Job description
Ready to do the most impactful work of your career? At Coinbase, we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom.

If you're ready to build the future of finance alongside people who refuse to settle for "good enough," you belong here. Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Expect to get together quarterly for intense in-person working sessions called “surges.” The Product Foundations team within Coinbase's product group builds the systems that protect Coinbase, our customers, and the broader crypto ecosystem, powering identity verification, money movement, and regulatory compliance across every jurisdiction.

- Lead a team of PMs to define, prioritize, and deliver AI/ML-powered capabilities that reduce manual compliance effort, increase detection accuracy, and scale compliance operations across jurisdictions.
- Drive significant cost optimization by identifying and executing automation opportunities across one of Coinbase's largest operational cost centers, without increasing regulatory risk.
- Partner with Compliance, Legal, Trust & Risk, Engineering, and Data Science to ensure automation systems meet regulatory requirements while enabling product velocity.
- Shape the integration of emerging AI/ML technologies to strengthen compliance detection, reduce false positive rates, and accelerate case resolution.
- Build and maintain relationships with regulatory and compliance stakeholders, translating evolving regulatory requirements into actionable product capabilities.
Requirements
- 10+ years of product management experience, with significant experience in AI/ML-powered automation, compliance technology, or operational automation at scale.
- Experience leading large, complex cross-functional programs with multiple workstreams, including managing managers or leading PM teams.
- Demonstrated ability to partner with ML engineers on agentic AI architectures and translate technical capabilities into compliance product strategy.
- Proven track record with regulatory compliance frameworks (sanctions, transaction monitoring, AML/BSA) and navigating compliance approval processes.
- Experience driving executive-level alignment and communicating investment tradeoffs to senior leadership (VP+, ET) with clarity and precision.
- Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.

- Annual base salary range (excluding equity and bonus): $243,865—$286,900 USD.
