What you'll be part of: Circle is committed to visibility and stability in everything we do. 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. What you'll be responsible for: As the Senior Director, Arc - Agentic Commerce Strategy & GTM, you will define and execute Circle's strategy for agentic commerce, helping establish USDC, Arc, and the Circle Agent Stack as the default financial infrastructure for AI agents. Working across Ecosystems, Product, Developer Relations, Engineering, and Commercial leadership, you will identify the highest-value opportunities for agent-driven commerce, define the strategic roadmap for ecosystem adoption, architect partnership and growth programs, and influence the product investments required to accelerate adoption. This is not a traditional business development role. Success in this position comes from defining ecosystem strategy closely with relationship owners and commercial teams to build a category-defining ecosystem rather than executing individual transactions. You will build and scale the agentic commerce ecosystem on Arc, Circle's own blockchain - making it the chain where AI-driven commerce settles by default. Because Arc is infrastructure Circle owns end to end, your mandate is to deepen the surfaces that live on it: a marketplace with real supply depth, broad external adoption of the Agent Stack, and the design-partner integrations and product capabilities that make Arc the natural home for agentic transactions. Working across a network of AI builders, model providers, inference platforms, enterprises, developers, and ecosystem partners, you'll turn that network into durable, defensible advantage for Circle. What success looks like: Within your first 90 days, you will: Develop and socialize a comprehensive agentic commerce ecosystem strategy aligned across Product, Ecosystems, Developer Relations, and executive leadership. Identify priority demand channels, ecosystem partners, and platform integrations required to accelerate agentic USDC adoption. Establish strong working relationships across Product, Engineering, Developer Relations, Partnerships, and Commercial teams. Build alignment around ecosystem priorities, platform requirements, and partnership opportunities. Establish operating rhythms and ownership models across internal stakeholders supporting the agentic commerce strategy. Within your first 6-12 months, you will: Launch strategic ecosystem partnerships that drive measurable agentic transaction volume and usage of Circle Agent Stack products. Expand adoption of Agent Wallets, Nanopayments, Agent Marketplace, and related infrastructure across priority ecosystem participants. Influence product roadmap priorities that improve the competitiveness and adoption of Circle's agentic commerce infrastructure. Create repeatable ecosystem growth motions, partnership frameworks, and adoption programs that scale beyond individual relationships. Establish Circle as a leading platform for agent-driven commerce and payments. Develop a clear strategic bridge between agentic commerce, autonomous finance, and future agent-driven capital markets activity.
