VP, Tech Risk and Controls at Coinbase

This is a high-level executive role for a deeply experienced security leader (15+ years) who excels at the intersection of risk management and engineering. You should have a strong background in IT audit or technology risk, specifically within high-growth, regulated environments. The ideal candidate isn't just a policy expert but a strategic operator who can automate compliance workflows within cloud-native architectures. Reporting directly to the Chief Security Officer (CSO), you will lead the global Technology Risk & Controls team. While the role is remote-first, Coinbase emphasizes an "intense" culture and requires attendance at multiple annual in-person offsites. You’ll be responsible for embedding frameworks like NIST and ISO into product roadmaps, ensuring the company remains compliant as it scales in the crypto and fintech space. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have 10+ years of experience leading large teams in complex technical environments. * Can translate high-level regulatory requirements (DORA, ISO, NIST) into actionable engineering tasks. * Thrive in high-pressure, "mission-driven" cultures that value direct feedback and rapid execution. * Possess deep knowledge of cloud security and automated compliance solutions.
