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.
As a member of our State Government Affairs team, you will be responsible for helping to advocate for state and local public policy initiatives, and assisting with Coinbase’s engagement strategy with state legislators. Your experience working at the state or local level in government, as well as working as a policy advocate, will be vital to this role.
What you will be doing (i.e. job duties).
- Monitor and analyze state legislation impacting Coinbase.
- Work cross functionally with policy/regulatory/communications/product teams to determine impacts of state legislation and develop and communicate internal/external response.
- Design and implement public policy initiatives and engagement strategies with state legislators.
- Build and nurture relationships with legislators and key stakeholders like trade associations, peers at similar companies, non-profits, etc.
- Develop relevant materials for engagement with state officials - often for senior Coinbase employees.
- Manage output of Coinbase’s contract lobbyists.
- Represent Coinbase at state conferences across the country.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- Bachelor’s or non-US equivalent required.
- 5+ years of experience in government, government relations, or other advocacy/engagement roles at the state level.
- Previous working experience leading a portfolio of policy issues and coordinating policy-focused events.
- Familiarity with crypto policy issues.
- While this is a remote role, travel is an essential function of the job, 50%+ of your time may require travel to various parts of the country.
- You must be a strong self-starter and problem solver. This position will require you to manage multiple projects simultaneously. Being able to execute with little oversight will be paramount to success.
Nice to haves:
- Deep understanding of blockchain and cryptocurrency - including personal crypto portfolio
