At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom around the world, and we couldn’t do this without hiring the best people. We’re a group of hard-working overachievers who are deeply focused on building the future of finance and Web3 for our users across the globe, whether they’re trading, storing, staking or using crypto. Know those people who always lead the group project? That’s us.

There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Coinbase, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves. Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission-focused approach to our work. Finally, we seek people who are excited to learn about and live crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture. We’re a remote-first company looking to hire the absolute best talent all over the world.

Ready to #LiveCrypto? Who you are:

  • You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there.
  • You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0.
  • You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
  • You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job.
  • You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
  • You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

As Associate Creative Director in Coinbase’s Creative Studio, you are at the forefront of the most dynamic space in creative marketing. The team operates at the intersection of onchain art, culture, community, technology, and finance. Reporting to the VP Creative your remit is to embrace every opportunity to build and foster the Base brand with its core community of creatives and developers. You’ll be at the center of the action, both leading and solving proactive briefs and concepting reactive creative in real time with the community. In either case you’ll be hands-on with the work, prototyping your thinking in a work culture that embraces ideas and creativity over decks and consensus.

You’ll partner with internal creatives, strategists, creative producers, marketers, and operations leads to develop and deliver industry-leading creative that breaks through and connects deeply with its audience. And you will partner as a thought leader with the Base product leadership team to develop a truly cross-functional team that delivers creative at the speed of onchain. Your work will help artfully articulate the vision for the future crypto economy, and thoughtfully show how our products are differentiated from others in the space.

To do all of this you’ll need an onchain background, with experience designing and developing creative specifically for this space in a design-forward, principled, community-driven brand role.

Above all, you will lead by example by making the most of every opportunity to develop breakthrough creative that demonstrates the passion and potential that is being built onchain, and you’ll share your knowledge with our growing in-house Creative Studio, helping bolster the skills of creatives from diverse brand backgrounds.

What you’ll be doing

  • Foster and grow the Base brand through creative work that is timely, breakthrough, and conceptually excellent.
  • Leverage prior onchain community experiences to encourage new creatives and developers to build on Base.
  • Partner deeply with product leadership to design a creative workflow that is nimble and proactive in nature.
  • Mentor developing talent, set a high bar for creative excellence, contribute to an onchain creative culture that people want to join.
  • Jump on every opportunity to refine, evolve, and grow the Base brand.

What we look for

  • 8+ years experience as a creative practitioner, preferably as a designer in a high functioning, creatively excellent team environment.
  • 2+ years recent experience in onchain environments, and the ability to authentically engage with the developer and creative audiences that we’re building products for.
  • A strategic point of view matched with proven hands-on creative craft.
  • An onchain native, social-forward approach to brand building with a clear point of view on how to reach the next generation of creatives and builders.
