Team/Role Overview

The GFCO Programs team is the end-to-end DRI for the financial crimes compliance operations experience and automation across Coinbase's global product and entity footprint. We design, govern, and continuously improve compliance operations through AI-first principles, ensuring regulatory soundness, protecting Coinbase, and delivering a better experience for our customers.

We partner deeply with Central Compliance, Compliance Technology, Engineering & Architecture (EAA), GFCO Operations, Analytics, Workforce Management (WFM), Financial Crimes Data Intelligence (FCDI), and Legal to translate regulatory obligations and operational opportunities into scalable, durable programs across all compliance workstreams, products, and jurisdictions — including Suspicious Activity Monitoring (SAM), Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), Screening, and Complaints.

As a GFCO Program Manager (L6), you will serve as a senior, independent program owner within GFCO Programs — owning one or more complex compliance program verticals end-to-end. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, drive alignment with Director+ stakeholders, and lead programs that span 5+ cross-functional teams, including external parties. You will act as a thought partner to GFCO leadership and be the connective tissue between Compliance Technology, EAA, Operations, WFM, and Central Compliance.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own end-to-end program strategy, planning, and execution for one or more complex GFCO compliance program areas (e.g., SAM/CAR automation, EDD volume reduction, Complaints, Operations, New Jurisdictions & Launches)
