Circle hires for South Korea ecosystem growth role as it pursues local stablecoin partnerships

Stablecoin issuer Circle is recruiting a Senior Director, Ecosystem Growth, South Korea, according to a ChainCatcher report. The role is focused on building the company’s market-entry strategy in South Korea, tracking regulatory developments, and forming partnerships across the country’s financial and digital asset sectors. The job posting calls for candidates with more than 13 years of business development experience, along with familiarity with stablecoins, DeFi, and institutional liquidity flows. Korean and English fluency is also listed as a requirement. Circle has previously said its South Korea plan does not involve directly issuing a won-denominated stablecoin. Instead, the company said it aims to work with local KRW stablecoin issuers and provide infrastructure that connects them to U.S. dollar stablecoins.
