Senior Product Manager, Risk
As a Senior Product Manager on the Risk team within the Consumer & Business group, you'll own the product strategy and roadmap for how Coinbase detects, prevents, and responds to fraud, account takeover, and scam risk across our platform.

You'll 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.

- 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 ML 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
Required Skills and Experience:
- 7+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years focused on risk, fraud, trust and safety, or payments in a consumer fintech or e-commerce environment

- Deep fluency in data-driven decision-making, including defining metrics, running experiments, and interpreting ML model performance to inform product direction
