Responsibilities

• Define and execute Circle’s strategy for the agentic economy, 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 economic activity, define the strategic roadmap for ecosystem adoption, architect partnership and growth programs, and influence the product investments required to accelerate adoption.
• You will build and scale the agentic economy ecosystem on Arc, Circle’s own blockchain – making it the chain where the agentic economy 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, cloud and data center companies, enterprises, developers, and ecosystem partners, you’ll turn that network into durable, defensible advantage for Circle.
• Within your first 90 days, you will: - Develop and socialize a comprehensive agentic economy 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 economy strategy.
