Head of Communications

About Base

Base is incubated within Coinbase with a bold mission: to bring a million developers and a billion users onchain. We believe the onchain platform is the most important builder platform since the internet itself. Our vision is for a platform that is open source, free to use, and globally available. To make this work, we need all hands on deck, working together to scale in a secure, decentralized, and easy-to-use way.

Base plans to progressively decentralize in the years ahead, as we believe decentralization is critical to creating an open, global crypto economy accessible to everyone. We live by a culture where the team rises to the challenge, embraces hard weeks, and makes personal tradeoffs when necessary to drive impact and innovation.

About the Role

We are looking for a Head of Communications to own the Base narrative and redefine what a modern communications function looks like. This is not a traditional PR role; you will be the architect of our external reputation, moving at the speed of crypto and operating fluently on Crypto Twitter.

You will serve as a trusted advisor to leadership, a bridge to mainstream tech and culture, and a pioneer in using AI to punch far above your weight class. Your mission is to take the Base story beyond the crypto bubble, translating onchain innovation into compelling narratives for mainstream tech, finance, and cultural audiences. You will work seamlessly with Marketing, Business Development, Social, and Coinbase Corporate Communications to break down silos and ensure the Base story is consistent across every touchpoint.

Hiring Process

Coinbase is piloting an AI tool based on machine learning technologies to conduct initial screening interviews for select roles. This tool simulates realistic interview scenarios and engages in dynamic conversation. A human recruiter will review your interview responses (voice recording and/or transcript) to assess them against the qualifications outlined in the job description. Additionally, an AI interview intelligence platform may be used to transcribe and summarize interview notes, allowing interviewers to fully focus on you. Please note that these pilots are for testing purposes, and Coinbase will not use AI to make final employment decisions.
