Deal Lead, HR M&A & International Expansion

Program Manager, HR M&A

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. 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. While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported. We are seeking a dynamic Program Manager to join Coinbase's HR M&A team to support execution of our M&A and global expansion initiatives. In this role, you will play a crucial part in completing HR diligence, integrating acquired companies, managing people risks and processes, and ensuring a seamless transition post-acquisition. Additionally, you will support Coinbase's international growth by establishing hiring frameworks, conducting risk assessments, and providing operational support for new entities.

What you'll be doing :

• End-to-end HR M&A execution : Drive end-to-end execution of HR deliverables in the M&A lifecycle from pre-deal diligence through post-close integration, including interviews, org design, talent mapping, and compensation / benefit review.
• Project management : Own project plans, timelines, and documentation to keep stakeholders aligned on simultaneous deals with a structured, high-velocity approach.
• Cross-functional partnership : Act as the day-to-day point of contact across Corp Dev, Legal, Finance, and other HR COEs (e.g., Total Rewards, Talent Acquisition, People Ops) across M&A lifecycle.
• Risk identification & mitigation : Proactively identify people-related risks, navigate complex compliance and employment law landscapes, and develop compliant solutions.
• Integration planning & execution : Build and manage integration plans (onboarding plans, communications, etc.) that balance business continuity with cultural alignment.

What we look for in you :
