We are looking for a Director of Belonging, Inclusion, and Diversity (BID) to join our Employee Experience team. This individual will be responsible for owning, executing and advancing our newly refreshed BID Strategy, which rests on the vision that every employee feels they belong and can succeed. They will build internal and external networks to progress this strategy, and increase belonging, inclusion and diversity across our global employee base. 

We are seeking an individual who thrives solving challenging problems, balances empathy and pragmatism, and is looking to define what the next generation of Diversity and Inclusion programs can look like at high growth tech and finance companies. We believe that it’s possible to be 100% committed to an inclusive workplace that values diversity where everyone is safe and belongs (and as part of that, working to root out and eliminate any intolerance or bias that exists at the company), and simultaneously maintain laser focus on our mission. To this end, we have made a public stance that Coinbase won’t issue external statements on topics beyond the scope of our mission of building a more open financial system and expanding economic freedom, while also redoubling our commitment to making the company an amazing place to work for all employees, regardless of background. We’re excited to find a future leader who runs towards challenging problems and can help us craft innovative solutions to build a new and better future. 

Lastly, we are seeking an individual who can connect the practices of BID with the needs of the business. This role is critical for Coinbase because we believe BID programming is critical to attract and retain top talent, which is critical to building the products and technology of the future. In other words: BID creates business value. We’re excited to find a candidate who feels the same.
