As an Associate, Broker Dealer Operations, you'll join the Coinbase Capital Markets team within Finance and help run the daily operational engine behind our U.S. equities brokerage experience.

Support customer account onboarding and maintenance workflows, including documentation review, status follow-up, and exception escalation.

Process inbound and outbound securities transfers (ACATs) end-to-end, from intake review and eligibility checks through submission, tracking, and exception resolution.

Monitor operational alerts and exception queues, prioritize customer- and risk-impacting issues, and coordinate remediation across Engineering, Product, Trading, CX, Compliance, Finance, and Apex.

Support corporate action operations by reviewing event notices, monitoring deadlines, validating allocations, and investigating post-event discrepancies.

Required skills and experience:

2+ years in financial services operations, brokerage operations, clearing and settlement, trade support, or a related operational control function.

Working knowledge of U.S. equities trade lifecycle concepts, including order processing, settlement, positions, cash movements, corporate actions, and account transfers.

Demonstrated experience investigating data breaks or operational exceptions across multiple systems and driving issues to documented resolution.

Proven ability to follow documented procedures consistently in a regulated environment while exercising sound judgment on exceptions outside the runbook.

Familiarity with clearing platforms (e.g., Apex Clearing), Jira, SQL, or workflow-automation tools used in brokerage operations.
