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.
The Coinbase Customer Experience (CX) organization is on a mission to provide the most trusted and value-added customer support in crypto. We eliminate pain points, empower customers via self-service, and optimize support interactions to deliver an effortless experience. The CX Programs team leads strategy, planning, and execution for the Global Customer Success & Trust (GCST) organization, working at the intersection of product and support to transform the customer experience.

- Develop and implement strategies to optimize customer service operations and drive continuous improvement
- Collaborate with various cross-functional teams, including (but not limited to) Operations, Product, Tooling, Analytics, Knowledge Management, Training and Workforce Management
- Act with urgency to ensure priority items are progressed through having a bias for action and focusing on the 20% of work that will get 80% of the impact
- Identify and analyze data, customer feedback and trends to identify areas for improvement and implement corrective actions
- Stay up to date on industry trends, best practices and emerging technologies to drive innovation in CX Operations and Product
- Develop and deliver proposals and presentations to stakeholders, providing insights on operational performance and CX opportunities
- Manage cross functional partnerships and insights from customers in risk and payments program areas
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- Experience with customer experience or support programs at an enterprise-scale company.
- 5+ years in program management, customer experience, or product operations roles, with direct hands-on experience driving support strategy.
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional programs with product, CX, and XFN stakeholders.
- Track record of building or evolving programs that directly drove measurable business impact in areas like customer sentiment, issue deflection, or reputation management.

- Data-driven decision-maker with experience defining KPIs and partnering closely with analytics to measure social engagement and sentiment.
- Skilled communicator with executive presence and the ability to influence at all levels, particularly in navigating public-facing interactions.
Nice to haves:
- Experience in a risk or regulatory environment
- Experience implementing or scaling LLM-based tools in customer support (e.g., contact attribution, automation, or sentiment analysis)
- Proven track record of building executive-level reporting that ties agent performance to business outcomes like CSAT, sentiment, and contact deflection.
