Responsibilities
Drive Growth of the Arc Network Ecosystem: Lead strategy and execution to scale developer and protocol adoption on Arc Network. You’ll define growth loops that increase the number and depth of integrations across DeFi protocols, wallets, and fintechs building on Arc
Expand Developer Adoption of Circle’s Platform Products: Accelerate usage of Arc Hub, CCTP, Gateway, Wallets, and numerous developer products by driving end-to-end developer engagement - from onboarding to activation to retention. You’ll identify friction points in developer journeys and design experiments, product surfaces, and incentives that drive meaningful adoption and usage growth
Enable user adoption of newly incubated consumer products: As Circle enables Arc Hub, Wallets with partners, and Bridge UI, you’ll drive awareness and adoption of specific first party and partners’ consumer products by developing awareness and constructing viral loops for adoption
Build for Network Effects Across Chains and Protocols: Collaborate with blockchain integration teams to expand Arc Network’s reach across L1s and L2s, enabling seamless cross-chain interoperability. Develop the product mechanisms, APIs, and growth strategies that create compounding value for every new developer and protocol joining the network
Create Scalable Growth Systems for Developers: Partner with Data Science, Growth Engineering, and Dev Rel to instrument funnel analytics, and usage telemetry across the Circle platform. Use insights to iterate on developer-facing features, SDKs, and dashboards that convert sign-ups into active, transacting users
Shape the Developer Experience and Ecosystem Narrative: Collaborate with Developer Relations, Product Marketing, and BD to accelerate Arc Network and Circle’s developer stack as the trusted infrastructure for building in onchain finance. You’ll help define how developers discover, understand, and integrate Circle’s platform, through docs, sandboxes, reference apps, and events
Coordinate Growth Initiatives Across Product Verticals: Work closely with PMs leading infrastructure products (USDC issuance, CCTP, and wallets) to ensure cohesive developer experiences and compounding platform effects. Align roadmap priorities to maximize platform stickiness and onchain liquidity growth
Lead Cross-Functional Execution at Scale: Partner across Engineering, Design, Compliance, and Operations to deliver growth-focused product releases and ecosystem partnerships that meet the highest bar for technical excellence, regulatory compliance, and user trust
