What you’ll be responsible for:

Circle is looking for a cross-functional, seasoned finance leader to support the development and implementation of Circle’s Investor Relations program.

Circle is one of the leading and highest profile companies in blockchain technology, which we believe will fundamentally change the financial services industry. Becoming a public company is a key element of Circle’s strategy and a successful public listing is a unique challenge for Circle’s Investor Relations.

Circle is an entirely novel, dynamic, evolving and complicated investment story with no public market comparables for investors and analysts to consider. A successful IPO will require investors to have a deep understanding of Circle's business, strategy, competitive positioning, and growth prospects. Most critically, investors must have confidence in Circle’s management team. Achieving all this will largely fall on the IR team and its ongoing engagement with investors and analysts.

This is a fast-paced and evolving role that demands an energetic and proactive candidate with a demonstrated strategic mindset, analytical capabilities, strength in time and project management, strong presentation skills, agility to succeed in a rapidly changing environment and credibility to confidentially engage with analysts, investors and senior management

• Crafting IR internal reporting for senior management.
• Leading IR’s role in assessing and developing ESG policies expected by public investors.
• Being prepared for any number of unexpected demands in the incredibly dynamic operating environment that Circle occupies.

• High Integrity - you seek open and honest communication, and you hold yourself to very high moral and ethical standards. You reject manipulation, dishonesty and intolerance.

What you’ll bring to Circle:

• 10+ years of experience in finance, with a strong track record in strategy/financial analysis.
• 5+ years of specific experience in investor relations or related areas (investment banking, sell side research, buy side portfolio management) preferred.
• Bachelor's degree in related field, Master’s degree preferred.
