Job Description

• You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there. 
• You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0. 
• You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
• You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job.
• You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
• You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

We’re looking for a Technical Program Manager to join the Strategic Programs team. You will be responsible for the strategy, planning, and execution of crypto-focused programs that are critical to Coinbase.

• Manage requirements documentation, milestone mapping, prioritization, and program communication
• Create thorough functional specs, project / release plans, and roadmaps
• Monitor program status, identify issues / risks, succinctly communicate issues, and proactively collaborate to ensure timely resolution
• Example programs you may lead include the buildout of new developer products, managing the lifecycle of staking protocols, and building platforms to streamline existing crypto operations
