cross-functional partners
    • An entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to succeed in a fast-paced environment
    • Invests in building to “institutional grade”, with reliability, scale and risk mitigation (whether reputational, market, credit, legal, compliance, tax, operational, or financial)
    • Establishes close working relationships with Sales, Trading, Prime, and Institutional Operations partners, and jointly and ruthlessly executes towards commercial goals
    • Ability to bridge cryptocurrency and financial market primitives to innovate on client or business solutions
    • Demonstrated passion for cryptocurrency, financial markets, and the Coinbase mission

Nice to haves:

    • Expertise in Derivatives Products
    • Experience building for customers that are (often large) institutions, including corporates, asset managers, hedge funds, market makers, and VCs, and appreciation of sub-user types (e.g. trader, operations, financial controller etc.) within
  • Familiarity across a range of financial services products, including trading, financing, payments, custody, or other capital markets experien
