About the Role

Ready to do the most impactful work of your career? At Coinbase, we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom. The bar is high, the environment is intense, and we like it that way. This isn't a place for complacency, it’s a place to be pushed past your perceived limits. If you're ready to build the future of finance alongside people who refuse to settle for "good enough," you belong here.

Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Expect to get together quarterly for intense in-person working sessions called “surges.”

Coinbase Singapore is building a robust, scalable compliance function in support of our Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) regulatory obligations. As Compliance Manager, you will partner with the Singapore CCO and cross-functional stakeholders across Compliance, Legal, Risk, Product, and Operations to advance our Capital Markets Services (CMS) licensing program and maintain a compliance framework aligned with MAS expectations.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation may be required throughout the year at team and company-wide events to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment.

• Draft, update, and maintain Singapore-specific compliance policies, procedures, controls descriptions, and governance documentation aligned with MAS requirements and SFA obligations.

• Support regulatory inspections and information requests by organizing documentation, validating evidence, and preparing accurate, concise responses.
• Lead compliance training and awareness initiatives, maintaining training materials and delivering risk-based training to relevant stakeholders.
