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.

Some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated traders from high‑volume retail VIPs to institutional clients use Coinbase’s industry‑leading derivatives and spot offerings. We’re expanding our Sales coverage and building our presence in India one of the fastest‑growing crypto markets globally. We’re seeking an accomplished, hands‑on sales professional who can originate high‑impact relationships, close complex deals, and strategically influence market penetration — all while operating as a senior individual contributor.

About the Role

As Derivatives Sales Manager (India), you will be accountable for accelerating Coinbase Advanced’s derivatives growth in India. This is a senior individual contributor role you will not directly manage a team but will personally own end‑to‑end business development and sales execution: from strategy creation through client origination, coverage, negotiation, and onboarding. You will operate with significant autonomy, collaborating regionally and globally to deliver measurable market share and revenue growth in one of the most dynamic crypto economies.

What You’ll Be Doing

    • Originate, deepen, and expand high‑value relationships with VIP clients, crypto‑native high‑volume traders, and institutions primarily in India, with additional APAC coverage where relevant.
    • Design and execute targeted sales strategies to drive market penetration and revenue growth in derivatives trading.
    • Lead and own the full sales cycle: prospecting, pitching, negotiating, and onboarding, followed by ongoing account management to maximize trading volumes and client satisfaction.
    • Maintain and grow a robust pipeline in CRM, ensuring disciplined tracking, timely follow‑up, and reporting against targets.
    • Represent Coinbase at client meetings, industry events, and conferences in India and occasionally in APAC; act as a senior market ambassador.
    • Collaborate cross‑functionally with product, marketing, compliance, and operational teams to deliver client‑centric solutions tailored for the local market.
    • Capture and share market intelligence to influence Coinbase’s competitive positioning, product roadmap, and regional strategy.

What We Look For in You

    • 8+ years of relevant experience in sales, sales & trading, account management, or business development in tier‑1 financial institutions, cryptocurrency exchanges, or fintech.
    • Proven origination track record with existing relationships in India among VIP derivatives traders (crypto and/or traditional finance); APAC relationships are a plus.
    • Deep knowledge of derivatives markets, product structures, and risk management principles.
    • Strong commercial acumen and ability to close complex, high‑value deals independently.
    • History of exceeding revenue, volume, and growth targets in prior roles.
    • Strategic and proactive execution style, with ability to operate independently while collaborating across teams.
  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and negotiation ski
