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

What you’ll be responsible for

As Lead, Third Party Security, you will be a key member of Circle’s Security team, responsible for advancing how we assess and manage security risk across our global ecosystem of partners, vendors, and other third parties. You will lead complex security assessments while building automation, AI-enabled tooling, and intelligence-driven workflows that make our third party security program faster, smarter, and more scalable. Working across Security Engineering, Legal, Procurement, and business teams, you will help embed security into third party decision-making and evolve the program from manual, point-in-time reviews toward proactive, continuous risk management.

What you’ll work on

  • Lead complex technical security assessments of partners, vendors, and third party integrations, translating findings into pragmatic, risk-based recommendations.
  • Evolve Circle’s third party security assessment program from document-centric reviews toward a dynamic, scalable, and continuously adaptive capability.
  • Design and build AI-enabled tooling and automation for evidence analysis, risk identification, monitoring, scoring, and assessment workflows.
  • Establish proactive monitoring approaches that identify and prioritize emerging security risks across Circle’s third party ecosystem.
  • Partner with Security Engineering, Legal, Procurement, and business teams to define and apply security requirements throughout third party onboarding and ongoing oversight.
  • Communicate material third party security risks, control gaps, and recommendations clearly to technical stakeholders, business partners, and senior leaders.
  • Identify opportunities to improve third party security methodologies, standards, tooling, and processes while increasing assessment quality and reducing manual effort.

What you’ll bring to Circle

Core Requirements

  • 7+ years of relevant experience in cybersecurity, technology risk, or compliance, including meaningful experience with third party or vendor security assessments.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently lead complex security assessments and evaluate control effectiveness beyond questionnaire or compliance-based reviews.
  • Technical depth across areas such as cloud security, API security, network architecture, identity and access management, and cryptography.
  • Hands-on experience using AI, GenAI, automation, or internally developed tooling to improve security, risk, or compliance workflows.
  • Experience modernizing security, risk, or compliance programs through automation, improved methodologies, or process redesign.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate complex security risks into clear recommendations for technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Requirements

  • Experience in financial services, fintech, digital assets, or another highly regulated industry.
  • Familiarity with third party risk and security frameworks or standards such as DORA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or relevant regulatory guidance.
  • Familiarity with blockchain and digital asset technologies, including crypto-native vendors, wallets, smart contracts, or decentralized infrastructure.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
