Manager, Emerging Talent Programs

Back to All Jobs

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. Most importantly, we seek people who are excited about 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.

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 Emerging Talent Program team is responsible for hiring emerging, high potential talent across Coinbase. We believe internships are a great opportunity to assess candidates' abilities to deliver real value and inject fresh perspectives into our organization. Creating robust internship programs and conversion paths are critical to sustaining a talent-dense organization.

We partner cross-functionally with Talent, Talent Ops, HRBPs, People Analytics, HR Ops, L&D, Employee Experience, and business leaders to bring our hiring, programs, and initiatives to life. Innovation is our game – we're always searching for smart, practical ways to improve our work. When challenges arise, we tackle them head-on with creative solutions.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Recruiting Strategy: Develop and execute innovative sourcing and hiring strategies to attract top talent from target schools, programs, and alternative onchain talent pools. Work closely with hiring managers and interview teams to continue to evolve an exceptional and structured interview experience. Drive and deliver the best internship program in tech and crypto, delivering real value to the business and talent as well as fostering an effective evaluation for conversion.
  • Program Development, Management, and Execution: Lead a team managing end-to-end logistics for recruiting events, internship programs, and new hire onboarding. Create a stellar experience with training, mentorship, and projects. Expect to spend substantial time in the Bay Area office during intern season, and some travel throughout the year.
  • Data Analysis: Analyze and report on programs and progress. Leverage data-driven insights to identify areas for optimization and inform decision making.
  • Stakeholder Management: Cultivate partnerships with schools, programs, and business leaders to forecast needs. Manage cross-functional collaboration.
  • Team Leadership: Lead, mentor and develop a small team of recruiters. Ensure they meet milestones and metrics with excellence.

What we look for in you:

  • 8+ years of emerging talent recruiting experience, including technical and non-technical roles, preferably in the tech industry or company
  • 5+ years managing, mentoring, and guiding recruiting teams
  • Experience with crypto/fintech; passion for crypto!
  • Demonstrated ability to build and manage innovation, effective, and unique emerging talent programs and ways to proactively find and engage emerging talent pipelines

  • Strong project management skills with ability to balance multiple priorities
  • Ability to think strategically and proactively
  • Data-driven mindset and analytical approach to improving programs and decision making
  • Excellent relationship building and stakeholder management skills
  • Passion for identifying and developing top talent

Nice to haves:
