Program Manager II, M&A

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.

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

• Bachelor's degree in, Business, Finance, Project/Program Management, or other related experience
• 5+ years of proven experience in Program / Project Management, Business Analysis, or Product Operations
• Motivated by Coinbase's mission and crafting a seamless support experience for our global customer base, including a deep passion for products within the broader crypto space
