Senior Manager Product Operations, FCM Ops

Details

Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Employees are expected to meet quarterly for in-person working sessions called “surges.”

The FCM Operations team supports Coinbase Financial Markets, Inc.’s US Futures, Options, and Prediction Markets businesses by managing critical operational workflows, including trade flow and position management, margin monitoring, internal and regulatory reporting, and business analytics. The team also enables new product launches, feature enhancements, and vendor management.

This role is for a senior individual contributor who can operate at both strategic and execution depth, using technical and regulatory expertise to evolve the FCM operating model. The position involves identifying where workflows, controls, and tooling may break as the business scales, partnering cross-functionally to design better solutions, and driving those solutions through implementation. It is suited to a hands-on, product-oriented operator who can translate business complexity into scalable processes, control frameworks, and operational tooling.

Responsibilities

• Own and continuously improve the FCM operating model across trade flow management, position management, margin monitoring, internal reporting, regulatory reporting support, and business analytics.
• Lead the design and build of scalable operational solutions across people, process, and tooling, with a focus on reducing manual effort, increasing control quality, and improving operational resilience.
• Monitor environmental stability and process reliability using data and operational insights.
• Provide transparency on operational health, categorize and prioritize enhancements, and lead delivery across a high-stakes regulated environment.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Risk, Accounting, Compliance, Legal, and external partners to shape requirements, influence roadmap priorities, and translate business needs into practical, well-controlled solutions.
• Drive strategic initiatives involving launch readiness, process redesign, automation, control architecture, vendor tooling, and remediation of operational pain points.
• Define future-state workflows and ownership models for new products, features, and business expansions, ensuring operational considerations are embedded early in the design process.
• Establish and improve documentation, policies, procedures, governance standards, and decision frameworks for critical workflows and strategic changes.

Requirements

• Deep knowledge of listed derivatives, futures operations, and broker-dealer or FCM workflows.
• Significant experience in operations, product operations, business operations, or program leadership in regulated financial services.
• Strong hands-on technical knowledge of trade processing systems, books and records, and related infrastructure.
• Experience leading large-scale transformation initiatives in the listed derivatives ecosystem.
• Ability to operate autonomously at a senior individual contributor level, combining strategic judgment with hands-on execution.
• Proven experience leading ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives and turning them into durable process or tooling improvements.
• Experience partnering with Product and Engineering to build scalable operating solutions.
• Excellent analytical, prioritization, communication, and systems-thinking skills.
• Responsible use of generative AI, with strong human oversight to improve efficiency, cost, and quality.
