Circle is a financial technology company at the epicenter of the emerging internet of money, where value can finally travel like other digital data — globally, nearly instantly and less expensively than legacy settlement systems. This ground-breaking new internet layer opens up previously unimaginable possibilities for payments, commerce and markets that can help raise global economic prosperity and enhance inclusion. Our infrastructure – including USDC, a blockchain-based dollar – helps businesses, institutions and developers harness these breakthroughs and capitalize on this major turning point in the evolution of money and technology.

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 and diverse work environment where new ideas are encouraged and everyone is a stakeholder.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

As a Program Manager focused on developer ecosystem programs, you will design, launch, and scale high-impact initiatives in partnership with education networks, hackathon platforms, accelerators, and regional partners. Your mission is to foster developer growth, engagement, and retention in the Arc and Circle ecosystems through partner-led activations. You will coordinate closely with ecosystem partners to co-launch developer-facing programs, support partner-driven events, and create structured pathways that bring new developers into long-term community participation. This role focuses on third-party-led initiatives, ensuring developers from these programs are meaningfully integrated into the Arc community.

What you'll work on

  • Execute Arc-specific partner programs by collaborating with education teams, accelerators, hackathon organizers, and regional partners to deliver high-quality activations
  • Work closely with Circle’s Developer Relations and Ecosystem Growth stakeholders in defining partner-focused strategies that drive Arc developer acquisition, engagement, and retention.
  • Support commercial partner initiatives by defining developer entry points and leading co-marketed programs such as hackathons, events, and mentorship opportunities.
  • Coordinate Arc partner-focused event programming, including ecosystem demos, developer showcases, and co-branded sessions at Circle-sponsored events. Own speaker preparation, run-of-show logistics, and post-event content capture and distribution.
  • Spotlight high-impact developers from partner initiatives through content campaigns and co-marketing in collaboration with Developer Relations and Community teams.
  • Track performance and feedback by defining clear goals, KPIs, and measurement frameworks for all partner programs. Ensure developer insights and feedback are streamlined to internal product teams and data systems.

What you'll bring to Circle

  • 7+ years of experience in program management, developer ecosystem operations, or partnerships.
  • Proven success driving developer-facing programs in collaboration with ecosystem partners such as accelerators, hackathon platforms, or education networks.
  • Strong ability to operationalize community growth strategies, with experience moving developers from acquisition to retention.
  • Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills, with a track record of working effectively with marketing, product, and external partners.
  • Outstanding organizational and communication skills, able to manage multiple partner initiatives with clarity and accountability.
  • Passion for developer ecosystems, community-building, and empowering developers to succeed on new technologies.

Preferred Requirements

  • Background in blockchain, or developer platform ecosystems.
  • Experience launching developer programs through hackathons, accelerators, or education partnerships.
  • Familiarity with developer community engagement models (mentorship, events, partner marketing, content campaigns).
  • Proficiency with program and workflow management tools (e.g., Airtable, Notion, Asana).
