Descripción de la vacante

Coinbase is seeking a Senior Strategic Program Lead (GFCO, L5) to own end-to-end compliance programs across SAM, EDD, and related workflows. You will partner with Compliance Tech, EAA, Ops, WFM, Legal, Analytics, and external parties to drive strategic roadmaps and risk-managed execution.

Ideal candidates bring 6+ years in program management within financial crimes, with a track record for cost-saving automation and strong storytelling skills.

Formación

• 6+ years of program or project management experience, with 3+ years in financial crimes compliance, AML, BSA/AML operations, or a related regulatory domain.
• Demonstrated ability to independently drive large-scale, multi-stakeholder programs in a regulated environment with minimal guidance.
• Deep understanding of AML/CFT program operations, including SAM/TMS, EDD, Screening, and SAR filing workflows, and the technology landscape that supports them (e.g., TMS, CMS)

Responsabilidades

• Own end-to-end program strategy, planning, and execution for one or more complex GFCO compliance program areas.
• Develop and drive program charters, roadmaps, and governance frameworks for long-tail, multi-constraint programs, including those with external regulatory commitments
• Lead cross-functional delivery across XFN teams (Compliance Tech, EAA, Ops, WFM, Legal, Analytics) and drive alignment at the Director+ level
• Translate regulatory obligations, operational gaps, and model performance signals into actionable, prioritized program strategies using an Eliminate → Optimize → Automate framework
• Support launch readiness for new products, jurisdictions, and entity expansions, ensuring AML obligation mapping, tooling updates, procedural guidance, volume sizing, and training content are completed before go-live
• Proactively identify and resolve program risks, manage competing priorities with transparent trade-off recommendations to GFCO leadership, and ensure no surprises at regulatory examinations
• Drive WFM-vetted cost savings projections across automation and operational efficiency initiatives, and maintain accountability for reporting only confirmed actuals
• Own intake discipline for your program area — ensuring all automation requests, tooling changes, and resource asks enter through formal intake channels with documented requirements and testing plans
• Author and maintain high-quality strategy and decision documents (P/PSs, RAPIDs, charters) that inform Director/VP-level decision-making
• Manage the feedback loop between automation outputs, QC findings, alert productivity data, and investigator feedback, driving continuous improvement in both the automation model and upstream alerting systems
• Lead Code Yellow-equivalent responses within GFCO (e.g., major lookback events, regulatory deadline responses, Sev2 volume surges)
