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.
The Acceleration Programs team designs cohort-based experiences for critical groups of employees. As a Program Manager, you will own two flagship programs: the Internship Program (note: experience and program delivery, not recruiting) and the High Potential Program.
What you'll be doing (ie. job duties):*
High Potential (HiPo) Program
Analysis of employee and leader data, and direct engagement with HRBPs, to understand what resonates for high-potential talent at different levels and across functions; translation of insights into evolved program design and offerings.
Building a cohesive experience portfolio with offerings applied across the HiPo population, tailored to career stage, and personalized at the individual level with manager-enabled development plans.
Standing up and running signature experiences, including a 'Tours of Duty' strategy to intentionally place and support HiPos in roles that accelerate growth, fireside chats with external and internal leaders, and targeted skills workshops.
Evolving success metrics (e.g., retention, internal mobility, engagement), using data, feedback, and company insights to iterate quickly.
Building trust and alignment with senior leaders, HRBPs, and program stakeholders; serving as an advocate for HiPo interests across PST processes.
Internship Program (program experience and delivery)
Owning the end-to-end intern experience across hubs and cohorts (e.g., orientation, in-hub events, learning workshops, guest speakers, connection programming) in partnership with L&D, Recruiting, HRBPs, People Ops, and EWX.
Designing and delivering in-hub and IRL experiences, including vendor selection, event contracting, and budget tracking in partnership with EWX/Finance; leveraging contractor support to execute at scale (e.g., event vendors, production, on-site support).
Upholding our rigorous program ethos-an internship where conversion is earned-by enabling managers and team guides with toolkits, trainings, and clear evaluation processes.
Managing the operating rhythm and milestone calendar across multiple cohorts, ensuring a consistent, best-in-class experience and timely conversion decisions.
Tracking and improving program health via key metrics (e.g., intern experience favorability, quality guardrails that align with Talent Density) and driving continuous improvement.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):*
Experience taking employee development programs from 0?1 and iterating them at speed; 7+ years in People/HR/Talent or adjacent functions.
Strong program/project management with impeccable attention to detail across concurrent programs; bias to outcomes and impact.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder influence skills across all levels; adept at surfacing and resolving conflicting POVs to land decisions quickly.
Data-driven mindset; comfort defining success metrics, analyzing signal, and making clear tradeoffs to improve program outcomes.
Passion for designing high-impact employee experiences for HiPo and emerging-talent cohorts; curiosity, self-awareness, and resilience to thrive in a high-bar environment.
Located in San Francisco or New York City metro areas (preferred) or willing to travel as needed (likely significant travel in summer months).
Nice to haves:
Experience building cohort-based programs (HiPo, rotational, or internship).
Experience in crypto/fintech or similarly fast-paced, high-growth environments.
