At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.

To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

As a communications team member, you will have the opportunity to join the ground floor of a department in a company that is revolutionizing finance and technology.

  • Coinbase’s media relations and strategic presence in critical policy debates within DC and key states across the country
  • Providing durable and optimized plans to oversee reactive issues management and proactive relationship building with communicators and media in Washington, DC
  • Analyzing policy, media, and influencer commentary to provide crisp memos and evaluation for Coinbase communications leads and the wider Coinbase Public Policy team
  • Engaging with our communications agency to ensure solid and clear planning processes

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
