What you'll work on:

• Define and execute Circle's global fraud risk strategy, aligned with enterprise risk appetite, regulatory standards, and local licensing requirements (e.g., money transmission, e-money, payment services, and virtual asset regulations).

• Develop and maintain the enterprise fraud risk framework, policies, and controls, covering threats such as synthetic identity fraud, account takeovers, authorized push payment fraud, internal misconduct, social engineering, scams, and emerging typologies (e.g., deepfakes, AI-driven impersonation, mule networks).

• Lead the design and maintenance of Circle's documented Fraud Risk Management Program, addressing both internal and external fraud consistent with Circle's regulatory obligations across jurisdictions.

• Oversee a comprehensive fraud risk management program that demonstrates compliance with regulatory expectations, including those from FinCEN, OCC, FCA, MAS, AMF, ACPR, and other key global regulators.

• Lead fraud analytics and oversee detection systems and AI-driven tools to identify emerging patterns while minimizing false positives and customer friction.

• Ensure fraud risk management is embedded across Circle's control environment, including financial crime compliance (AML/CTF), cybersecurity, product risk, and operational resilience programs.

• Conduct fraud risk assessments across products, customer segments, channels, and geographies, ensuring risks are identified, mitigated, and reported to senior management and regulators where required.

• Define and monitor key fraud metrics (KPIs and KRIs) to assess performance, support enterprise risk reporting, and evidence compliance with ongoing regulatory obligations.

• Serve as a key liaison with regulators, law enforcement, and industry partners, representing Circle in fraud-related matters and ensuring Circle meets its regulatory disclosure, escalation, and remediation duties.

• Ensure the fraud program remains dynamic and continuously evolving, with regular effectiveness reviews, testing, and updates to reflect emerging threats, operational changes, and evolving regulatory expectations globally.

• Drive continuous improvement through root-cause analysis of incidents, technology innovation, and process optimization.

What you'll bring to Circle:

• 10+ years of experience in fraud risk management in fintech, payments, banking, or financial services.

• Strong understanding of fraud threats, including synthetic identities, deepfakes, account takeovers, scams, and transaction fraud.

• Proven experience managing fraud risk under global regulatory frameworks (e.g., U.S. AML Act, FinCEN guidance, PSD2, MiCA, UK Fraud Act, MAS PSN01, FATF standards).

• Hands-on experience with fraud detection systems, data analytics, and AI/ML-driven risk solutions.

• Demonstrated ability to assess risks, design controls, and deliver enterprise-level reporting aligned to regulatory expectations.
