Sr. Manager, Data Science and Analytics - Payments

Circle is a financial technology company at the epicenter of the emerging internet of money, where value can travel globally, nearly instantly and less expensively than legacy settlement systems.

Our infrastructure – including USDC, a blockchain-based dollar – helps businesses, institutions and developers harness these breakthroughs and capitalize on this turning point in money and technology.

You will work with data scientists to understand the payments ecosystem, build automated processes for compliance, and measure the impact of our efforts.

The team has a mix of senior contributors and early-career members. You should have a variety of management skills and help people grow. You will collaborate with cross-functional partners to ensure data informs the best decisions. You will have the opportunity to influence product and compliance strategy and drive business decisions in partnership with product and compliance teams.
