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. As a Senior Manager of Compliance Quality Assurance (QA) and Enablement on our Customer Experience (CX) team, you will serve as the first line of defense within the QA function. Leading a high-performing, global team of dedicated QA professionals and Content Strategists, you will enhance processes and documentation to provide valuable control insights to the business. Your role will significantly impact our mission by maintaining the integrity of quality data and fostering continuous optimization through robust feedback loops.

• Continued evolution and maturation of CX QA and Content programs (EDD, CDD, PEP/Sanctions, and TMS) to align with business strategy, compliance requirements, customer needs, and regulatory expectations.

• Maintain expertise in KYC, CDD, EDD, and financial crime compliance risks, and apply best practices to mitigate these risks effectively.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure QA-identified risks are adequately addressed and mitigated.

• Develop a deep understanding of metrics and workflows to analyze trends, issues, and quality defects, and report insights.

• Enhance cross-functional policies and procedures through collaboration with internal stakeholders

• Lead a team of QA and Content Strategists, providing guidance on best practices and procedures to drive quality in Coinbase CX.

• Provide strategic oversight for the translation of policy documentation into procedural documentation, in service of back office agents

• Support compliance, internal audit, and regulatory assessments, as well as design and operational effectiveness testing of relevant EDD records.

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

• Deep understanding of AML and KYC counterparty risk identification and mitigation principles, including BSA/AML, CDD/EDD, JMLSG, Sanctions, Fincen CDD, Travel Rule, and TMS global regulatory requirements.
