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.

We are seeking an experienced compliance leader to serve as the Chief Compliance Officer and CAMLO for Coinbase Canada. The role will manage Compliance in a high growth market for Coinbase and be responsible for the continued development and maintenance of the Canadian compliance program. The Canada CCO/CAMLO will report to the Head of Compliance Americas.

What you’ll be doing (i.e., job duties):

1. Lead Compliance efforts with respect to the Coinbase Canada’s ongoing CIRO Investment Dealer application
2. Identify relevant regulatory requirements for Coinbase Canada and ensure Coinbase’s ongoing compliance with the same.
3. Keep ahead of regulatory developments in Canada that could impact Coinbase’s business and deploy necessary changes to maintain compliance in partnership with internal stakeholders.
4. Provide regular updates to Canada senior management and the Coinbase Canada Board of Directors regarding the Compliance Program and overall regulatory landscape. Ensure appropriate escalation of compliance incidents or material issues to Compliance and business leadership and the Board.
5. Oversee / manage regulatory notifications, comment letters, and other communications as required. Handle day-to-day regulatory communications.
6. Oversee execution of Compliance Risk Assessments to ensure the adequacy of systems and controls to manage risks effectively.
7. Ensure that policies are updated to meet changing regulatory and business requirements.
8. Oversee deployment of relevant Compliance training for local employees.
9. Ensure timely remediation of all relevant findings identified by third-parties (Internal Audit, regulatory exams), as well as self-identified items.
10. Partner with Compliance and Product stakeholders to ensure compliance obligations are considered and built as part of new product or expansion initiatives. Ensure appropriate documentation, including updating policies and procedures as needed.
11. Manage and develop global relationships with key internal stakeholders and senior management to promote a consistent approach to the development and execution of an effective and integrated control environment.

What we look for in you (i.e., job requirements):

• 8+ years experience in compliance, including senior leadership roles.
• Direct, first-hand knowledge of both Canadian Securities Regulation and Financial Crime Regulation.
• Experience in communicating and building strong relationships with Canadian regulators, specifically the OSC, CIRO, and FINTRAC.
• Experience managing regulatory licence/registration applications.
• Experience in developing and administering internal controls and processes, with a proven track record of partnership and collaboration with remote, global teams.
• Ability to independently manage day-to-day aspects of a Compliance Program, including audits and exams.
• Ability to work collaboratively with a broad range of business functions, with an emphasis on senior management.
• Demonstrated ability to generate and execute strategies across a global organization.
• CSI Chief Compliance Officers Qualifying Examination.

Nice to haves:

• Professional compliance or related qualifications, and membership of a recognized professional body.
