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. While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported. The Employee & Workplace Experience (EWX) team focuses on the places and programs that define and drive Coinbase culture, which sets us apart from other companies. We accomplish this by influencing the way employees connect, collaborate, and celebrate at Coinbase. Whether it be how we recognize employees, how employees choose to work, or how they stay connected to their team, the EWX team is focused on developing a best-in-class experience for our employees and teams. About the role As the Workplace Design Program Manager, you will own design and space planning across Coinbase offices, creating functional, high-quality spaces that reflect our aesthetic.

Coinbase's remote-first approach emphasizes flexibility and inclusivity, allowing most employees to work from anywhere, including our Coinbase offices. Our real estate philosophy is “Magnets, not Mandates.” This role is about designing spaces employees want to use—driving connection, collaboration, and culture. You’ll partner with Real Estate leadership, execs, and external vendors to bring this vision to life. Projects can range from large-scale hubs of 150,000+ square feet to smaller 5,000 square feet offices, requiring flexibility and creativity across different scales.
