As Manager, GRM AI Transformation, you will help lead the reinvention of how Circle’s Global Risk Management (GRM) organization operates — moving it from today’s manually intensive processes to an AI-native operating model in which intelligent agents run core workflows end to end, and people focus on judgment, oversight, and the highest-stakes decisions. Reporting to the leader of GRM’s AI transformation, you will partner with process owners across compliance, financial crime, security, financial risk, and enterprise risk to define an ambitious vision for every process, challenge long-held assumptions about how the work must be done, and translate that vision into a portfolio of AI applications and reusable capabilities that scale across the organization.

This role sits at the intersection of business process transformation, risk management, and applied AI: you will drive change management and the mindset shifts it requires, stand up the shared building blocks and guardrails that make AI safe and responsible, and coordinate closely with Circle’s central AI team and AI leaders across the company to advance an enterprise-wide transformation. Success means a GRM that decouples business growth from headcount, moves at machine speed, and preserves the risk-management discipline and controls that Circle’s customers, regulators, and markets rely on.

• Lead workshops and working sessions with GRM process owners to reimagine their processes from first principles and define an ambitious AI-native “future state” vision for each one.
• Challenge long-held assumptions and drive the mindset shift from “today’s processes with AI added on” to processes designed natively around intelligent agents — bringing rigorous business-process-optimization and transformation discipline to the effort.
• Help build GRM into an AI-native organization whose core processes are led by agents, with people focused on judgment, exceptions, and oversight.
• Champion consistent execution of Circle's AI Risk Management framework across all GRM AI developments — ensuring every AI-native process is risk-assessed, appropriately controlled, and shipped with the guardrails and human-in-the-loop oversight needed to keep AI safe, responsible, explainable, and auditable.
• Help shape GRM’s AI-native vision and target architecture, including a foundation of reusable “primitives” — modular capabilities that provide common functionality once and are leveraged by many different business processes rather than rebuilt for each.
• Champion a “build once, reuse everywhere” model, prioritizing and sequencing these foundational building blocks so they unlock and accelerate the broader portfolio of process-level AI initiatives.
• Drive the development of the AI applications most pivotal to GRM’s transformation — from scoping and requirements through build, testing, launch, adoption, and measurable impact.
• Translate risk and compliance domain needs into clear solution designs, success criteria, and outcomes, partnering closely with process owners, builders, and…
