About the role

As a Business Operations Senior Associate on the Business Operations & Strategy team within the Institutional group, you'll partner directly with senior leadership on Coinbase's highest-priority strategic and operational challenges.

• Build business cases and financial models that identify new opportunities and directly inform Institutional product and go-to-market strategy.
• Develop and maintain a deep understanding of competitive positioning, peer benchmarks, and the evolving crypto landscape to sharpen strategic recommendations.
• Design and implement experiments to validate hypotheses, measure impact, and drive measurable changes across Institutional products.
• Own problems end-to-end, from initial framing through analysis, recommendation, and implementation, not just the slide deck.

• Track record of delivering clear, concise written and verbal recommendations to senior stakeholders in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
