Job Description

Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?

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.

• Facilitating external audit activities including coordination of audit walkthroughs and fulfillment of evidence requirements.
• Assist in regulatory security requirement gap assessments.
• Perform regulatory requirement mapping for control requirements.
• Conduct, design, and implement testing over security controls. Identify and analyze process gaps, develop remediation recommendations, and track to completion.
• Work closely with internal and external auditors to educate them and achieve compliance over technology control environments.
• Communicate progress, escalations, and issue resolutions to management and team stakeholders.
• Create procedural documentation, including training materials or process documentation.
• Manage responses to customer inquiries, including contributing to Request for Proposals (RFP), automating responses to customer security inquiries, and diligence assessments.

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

• 3+ years of security/IT compliance or equivalent experience.
• BA or BS in a technical field or equivalent experience.
• Demonstrated project management experience.
• Hands-on experience with implementing, reviewing or auditing security frameworks such as SOC 1, SOC 2, ICFR/SOX, and/orNIST.
• Prior experience working closely with auditors and/or external regulators.
• Experience with compliance initiatives from start to finish.
• Outstanding written and spoken communication skills.
• Ability to effectively and autonomously accomplish outcomes across cross-functional teams in ambiguous situations with light supervision.
• Ability to multitask, prioritize work, and meet deadlines in a fast paced environment.
• Focus on precision and accuracy, and the drive to clarify ambiguity.
• Customer service orientation with a problem-solving approach.
• Successful demonstrated experience managing and working with internal cross-functional teams and product engineering groups.

Nice to haves:

• Prior experience at a Big 4 or consulting experience in Cybersecurity preferred
• Security certifications e.g. CISA, CISSP, CISM or other relevant certifications
• Experience mapping common controls across multiple frameworks in a GRC tool
• Financial services or financial regulatory experience
