About the Role

Circle is building the foundation of a more open, global economy through digital assets, payment applications, and programmable blockchain infrastructure. As a Principal Product Manager, you will define and own the product strategy for Wallets, shaping the infrastructure and platform capabilities that power Circle’s next generation of stablecoin, payments, custody, and developer products. You will identify customer problems and use cases, establish a coherent strategy across various wallet models, and translate that strategy into differentiated products. You will also help define what wallets become in an agentic world, establishing the primitives, permissions, policies, and safeguards that enable AI agents to securely hold, manage, and transact value.

Responsibilities

  • Own Circle’s Wallets product strategy and roadmap, prioritizing customer segments, use cases, wallet models, and shared platform capabilities.
  • Lead customer discovery and validation with prospective customers, design partners, and lighthouse customers.
  • Define the strategy for institutional custody and secure wallet capabilities.
  • Shape Circle’s agent-ready wallet strategy, including scoped permissions, programmable policies, and safeguards for autonomous transaction execution.
  • Partner across engineering, security, cryptography, compliance, risk, legal, custody, payments, and commercial teams to turn complex technical and regulatory constraints into scalable product solutions.
  • Drive platform investments that accelerate chain expansion, reduce cost and complexity of launching new wallet use cases, and improve reliability.
  • Define and own Wallets success measures across customer and developer adoption, reliability, launch readiness, chain expansion velocity, cost efficiency, operational leverage, and risk reduction.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of relevant product management experience, including significant experience with crypto, fintech, payments, custody, blockchain infrastructure, developer platforms, or security-sensitive financial products.
  • Deep expertise in digital wallets, including custodial and non-custodial models, key management, transaction signing, smart accounts or account abstraction, recovery, gas abstraction, and wallet security.
  • Proven success defining strategy and driving adoption for highly technical platform products.
  • Strong technical fluency across blockchain infrastructure, including EVM and non-EVM ecosystems, transaction lifecycles, smart contracts, protocol upgrades, APIs, and SDKs.
  • Strong understanding of AI and agentic systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence executives and senior cross-functional stakeholders while making critical tradeoffs.
