As we grow as an organization, we're expanding into some of the world's strongest jurisdictions. Speed and efficiency are motivators for our success and our employees live by our company values: High Integrity, Future Forward, Multistakeholder, Mindful, and Driven by Excellence. We have built a flexible work environment where new ideas are encouraged and everyone is a stakeholder.\nCircle is building Arc, a blockchain purpose-built for stablecoin finance. On top of Arc, we are building a new consumer app designed to make onchain finance dramatically simpler and more useful for everyday users.\nAs a Principal Product Manager for Arc Consumer, you’ll help define what a great consumer experience built on stablecoins and blockchain infrastructure should look like. You’ll own the product strategy and roadmap for Arc’s consumer experience and work across Design, Engineering, Data, and the broader Circle organization to turn powerful onchain capabilities (like privacy and interoperability) into products that feel intuitive, trustworthy, and delightful.\nYou’ll deeply understand what users need on their first day, first week, and first month and build experiences that turn first-time users into engaged, long-term customers. You’ll obsess over the entire customer journey from discovery and onboarding to funding, transacting, exploring onchain applications, and coming back again and again.\nAs AI agents emerge as economic actors, you’ll define how consumers should use agents to achieve their financial goals.\nThis is a highly entrepreneurial role. You’ll be building a new consumer product from an early stage, with the opportunity to shape its product strategy, customer experience, and roadmap.\nWhat you’ll work on\nDefine the future of Arc consumer products. Set the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for a new consumer application built on Arc. Identify the highest-value problems we can solve for consumers and translate them into simple, compelling product experiences.\nMake onchain finance feel simple. Take capabilities that are powerful but often complex - wallets, stablecoins, swaps, cross-chain transfers, DeFi, payments, and other onchain applications - and turn them into experiences that mainstream consumers can confidently understand and use.\nBuild for a future of agentic finance. AI agents are emerging as economic actors. You’ll define how users discover, interact with, and delegate financial tasks to agents to achieve their financial goals.\nCreate products people come back to. Identify the core use cases and product loops that drive engagement, retention, and frequency. Develop experiences that give consumers compelling reasons to hold, move, spend, exchange, and use digital dollars and other digital assets on Arc.\nDevelop a deep understanding of our customers. Partner closely with User Research, Data Science, Design, and Engineering to understand user motivations, behaviors, and pain points. Spend time directly with customers and use qualitative research, analytics, and experimentation to inform product decisions.\nBuild with exceptional product craft. Partner deeply with Product Design to create experiences that are intuitive, trustworthy, fast, and delightful. Sweat the details across interaction design, information architecture, content, and the moments that build - or lose - customer trust.\nDrive growth through the product. Identify and build product mechanisms that improve acquisition, activation, engagement, and retention. Use experimentation and analytics to understand what works and systematically improve the customer journey. Work with Product Marketing, Communications, Growth, and other partners to bring new experiences to market, ensuring customers understand what we’ve built, why it matters, and how to use it.\nConnect to the broader onchain ecosystem. Define how consumers discover and interact with applications, assets, and experiences across Arc and the broader crypto ecosystem. Help create an experience where the value to consumers grows as the Arc ecosystem expands.\nLead cross-functional execution. Build strong partnerships across Engineering, Design, Research, Data Science, Marketing, Legal, Compliance, Risk, and Operations. Create clarity in ambiguous environments, align teams around priorities, and drive products from idea through launch and iteration.\nWhat you’ll bring to Circle\n10+ years of product management experience, with significant experience building and shipping high-quality consumer products.\nA demonstrated ability to take consumer products from concept to launch and grow them through rapid iteration.\nExceptional product judgment and a strong point of view about what makes a consumer product simple, intuitive, and delightful.\nDeep understanding of onchain products and culture, including wallets, stablecoins, DeFi, Trading, payments, and cross-chain experiences. You should be an active user of crypto products with strong opinions about what today’s experiences get right and what needs to be reinvented.\nStrong understanding of AI agents and agentic finance, with a point of view on how emerging agent capabilities can create fundamentally new consumer financial experiences.\nThe ability to operate at both levels required of a Principal product leader: setting high-level strategy while getting deeply involved in the details required to ship exceptional products.\nDeep curiosity about consumer behavior and an instinct for uncovering unmet customer needs. You will have deep experience working with Product Design and User Research, combined with strong analytical instincts and a track record of using research, product analytics, and experimentation to make better product decisions.\nExcellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to create alignment and drive execution across highly cross-functional teams.\nExperience building products in fintech, payments, crypto, trading, or other consumer financial services is strongly preferred.\nBachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, or a related technical or analytical field.\nCircle is on a mission to create an inclusive financial future, with transparency at our core.
