Job Description

Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.

To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

As Associate Creative Director in Coinbase’s Creative Studio, you are at the forefront of the most dynamic space in creative marketing. The team operates at the intersection of crypto, culture, community, technology, policy and finance. Reporting to the Group Creative Director your remit is to embrace every opportunity to define, refine, reinvent, and introduce the Coinbase brand and our products to the world, including policy and institutional audiences. You’ll be at the center of the action, both solving specific briefs and delivering proactive ideas that are design to inform and inspire policy and regulatory progress in the crypto space – you’ll be hands-on with the work, prototyping your thinking in a work culture that embraces ideas and creativity over decks and consensus.

You’ll partner with creatives, strategists, creative producers, marketers, and operations leads to develop and deliver industry-leading creative. You'll be working with our roster of global agencies and production companies, as well as with a growing team of internal creatives to solve complex briefs and deliver beautifully crafted, timely work that breaks the rules of branding.

You will collaborate deeply with cross-functional peers in Marketing, Product, Design, and Business Development to bring our brand and products to life around the world. Your work will show both consumers and lawmakers the value that the crypto economy has in our country’s future. To do all of this well you’ll be teacher and student simultaneously, learning the evolving nuances of web3 and crypto, educating people on the principles of the technologies the community is building, and connecting our vision for increased economic freedom to the everyday lives of people all over the world.

Above all, you will lead by example by making the most of every opportunity to develop breakthrough creative, and to contribute your creative skills to the establishment of a new global industry.

What you’ll be doing:

• Foster and grow the brand through creative work that is timely, breakthrough, and conceptually excellent.
• Partner deeply with cross-functional peers to build long-term creative collaborations that grow the business and break the rules of branding.
• Lead creative partnerships of all kinds (agencies, production companies, internal creative teams) to breakthrough work.
• Mentor developing talent, set a high bar for creative excellence, contribute to a creative culture that people want to join.
• Jump on every opportunity to refine, evolve, and grow the brand.

What we look for in you:

• 8+ years experience as a creative practitioner, preferably as a copywriter in a high functioning, creatively excellent team environments.
• Awards, accolades, and a portfolio full of visionary work, along with a humble approach to doing the work that balances the accolades.
• A strategic point of view matched with proven hands-on creative craft.
