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. That mission starts with truly world-class social support: fast, empathetic, secure, and proactive. As Head of Social Support, you’ll build and lead the teams that respond to users in the wild—across Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and wherever else crypto conversations happen. And because every public support interaction is also a brand moment, you’ll work hand-in-glove with our Comms team to ensure we speak with one voice: clear, empathetic, credible, and aligned to Coinbase’s values. This is a role for someone who thrives in high-visibility, high-stakes environments, and who sees every customer interaction as an opportunity to reinforce our mission. This role will be embedded within the Global Customer Success & Trust (GCST) organization, working at the intersection of product and support to transform the customer experience.
What you'll be doing
- Champion Coinbase’s Global Social Support/Social Care strategies, define roadmaps/playbooks/voice/tone of global social support programs, and present strategic recommendations and data-driven insights directly to COO and CEO on a regular basis.
- Build and lead a high-performance social support program across Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and adjacent channels—meeting users where they are.
- Define global Crisis Management playbooks and workflows, and efficiently manage crisis responses, including data-breach communications, scam advisories, and trust building post-incident.
- Elevate real-time social listening, triage, and resolution for account issues, verification struggles, fraud attempts, and service frustrations.
- Host cross-functional collaboration with Fraud, Product, Trust & Safety, and Engineering to rapidly address root issues and invest in prevention.
- Oversee escalation workflows—including human handoffs from AI to expert responders—to eliminate chatbot loops and ensure customer empathy and effectiveness.
- Work with operations to develop clear social channel support policies, SLA frameworks, and performance tracking dashboards that drive accountability.
- Champion clarity, calm, and trust in public messaging—becoming a credible, authoritative voice on Coinbase’s support experiences.
What we look for in you
- 8+ years leading social programs, ideally in high-growth tech, fintech, or crypto.
- Proven track record managing high-volume social support environments with strong public visibility.
- Rich experience presenting to C-suite executives and influencing senior cross-functional stakeholders
- Experience partnering with Comms, PR, or brand teams on shared messaging in moments of crisis.
- Deep understanding of AI + human support workflows.
- Comfortable being “on point” for high-stakes, real-time events and shaping the narrative under pressure.
- Data-driven, outcome-oriented, and able to present insights at the executive level.
- Solid understanding of crypto industry challenges and aligned with our mission of increasing economic freedom.
- Excellent organization and project management skills in a fast-moving and demanding environment
Nice to haves
- Experience in regulated industries or with government/press scrutiny.
- Background in crisis comms, incident response, or risk management.
- Familiarity with social listening/triage tools (Sprinklr, Salesforce, Amazon Connect etc.).
