Reporting to our VP of Partnerships and Creator Growth, you’ll work closely with our founders and leadership team, as well as teammates across Community, Events, Product Marketing, Partnerships, and our Design Studio, to help Circle show up on social with more clarity, consistency, and ambition.\n\nThis is a remote role, which requires travel up to 25% of the time.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL BE DOING\n\n - Execute Circle’s social content strategy across channels, helping translate direction into strong, platform-native output.\n\n - Produce and publish social-first content with a strong emphasis on short-form video.\n\n - Edit video independently, including cutting clips, shaping hooks, writing captions, and packaging content for distribution.\n\n - Build and maintain the content operating rhythm, including calendar management, capture workflows, and coordination across teams.\n\n - Partner with leadership and other stakeholders to identify content opportunities tied to partnerships, events, community, and customer stories.\n\n - Collaborate on longer-form content development so shoots are designed with short-form distribution in mind from the start.\n\n - Attend Circle’s events and key moments to capture content and support Circle’s presence on social (this role will require travel up to 25% of the time).\n\n - Track leading indicators like non-follower reach, watch-through, saves, shares, and cadence consistency, and use them to improve execution over time.\n\n - Bring practical recommendations on formats, workflows, and content opportunities based on what’s working.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL\n\n - Experience creating content for a tech, SaaS, creator economy, or community-led brand, with a clear understanding of how those audiences engage with social content.\n\n - Video editing and production skills, including the ability to work independently in Adobe Premiere or a comparable professional editing tool to create polished short-form content quickly.\n\n - Deep fluency across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn, with a solid grasp of what each platform is rewarding and how non-follower reach compounds over time.\n\n - A clear point of view on what earns attention on social, with the ability to identify what’s working, what isn’t, and why.\n\n - Awareness of the social and creator economy landscape, including fluency in how brands in our space are showing up today and what separates the ones that break through.\n\n - Comfort being on camera when needed and capturing content independently in a fully remote environment.\n\n - Operational instincts and the ability to build repeatable systems for planning, capture, and cross-functional coordination.\n\n - Good judgment in cross-functional environments, with a clear understanding of how to support a long-term social strategy centered on non-follower reach and the ability to recognize when requests may conflict with those goals.\n\n - Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English (CEFR C2 or equivalent), as most collaboration at Circle happens asynchronously.\n\n \n\n\nCOMPENSATION & BENEFITS\n\nCircle offers U.S.-benchmarked compensation globally, equity in the company, 35 days of paid time off each year, and more.\n\nWe’re a remote-only team that comes together twice a year for company retreats in incredible destinations around the world. Alongside incredible flexibility and autonomy, we offer a benefits package that supports health, wellbeing, and professional growth.

They're looking for growth, connection, and transformation — experiences that change how they see themselves and the world. Circle is where they find that. Not another platform optimizing for clicks and consumption — a place built around becoming something.</p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">Discover is where Circle becomes visible to the world — the surface where creators get found and people find experiences worth their time. It's a two-sided marketplace problem spanning communities, courses, events, and more. And it's one of the most genuinely interesting design challenges on the platform.</p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"></p><h2>About the role</h2><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">You'll own Discover end-to-end as the lead designer: identifying opportunities, setting design direction, and shipping work that raises the bar for how discovery feels at Circle. You'll work closely with a founder-led product team that has strong vision and high standards — and you'll bring the craft, the systems thinking, and the bottom-up ideas that make that vision real.</p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">You'll be joining a design team where context is shared openly, ownership is real, and talented people are trusted to do their best work.</p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><em>This role is for designers with deep experience in consumer marketplace products — owning discovery, ranking, and engagement at scale; if your background is primarily in internal tools, CMS platforms, or growth systems, this role will not be a fit — please apply to our </em><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https://circle.so/careers/greenhouse--5153629008\"><em>Core Product</em></a><em> role instead.</em></p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"></p><h2>The problem you'll be solving</h2><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">Discovery is one of the hardest design problems. You're serving two audiences with opposing needs simultaneously: creators who need visibility, trust signals, and growth; and consumers who need signal through noise, confidence to commit, and experiences that deliver on their promise.</p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">What makes this genuinely novel is AI as the core interaction model — not a filter or a recommendation widget, but the primary way Discover understands intent and surfaces what's worth someone's time. How does an AI-driven experience build trust in a marketplace? How do you make an AI-driven surface feel like a trusted recommendation from someone who knows you, not a ranked list from a system that doesn't? These are real open questions, and the quality of the answers will show up directly in the product.</p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"></p><h2>What you'll be doing</h2><ul style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Own Discover's design end-to-end.</strong> Identify opportunities, frame problems, set design direction, and ship. You connect dots across the platform — understanding how a community business compound product feeds into what Discover surfaces — and you make that systems understanding visible in every design decision.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Design AI-driven discovery experiences.</strong> The new world UX is conversational and relational. You'll design the interfaces, curation experiences, and trust signals that make AI-driven discovery feel effortless — building the relationship between the platform, creators, and members in ways that feel human, not algorithmic.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Serve both sides of the market.</strong> You understand what makes a marketplace work at a systems level — how creator visibility gets earned, how consumer confidence gets built, how one broken experience erodes trust on both sides. That understanding drives your design decisions, not just your surface-level execution.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Prototype at speed.</strong> You use AI-assisted tools — Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Lovable — because you've already figured out it's how ideas get stress-tested fast. You stay in the problem through to launch, working closely with engineers to close the gap between concept and shipped experience.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Mentor and elevate.</strong> You raise the craft standard on Discover through the quality of your own work and how you develop designers alongside you. </p></li></ul><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"></p><h2>What you'll need to be successful</h2><ul style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">Strong alignment with our values, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https://circle.so/careers\">find our values on our career page</a> if you haven’t read up on them yet</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">You are proficient in English (spoken, written, and reading) at a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https://magoosh.com/english-speaking/english-proficiency-levels-a-guide-to-determining-your-level/\">CEFR Level C2</a> / <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https://www.govtilr.org/\">ILR Level 5</a>.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Marketplace or two-sided platform experience — this is a hard requirement.</strong> You've designed for both sides of a market.

