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.

The Compliance Associate will assist the Financial Crimes Compliance team in performing key regulatory functions and supporting the oversight of the CBPL AML and Compliance programs. The role holder will report to the UK Deputy MLRO and will be based in the UK.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

  • Supporting the UK Financial Crimes Compliance team in embedding the financial crime framework
  • Supporting the implementation of new AML controls or requirements and enhancements to existing controls
  • Reviewing sanctions escalations
  • Reviewing high risk client relationships
  • Reviewing material negative news
  • Providing support in the review and approval of new products and services
  • Dealing with escalations from the First Line and providing practical advice on required actions
  • Providing support on bank partner queries

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

  • 3-4 years experience working in a compliance or financial crimes related role
  • A good understanding of financial crime risk frameworks and the client KYC lifecycle
  • Clear and concise communication skills, both written and verbal
  • The ability to work collaboratively with a broad range of business functions
  • The ability to foster and maintain effective working relationships with diverse groups of people both within the organisation and with external stakeholders
  • A keen interest in digital currencies
  • Excellent IT & Google Suite skills

Nice to haves:

  • Knowledge of the UK financial crimes and sanctions regimes
  • A professional qualification in Compliance, Financial Crimes or Cryptoassets, or recognition of a recognised professional body would be advantageous, but not a prerequisite
