The Coinbase Customer Experience (CX) organization is on a mission to provide the most trusted and value-added customer support in crypto. That mission starts with truly world-class social support: fast, empathetic, secure, and proactive. As Head of Social Support, you’ll build and lead the teams that respond to users in the wild—across Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and wherever else crypto conversations happen. And because every public support interaction is also a brand moment, you’ll work hand-in-glove with our Comms team to ensure we speak with one voice: clear, empathetic, credible, and aligned to Coinbase’s values. This is a role for someone who thrives in high-visibility, high-stakes environments, and who sees every customer interaction as an opportunity to reinforce our mission. This role will be embedded within the Customer Experience (CX) organization, working at the intersection of product and support to transform the customer experience.
