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. • Conceiving and building user experiences that deliver on our customers' needs by leveraging an innovative infrastructure for money. • Collaborating with senior product leadership and other product managers to align roadmaps and conceive projects that support product iterations. • Interacting with customers' business, finance and product teams to deeply understand their needs, and translate those into business cases, feature themes, product requirements and roadmaps. • Collaborating with various teams across Circle, sharing customer pain points and discussing new product ideas, communicating product vision, strategy and roadmaps, and gaining alignment as well as unblocking progress. • Partnering with product design leaders to imagine and define new experiences that are better, cheaper, faster and more interoperable than the current generation of financial services. • Categorizing customers' needs into segments, prioritizing initiatives according to business strategy, and maintaining an up-to-date product roadmap that delivers on the Circle product vision. • Working closely with legal and regulatory compliance teams at Circle to ensure appropriate alignment with regulatory requirements. • Managing multiple parallel projects and iterations alongside engineering, and ensuring timely delivery of feature releases.
