Senior Counsel, Business Legal

Coinbase operates as a leading cryptocurrency exchange and financial technology platform, focused on expanding access to digital assets and building the infrastructure for a more open financial system. The company follows a remote‑first model with quarterly in‑person sessions, emphasizing high‑impact work and a fast‑paced, results‑driven culture. As Senior Counsel on the Business Legal team, the role centers on negotiating and structuring bespoke commercial agreements that underpin Coinbase’s strategic partnerships with fintech and technology firms. Day‑to‑day responsibilities include driving novel deal frameworks, advising product, sales, and business development leads on transactional risks, creating scalable playbooks and templates to accelerate deal cycles, and collaborating with engineering, finance, tax, and compliance stakeholders to close complex, first‑of‑their‑kind transactions. The position suits candidates who hold a J.D., are licensed to practice in a U.S. state, and bring seven or more years of transactional experience—preferably in‑house or at a top law firm—with a proven track record of closing high‑stakes fintech agreements, independently managing end‑to‑end deal execution, and building repeatable legal processes that increase velocity while managing risk in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment.
