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.

We are seeking a dynamic Strategic Project Lead to join Coinbase’s Office of the CPO (Chief People Officer) to support the execution of strategic key priorities across the People Success Team (PST). In this role, you will be partnering with various Center of Excellences (COEs) to drive HR initiatives and programs to support long term business objectives, ensuring effective execution, clear stakeholder communication and orchestrated coordination. If you are passionate about shaping the future of cryptocurrency on a global scale and excel in a fast-paced, innovative environment, we’d love to hear from you.

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

Working closely with the Office of the CPO to tackle various PST strategic initiatives deemed business critical

Partnering with COEs - Compensation, Merger & Acquisition, Talent Management, Human Resources, etc - to lead or upscale key programs from conception to GTM.

Serving as force multipliers for PST teams with limited execution bandwidth, unlocking embedded accountability and cross functional collaboration/alignment

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

5+ years of experience in HR Program Management or HR functional experience (Compensation, Benefits, Payroll, HR Business Partner, HR Operations, Talent Programs)

Excellent project management and organization skills, with ability to track both small details and big picture, with a bias for action

Excellent written communication skills, ability to adapt communication style and approach

Track record of developing and managing internal people programs, policies, and processes for scale in a high-growth organization

Strong business and global acumen with ability to partner both cross-functional and internationally

Ability to work autonomously and effectively in a fast-paced environment, and to juggle several projects with a spirit of flexibility and positive outlook

High integrity and discretion to handle confidential and sensitive information and data

High degree of judgment and discretion, adaptability, strong problem-solving skills

Nice to haves:

Experience in startup culture - comfortable with ambiguity and non-stop problem solving, building, and action

Experience in companies with a global, distributed workforce

Experience utilizing HR Systems, ideally Workday HCM.
