Circle is expanding its presence in South Korea and is currently hiring a Senior Director of Ecosystem Growth.

Stablecoin issuer Circle is moving to expand its stablecoin ecosystem presence in South Korea. The firm is developing a market entry strategy for the South Korean market and recruiting senior executives tasked with collaborating with financial and digital asset sectors, monitoring regulatory developments, and more, to deepen its ties with the country’s stablecoin market. Per a job posting released by Circle on September 28, the company is hiring a full-time permanent Senior Director of Ecosystem Growth in South Korea. The role requires candidates to have in-depth expertise in stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi), and institutional financial operations, and to research market trends across South Korea’s payments, digital asset capital markets, and institutional use cases. The position will also contribute to shaping Circle’s South Korea market entry strategy—including providing the firm’s sales and business development teams with local market and regulatory insights, and helping define business pipelines and market entry priorities based on that input. Additionally, the role will focus on building connections with South Korea’s financial and digital asset industries, sourcing market participants and ecosystem partners, and relaying South Korean market demands to Circle’s product, solutions, and operations teams.
