Analyst, Privacy (Privacy Assessments)

Coinbase is hiring a Privacy Analyst to join its Privacy Operations team within Security. In this remote role, you will run privacy assessments for new products and features, track privacy issues through the product lifecycle, and help build processes that put privacy by design into how Coinbase ships. The team works with Legal, Product, and Engineering, and the role is open to candidates in the USA.

What you will do

• Own end-to-end privacy assessments for new products and features, pulling findings together and driving remediation with partners across Legal, Product, and Engineering.
• Map regulatory requirements against the privacy common controls framework and identify where controls need updating to address changing obligations.
• Track privacy requirements and issues throughout the product lifecycle, managing escalations and working with business owners to resolve them on time.
• Work with Product and Engineering by joining roadmap planning and advising on privacy-by-design principles for onchain and web3 products.
• Find and implement automation and AI-driven process improvements to streamline privacy assessments and issue management workflows.

What they are looking for

• 3+ years in technology risk management focused on privacy or security, including hands-on privacy assessments such as DPIAs, PIAs, data flow reviews, or equivalent.
• A demonstrated ability to map regulatory requirements (GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, ePrivacy) to operational controls and validate remediation efforts.
• A proven ability to turn privacy legal guidance and product specs into functional requirements and actionable remediation plans.
• Experience managing a high volume of concurrent assessments while balancing strategic priorities and stakeholder escalations across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Familiarity with applying privacy principles to blockchain, onchain, and web3 products, or willingness to develop that expertise quickly.
• Responsible use of generative AI, keeping human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.

Pay and benefits

The annual base salary range for this role is $135,320 to $159,200 USD, excluding equity and bonus. Base salary varies by location. Total compensation may also include equity and bonus eligibility, plus benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401(k)).
