Ready to do the most impactful work of your career?
At Coinbase, we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom. The bar is high, the environment is intense, and we like it that way. This isn't a place for complacency, it’s a place to be pushed past your perceived limits. If you're ready to build the future of finance alongside people who refuse to settle for "good enough," you belong here. Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Expect to get together quarterly for intense in-person working sessions called “surges.”
About the Role
As a Prime Sales Trader on the Institutional Prime Trading team, you'll help grow one of Coinbase's most strategically important businesses by delivering best-in-class execution and liquidity solutions to the world's most sophisticated institutional clients. Our clients include asset managers, hedge funds, VCs, family offices, pensions, and endowments across both crypto-native and traditional finance. You'll drive trading volume, deepen counterparty relationships, and shape how institutional clients experience Coinbase's execution services across spot and derivatives markets.
What you'll do
- Drive increased trading volume by understanding clients' liquidity needs, proactively identifying how high-touch and low-touch execution services can meet those needs, and providing real-time support for execution and market color.
- Build and maintain trusted counterparty relationships through quality execution, daily market updates on liquidity and flow thematics, and consistent, high-quality service delivery.
- Partner with Sales, Financing, and Account Management teams to identify, onboard, and monetize new client relationships, proactively surfacing business opportunities across Coinbase's institutional product suite.
- Provide structured feedback from clients and the broader marketplace to institutional Product Managers, guiding new product development across spot trading and financing.
- Maintain a real-time pulse on market sentiment, trading activity, and client positioning, keeping relevant internal teams informed to support strategic decision-making.
