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.

This role is for a Senior Sanctions Associate within Enterprise Compliance. The Coinbase Sanctions Advisory team is responsible for identifying and managing sanctions risks across Coinbase. This role will involve detecting, controlling, and mitigating sanctions risks across Coinbase globally.

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

    • Serve as an enterprise-wide advisor for sanctions related risks to the company, educating the business and helping various first line divisions to design effective sanctions controls and/or remediate any potential control weaknesses
    • Stay abreast of relevant regulatory changes or new regulatory requirements relevant to sanctions compliance to ensure timely implementation.
    • Engage in cross-functional collaboration on emerging sanctions regulations.
    • Serve as an escalation point for complex sanctions issues.
    • Other duties and responsibilities as required or assigned.

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

    • 5+ years of experience advising on US, EU, and/or UK sanctions laws and regulations.
    • Proficient in the crypto economy and proven experience in at least one blockchain analytics platform.
    • Experience in analyzing sanctions implications for complex business issues and transactions.
    • A well-organized self-starter who is able to constantly learn and work autonomously.
    • Interest in supporting the development of innovative products/services in cryptocurrency industry
    • Excellent writing, research, analytical, and communication skills

Nice to haves:

    • Experience working at a cryptocurrency exchange or other crypto project/company.
    • Proven experience in multiple blockchain analytics platforms.
    • Proficient in Spanish.
