• Engaging prudential regulators in ways that promote continued digital asset innovations and growth.
• Develop and advocate for efficient and effective regulation of the crypto asset ecosystem through interactions with prudential regulators and global standard setting organizations.

• Advise Coinbase leadership on emerging prudential regulatory developments as they relate to the digital asset ecosystem
• Work with internal Coinbase experts, outside counsels, and economic consulting firms to develop effective responses to public consultations issued by prudential regulators and standard setting organizations on proposed regulatory actions.
• Collaborate with cross functional Coinbase teams — and through memberships with industry organizations and trade associations — to generate internal analyses that inform policy positions
• Develop white papers, policy analyses, Coinbase positions, and talking points for public presentations and government briefings

• 10+ years experience
• A broad understanding of traditional finance
• Deep subject matter expertise in one or more of the following areas: implementation or development of U.S. bank regulation, Basel Committee frameworks, Fundamental Review of Trading Book, G-SIB methodology, capital charges, and supplementary leverage ratios.
• Strong interest in block chain technology and digital asset policy as it relates to bank and broker-dealer treatment of cryptoassets
• Significant experience with bank regulation and the balance sheet and trading book treatment of financial assets and corresponding economic exposures; activities within broker-dealer subsidiaries; and have strong skills in organizing and presenting succinct analyses of complicated prudential regulatory matters to executive level audiences and senior government officials.

Nice to haves:

• Rulemaking, market supervision, or policy advising experience at a U.S. bank regulator or reserve bank, or significant experience interacting with staff at a U.S bank regulator on compliance or policy issues.
