Coinbase is seeking a Senior Compliance Associate to join its Luxembourg Compliance team as a strategic advisor and key second-line defender. This role is critical for maintaining Coinbase's compliance framework across one of its most important European entities, ensuring alignment with regulatory obligations and scaling compliance posture alongside business growth.
Key responsibilities include leading the drafting, maintenance, and updating of local compliance policies and frameworks to align with EU and Luxembourg regulatory requirements and group-level standards. You will own the Compliance Monitoring Plan, executing thematic reviews across key regulatory obligations in partnership with the Central Compliance Testing & Assurance team to ensure consistent second-line coverage and methodology.
The role involves driving regulatory engagement support by preparing materials for inspections, regulatory queries, and governance bodies, while coordinating annual regulatory reports such as AML Risk Assessments, RC Reports, and Annual Compliance Summary Reports. You will execute consumer protection monitoring across conflict of interest, transparency, and disclosure requirements, and support Compliance by Design reviews for new products and services.
Additional responsibilities include supporting the coordination and handling of regulatory reporting obligations, liaising with data teams and stakeholders for timely reporting, and assisting the Chief Compliance Officer in overseeing effective AML/CFT implementation, regulatory horizon scanning, and impact assessments for emerging laws and regulations.
Required qualifications include 5+ years of compliance experience within an EU-regulated financial institution (e-money institution, payment institution, bank, or MiFID II-regulated entity) with progressive responsibility across multiple compliance disciplines. You must demonstrate working knowledge of EU financial regulations including MiCA, PSD2, AMLD, MiFID II, DORA, and GDPR, with experience applying them to policy drafting, monitoring plans, and regulatory reporting.
You should have a proven track record of preparing materials for and supporting direct engagement with regulators, auditors, and internal governance bodies, along with experience leading compliance monitoring and testing programs and conducting thematic reviews with documented findings and remediation tracking. Fluency in English is required; proficiency in French is a strong advantage for engaging with Luxembourg regulators and local stakeholders. Familiarity with crypto assets and crypto-related regulatory frameworks (e.g., MiCA implementation) is preferred. The role requires responsible use of generative AI while maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
This is a hybrid role requiring 3-5 days in office per week.
