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.

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 FP&A team is at the heart of Coinbase's strategic execution, translating our ambitious mission to unlock economic freedom into a sustainable financial reality. We ensure the company's resources are deployed effectively, providing the data-driven guidance that fuels our growth and powers the future of finance. We own the company’s financial roadmap, from the annual operating plan and rolling forecasts to the in-depth business reviews that ensure we drive efficiency and make informed trade offs

Are you fascinated by the story behind the numbers and driven to uncover the 'why' behind the data? Do you thrive in a detail-oriented environment and enjoy taking ownership of your work to achieve shared goals? We are seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to be a critical member of the FP&A team supporting our Legal and Compliance organization.

In this role, you will be a key financial partner to our Legal and Compliance teams, taking ownership of the analysis that guides their operational expenditure (OpEx) planning. Your work will directly contribute to resource allocation, efficiency, and sound strategic decisions as we scale. If you are a proactive, detail-oriented analyst who is eager to make an impact and grow your career, we want to talk to you.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Manage end-to-end financial deliverables: Take ownership of the forecasting, reporting, and analysis for your business partners within the Legal and Compliance organization, ensuring deadlines and deliverables for the annual budget and monthly planning are met with precision.
• Uncover Actionable Insights: Proactively dive into financial and operational data to identify trends, anomalies, and opportunities. We're looking for someone who won’t wait to be asked, but who actively seeks out the why behind the numbers.
• Serve as a Key Financial Partner: Build strong working relationships with partners in the Legal and Compliance organizations. Prepare and present your analysis during business reviews, translating complex data into clear recommendations.
• Ensure Financial Accuracy: Own the month-end close process for your areas, conducting detailed variance analysis and working with the Accounting team to maintain the absolute integrity of our financial data.
• Build and Own Financial Models: Develop, maintain, and own the financial models that drive analysis into financial risks and opportunities.

What We Look For In You:

• A Passion for Financial Analysis: You have a genuine interest in operational efficiency and a drive to use data to understand and influence business performance.
• Proactive and Curious Mindset: You are a self-starter with a strong work ethic, who is not afraid to dig deep into data and ask challenging questions.
• Meticulous Attention to Detail: You are highly organized, committed to accuracy, and take pride in delivering precise and reliable work you can stand behind.
• Strong Collaborative Skills: You are an excellent teammate who can build positive relationships and communicate effectively with partners across the organization.
• Analytical Foundation: 4-8+ years of relevant experience managing OpEx in corporate finance, FP&A, strategic finance, or a related analytical field with strong financial modeling skills.
• A forward-thinking mindset with a demonstrated ability to identify and address process inefficiencies including leveraging automation or AI

Nice to Haves:

• Experience in a high-growth tech environment, FinTech, or financial services.
• Proficiency with financial software (e.g., Anaplan, NetSuite) and data visualization tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau).
• SQL skills for querying and analyzing large datasets.
• Familiarity with Compliance, or Legal functions.
