Business Operations, Senior Associate

Coinbase is hiring a Business Operations Senior Associate to work directly with senior leadership on the company's highest-priority strategic and operational challenges. You would work mainly with product and sales leaders, structuring complex problems, building quantitative business cases, and turning data into recommendations for executives. The role sits on the Business Operations & Strategy team, and Coinbase is hiring across Consumer, Institutional, Base, and Stablecoins, with placement and fit worked out through the interview process.

What you will do

• Structure complex, ambiguous strategic problems for Coinbase's leadership team and develop recommendations backed by data and quantitative modeling.
• Build business cases and financial models that identify new opportunities and inform Institutional product and go-to-market strategy.
• Develop and maintain a deep understanding of competitive positioning, peer benchmarks, and the changing 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.
• Strengthen team capabilities by improving existing processes, frameworks, and operational tooling.

What they are looking for

• 5+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy, or product strategy, with demonstrated ownership of end-to-end strategic workstreams.
• A proven ability to build quantitative models and business cases that have directly influenced executive or leadership decisions.
• Familiarity with institutional finance, capital markets, or crypto and digital assets markets.
• A track record of delivering clear, concise written and verbal recommendations to senior stakeholders in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
• Exposure to SQL and BI tools (such as Hex, Superset, or Looker) or crypto analytics tools (such as Dune Analytics or Etherscan) is a plus but not required.
• Responsible use of generative AI, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.

Pay and benefits

The annual base salary range for this role is $148,835 to $175,100 USD, excluding equity and bonus. Base salary varies by location. Total compensation may also include equity and bonus eligibility, and benefits include medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
