What You'll Be Part Of
This is not a traditional BCP role - it's an opportunity to redefine resilience for a financial system that operates 24/7, without pause.
As the Senior Manager, Global Head of Business Continuity & Operational Resilience , you will be a key member of the Global Risk Management (GRM) Security team, owning the resilience of the critical processes and infrastructure that power internet-native finance. You will ensure that our systems, teams, and partners can withstand disruption, adapt in real time, and continue operating seamlessly across a global, always-on blockchain ecosystem.
You will lead the strategic evolution of Circle's resiliency program beyond traditional business continuity planning - static playbooks, periodic testing, and manual processes - into a dynamic, intelligence-driven resilience capability. You will integrate advanced analytics and AI to continuously assess risk, surface emerging vulnerabilities, and enable faster, more informed decision-making before disruptions occur.
You will partner across engineering, operations, security, and business teams to embed resilience into how Circle builds and scales-driving business impact analysis, scenario testing, and crisis readiness at a level that matches the speed and complexity of digital assets.
Ultimately, your mission will be to transform operational resilience from a control function into a strategic advantage - one that not only protects Circle, but positions us to lead the industry in how modern financial platforms anticipate, absorb, and outpace disruption.
