- Leverage recruiting analytics to advise Platform leadership—own forecasting, funnel diagnostics, pass-through rates, diversity metrics, and quality-of-hire signals; convert insights into process and strategy improvements.
- Uphold confidentiality and high judgment on sensitive searches; run parallel, confidential pipelines and maintain impeccable candidate and stakeholder trust.
- Contribute to bar-raising and scalable recruiting programs and process improvements across the Platform group and broader Coinbase recruiting org.

- Experience partnering with Directors and VPs to define org and talent strategies, build competency/leveling frameworks, and solve complex, multi-disciplinary hiring needs.
- Demonstrated ability to mentor and lead Sourcers to elevate pipeline quality, velocity, and diversity for complex, high-priority roles.
- Expert-level sourcing and research skills for senior talent, including market mapping, talent intelligence, outbound sequencing, referrals, and community-based strategies.
- Proven ability to craft compelling pitches and articulate Coinbase’s full value proposition (mission, technical scope/roadmap, culture, and compensation) to senior technical talent, then execute data-driven, high-judgment close plans—including competitive positioning, and complex offer negotiation—to reliably secure top candidates.
- Skilled in building, interpreting, and presenting recruiting analytics and forecasts to executive stakeholders; adept at using data to drive decisions and process improvements.
- Exceptional verbal and written communication and relationship-building skills; comfortable facilitating executive alignment and debriefs.
- High judgment, discretion, and the ability to operate in fast-paced, ambiguous, and evolving environments while delivering a white-glove senior candidate experience.
