ABOUT THE ROLE Coinbase is a global leader in digital asset finance, committed to expanding economic freedom through secure, innovative technology. The Internal Audit team serves as the third line of defense, ensuring that governance, compliance, risk management, and control processes are robust and effective. As an Associate Manager focused on Financial Crimes Compliance, you will own end‑to‑end audit engagements that protect the company’s integrity and support regulatory readiness across the U.S., EU, and APAC.
