Job Description
Coinbase seeks an Operations Manager to expand its regulated operations within ADGM by collaborating closely with the Senior Executive Officer.

Responsibilities include building operational resilience frameworks, directing incident responses, managing banking and regulatory relationships, and overseeing cross-functional initiatives involving legal, compliance, finance, security, product, and customer service teams.
Qualified candidates will bring extensive background in regulated investment dealer settings and trade supervision across digital assets, derivatives, or equities. The company is an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse workforce without regard to protected characteristics.
