Regional Threat Assessment Manager

About the Role

As a Regional Threat Assessment Manager, you will be the subject matter expert for Threat Assessment and Management in your region, owning complex and sensitive threat cases from intake to closure. You will also be responsible for driving intelligence-led incident response and coordinating with cross-functional teams to ensure timely escalation and decision support.

The Protective Intelligence program is a critical component of Coinbase's Security organization, and the Regional Threat Assessment Manager will play a key role in helping to mature the program's regional capabilities. This will involve improving intake standards, QA/QC, playbooks, metrics, training, and handoff processes, as well as mentoring peers through expertise and influence.

What You Will Do

• Own end-to-end threat case management for your region, from intake and triage to behavioral assessment, mitigation planning, documentation, and closure.
• Lead structured behavioral threat assessments using Coinbase methodologies and accepted frameworks to evaluate motivation, capability, escalation indicators, and stabilizers.
• Drive intelligence-led incident response by serving as the intelligence lead during active incidents, coordinating with GSOC, ensuring timely escalation, and delivering decision support through resolution.
• Partner with Executive Protection, GSOC, Legal, HR/ER, Insider Threat, and Communications to coordinate response actions, align mitigations, and manage reporting obligations.
• Produce decision-ready briefings, written assessments, and executive updates that communicate threat posture, risk rationale, and recommended next steps to security leadership and cross-functional partners.
• Strengthen regional program maturity by improving intake standards, QA/QC, playbooks, metrics, training, and handoff processes.
• Mentor peers through expertise and influence to help develop their skills and knowledge.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that threat assessment and management efforts are aligned with overall business objectives.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest threats, trends, and best practices in threat assessment and management, and apply this knowledge to improve Coinbase's Protective Intelligence program.

What We Are Looking For

• 7+ years of progressively responsible experience in threat assessment and management, protective intelligence, workplace violence prevention, behavioral threat assessment, or closely related security functions.
• Demonstrated track record operating as a senior individual contributor and regional SME, independently owning ambiguous, high-consequence casework with limited oversight.
• Proven ability to conduct threat investigations and translate fragmented information into clear assessments, prioritized risks, and practical mitigation plans.
• Proficiency with case management and intelligence tools, such as Ontic, OSINT platforms, public records research, and social media monitoring.
• Experience coordinating with law enforcement, managing investigative referrals, and navigating workplace violence reporting obligations.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and adapt to changing priorities and deadlines.

• Knowledge of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, as well as the unique security challenges associated with these industries.
• Familiarity with Coinbase's Protective Intelligence program and its mission to protect employees, executives, and facilities from potential threats.
• Certification in threat assessment and management, such as the Certified Threat Manager (CTM) or the Certified Protection Professional (CPP).
