Senior Technical Program Manager, Consumer

Details

Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company, with quarterly in-person working sessions called “surges.” The Consumer & Business organization owns Coinbase's flagship retail experiences across trading, investing, and related financial products. This role leads high-priority, multi-quarter programs spanning multiple product areas and engineering teams, turning strategy into clear plans and shipping high-quality features reliably and on time. Recent launches led by TPMs on this team include Equities, Prediction Markets, Derivatives, and Credit Card.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-functional programs from problem definition through launch and post-launch follow-up, ensuring scope, milestones, dependencies, and success metrics are defined and tracked.
• Drive the operating cadence for programs, including kickoffs, status reviews, dashboards, and risk tracking, to keep teams aligned and accountable across Product, Engineering, Design, Data, and business partners.
• Identify risks and cross-team dependencies proactively, drive mitigations, and escalate clearly when leadership decisions are needed.
• Partner with Engineering leads to evaluate technical trade-offs around reliability, scalability, and long-term maintainability, ensuring architecture decisions support program goals.
• Translate product and business goals into executable program plans and define program-level KPIs that guide prioritization and decision-making.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager, Engineering leader, or similar role driving large technical programs in a high-growth consumer technology company.
• Proven track record leading cross-functional initiatives through significant ambiguity, tight timelines, and regulatory constraints, with the ability to drive programs independently from early framing through launch.
• Technical fluency in modern distributed systems sufficient to engage with Staff+ engineers on architecture, design trade-offs, and sequencing decisions.
• Experience defining program-level KPIs and using dashboards and data to guide prioritization, with a track record of influencing outcomes without direct authority across Product, Engineering, and business teams.
• Familiarity with trading, brokerage, payments, or other high-throughput fintech products, or with crypto, Web3, or DeFi ecosystems.
• Ability to utilize generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.

Compensation and Benefits

• Annual base salary: $193,970–$228,200 USD, varying by location.
• Total compensation may also include equity and bonus eligibility.
• Benefits include medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
• Candidates may submit a maximum of three applications within a six-month period.
