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.
We’re seeking an experienced Executive Assistant who is a polished communicator, highly organized, calm under pressure, and effective in cross‑functional environments. You operate with a proactive, high‑ownership mindset and thrive in fast‑moving, ambiguous situations.
You are a force multiplier and trusted operator to senior leadership, combining precise execution with systems thinking to make our teams faster and smarter. Anticipating 2-3 steps ahead, you connect dots across teams, and drive follow‑through on the work that matters most. You’ll function as strategic leverage for your exec and the org—elevating operations, surfacing risks, and bringing solutions. You model excellence for the EA team and actively contribute to the centralized EA support structure.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Manage complex, dynamic calendars with an analytical, priority‑driven approach to time management.
- Plan and execute complex domestic and international travel (visas, logistics, contingencies).
- Attend key meetings, prepare pre‑reads, capture outcomes, and drive action‑item follow‑through to completion.
- Plan offsites and events end‑to‑end; raise the bar on structure, clarity, and outcomes.
- Act as a strategic operator: keep priorities on track, align stakeholders, surface blockers early, and simplify decision‑making.
- Elevate team operations by simplifying and systematizing processes; create leverage that scales beyond your immediate scope.
- Mentor other EAs; contribute actively in the broader EA & People team.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- Proactive, high‑ownership operator with excellent judgment and discretion; thrives under pressure and tight timelines.
- Polished written and verbal communicator who builds trust quickly across functions and levels.
- Exceptional organization, prioritization, and time management; comfortable juggling multiple competing priorities.
- Strong technology fluency, especially Google Workspace and Slack.
- Experience supporting senior leaders in high‑growth tech environments; comfortable with autonomy and momentum.
- Collaborative, low‑ego teammate who contributes to a centralized EA community and raises the bar for the team.
- AI fluency: you meaningfully use AI to speed up workflows, improve quality, and reduce operational toll.
