Senior Product Manager, Risk

Details

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

As a Senior Product Manager on the Risk team within the Consumer & Business group, you will own the product strategy and roadmap for how Coinbase detects, prevents, and responds to fraud, account takeover, and scam risk across its platform. The team builds products and risk controls that protect millions of customers and billions in assets. You will partner with Engineering, Data Science, and Risk Analytics to ship products that stay ahead of evolving threats while keeping the customer experience fast and frictionless.

Responsibilities

• Own the product roadmap for one or more risk domains, such as account takeover prevention, scam detection, or payment fraud, defining the vision, priorities, and success metrics that reduce customer losses and improve detection accuracy.
• Drive cross-functional execution with Engineering, Data Science, and Design to ship risk products from concept through launch, making trade-offs between speed, coverage, and user experience.
• Partner with Risk Analytics and Machine Learning teams to translate fraud signals, model outputs, and emerging threat patterns into product requirements and control strategies.
• Lead experimentation and measurement of risk interventions, using data to quantify impact on fraud rates, false-positive rates, and customer friction.
• Shape the long-term risk product strategy by analyzing industry trends, regulatory shifts, and crypto-specific threat vectors to keep Coinbase ahead of adversaries.

Requirements

• At least 7 years of product management experience, including at least 3 years focused on risk, fraud, trust and safety, or payments in a consumer fintech or e-commerce environment.
• Proven track record of shipping risk or fraud products that measurably reduced loss rates, improved detection precision, or scaled risk controls across multiple product surfaces.
• Deep fluency in data-driven decision-making, including defining metrics, running experiments, and interpreting machine learning model performance to inform product direction.
• Experience partnering with engineering and data science teams to build and iterate on real-time risk systems, rules engines, or machine-learning-powered detection pipelines.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate complex risk trade-offs to senior leadership and translate technical fraud concepts into clear business-impact narratives.
• Responsible use of generative AI, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.

Compensation and Benefits

• Annual base salary range: $207,485–$244,100 USD, excluding equity and bonus.
• Total compensation may also include equity and bonus eligibility.
• Benefits include medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
• Coinbase is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
• Reasonable accommodations are available for applicants with disabilities.
• US applicants are subject to Coinbase's candidate privacy notice and arbitration agreement.
