Senior Director, Product Finance

As Senior Director of Product Finance at Circle, you serve as the strategic finance partner to the Product organization, working at the intersection of finance and product to shape how Circle evaluates, prioritizes, and invests in new product lines. Reporting to the SVP of Strategic Finance and partnering closely with the CFO, Chief Product Officer, and product leadership team, you bring analytical rigor and financial clarity to product strategy decisions at scale.

What you'll do

• Serve as the embedded strategic finance partner to the Chief Product Officer and product leadership team
• Own the financial evaluation of new product lines and launches from concept through post-launch, building business cases, unit-economics models, pricing frameworks, and revenue projections that equip leadership to make confident decisions
• Support financial planning for the Product organization through annual planning, quarterly forecasting, and long-range modeling, advising on investment trade-offs and resource allocation across the product portfolio
• Drive scenario analysis, sensitivity modeling, and market sizing to pressure-test assumptions and support capital allocation discussions with Circle's leadership team
• Conduct competitive benchmarking and market analysis to inform product investment theses, partnering with corporate development and strategic finance on M&A diligence or new market entries that intersect with the product roadmap
• Prepare and present compelling financial narratives that bring product strategy to life with financial clarity
• Develop financial performance dashboards and executive reporting for new and emerging product lines, leading variance analysis with clear, actionable commentary for senior leadership
• Build and scale the Product Finance function and establish repeatable financial processes and frameworks that make it faster and easier for product teams to access the insights they need

What you bring

• 13+ years of progressive experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, or management consulting
• Demonstrated track record as an embedded finance business partner with experience influencing roadmap and investment decisions at the C-suite level
• Experience building financial models and business cases for new product launches, including 0-1 products and new market entries, with strong command of unit economics, revenue modeling, and scenario analysis
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to distill complex financial analysis into clear, actionable narratives for both financial and non-financial audiences, including executive presentations
• A "roll-up-your-sleeves" mindset: you are as comfortable building a model yourself as you are presenting to the CFO or Chief Product Officer

Nice to have

• Background in digital assets, payments, fintech, or tech
