Senior Counsel, Commercial

Coinbase • Oklahoma City, OK • 5d ago

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 https://www.coinbase.com/mission 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.

We are looking for an exceptional attorney to join our Commercial Legal team. You will be the attorney responsible for a variety of commercial transactions. This will include leading a variety of complex first-of-kind transactions that will set precedent for the crypto industry, and partnering with other members of the Coinbase legal team on a wide variety of matters.

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

Negotiate first-of-a-kind, highly-tailored agreements with strategic partners and sophisticated counterparties in the finance, payments, and digital currency space.

Provide practical advice on legal issues and risks, complex agreement structures, strategic sourcing and vendor management, and company policies in a risk-tolerant, but compliance-oriented environment.

Effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams (Business Development, Strategic Sourcing, Product/Engineering, Finance/Tax, Compliance) and legal colleagues to solve problems, build partnerships, and close deals quickly.

Develop scaled strategies for addressing risk in business-centric ways and build commercial processes that allow the business flexibility and freedom to move quickly.

Look around corners and creatively solve problems for the business as they plan, build, and execute their transactional and product roadmap.

Be a business partner, not just an attorney.

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

Current license in a U.S. state or international jurisdiction with JD or applicable equivalent, with six or more years of relevant transactional experience at a leading law firm, or comparable in house practice.

Interest in digital currency and blockchain technology.

Experience structuring complex transactions and negotiating and drafting commercial agreements with strategic partners in the tech, payments, and/or finance space.

Excellent judgment, analytic rigor, and business pragmatism.

Willingness to roll up sleeves (no job too big, no job too small).

Nice to haves:

Passion for the crypto industry.

Experience with regulated financial services firms.