We make it possible for creators, coaches, educators, and businesses to bring together their audience with engaging discussions, live streams, events, chat, courses, and payments — all in one place, all under their own brand.\n\nWe’re proud to be a fully remote company of around 270 (and growing!) team members from 30+ countries around the world. We seek exceptional individuals around the world, set them up to do the best work of their lives, and in turn, create a meaningful impact in their own lives. We don't track hours, but we do manage for high expectations very closely. We collaborate across time zones, are highly async, and like to document a lot.\n\nTwice a year, we bring the whole company together in beautiful places around the world for our company offsites. So far, we’ve hosted offsites in Turkey, Portugal, Mexico, Thailand, Colombia, Italy, Ireland, and more, with still more to come!\n\nCheck out our Careers https://careers.circle.so/ page for more about working at Circle.\n\n\nABOUT DISCOVER\n\nPeople are looking for more than content. They're looking for growth, connection, and transformation — experiences that change how they see themselves and the world. Circle is where they find that. Not another platform optimizing for clicks and consumption — a place built around becoming something.\n\nDiscover is where Circle becomes visible to the world — the surface where creators get found and people find experiences worth their time. It's a two-sided marketplace problem spanning communities, courses, events, and more. And it's one of the most genuinely interesting design challenges on the platform.\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE ROLE\n\nYou'll own Discover end-to-end as the lead designer: identifying opportunities, setting design direction, and shipping work that raises the bar for how discovery feels at Circle. You'll work closely with a founder-led product team that has strong vision and high standards — and you'll bring the craft, the systems thinking, and the bottom-up ideas that make that vision real.\n\nYou'll be joining a design team where context is shared openly, ownership is real, and talented people are trusted to do their best work.\n\nThis role is for designers with deep experience in consumer marketplace products — owning discovery, ranking, and engagement at scale; if your background is primarily in internal tools, CMS platforms, or growth systems, this role will not be a fit — please apply to our Core Product https://circle.so/careers/greenhouse--5153629008 role instead.\n\n\n\n\nTHE PROBLEM YOU'LL BE SOLVING\n\nDiscovery is one of the hardest design problems. You're serving two audiences with opposing needs simultaneously: creators who need visibility, trust signals, and growth; and consumers who need signal through noise, confidence to commit, and experiences that deliver on their promise.\n\nWhat makes this genuinely novel is AI as the core interaction model — not a filter or a recommendation widget, but the primary way Discover understands intent and surfaces what's worth someone's time. How does an AI-driven experience build trust in a marketplace? How do you make an AI-driven surface feel like a trusted recommendation from someone who knows you, not a ranked list from a system that doesn't? These are real open questions, and the quality of the answers will show up directly in the product.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL BE DOING\n\n - Own Discover's design end-to-end. Identify opportunities, frame problems, set design direction, and ship. You connect dots across the platform — understanding how a community business compound product feeds into what Discover surfaces — and you make that systems understanding visible in every design decision.\n\n - Design AI-driven discovery experiences. The new world UX is conversational and relational. You'll design the interfaces, curation experiences, and trust signals that make AI-driven discovery feel effortless — building the relationship between the platform, creators, and members in ways that feel human, not algorithmic.\n\n - Serve both sides of the market. You understand what makes a marketplace work at a systems level — how creator visibility gets earned, how consumer confidence gets built, how one broken experience erodes trust on both sides. That understanding drives your design decisions, not just your surface-level execution.\n\n - Prototype at speed. You use AI-assisted tools — Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Lovable — because you've already figured out it's how ideas get stress-tested fast. You stay in the problem through to launch, working closely with engineers to close the gap between concept and shipped experience.\n\n - Mentor and elevate. You raise the craft standard on Discover through the quality of your own work and how you develop designers alongside you. \n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL\n\n - Strong alignment with our values, find our values on our career page https://circle.so/careers if you haven’t read up on them yet\n\n - You are proficient in English (spoken, written, and reading) at a CEFR Level C2 https://magoosh.com/english-speaking/english-proficiency-levels-a-guide-to-determining-your-level/ / ILR Level 5 https://www.govtilr.org/.\n\n - Marketplace or two-sided platform experience — this is a hard requirement. You've designed for both sides of a market. You know what breaks trust and what builds it. Your portfolio shows you shaped outcomes, not just interfaces.\n\n - 5+ years of product design experience, including shipped 0→1 work, complex multi-user flows, and clear evidence that you drove product direction — not just executed it.\n\n - Experience as the most senior designer on a product area — setting direction, making tradeoffs, and owning outcomes without constant guidance.\n\n - Genuine fluency with AI-assisted prototyping. You build realistic prototypes yourself using tools like Cursor, Claude Code, v0, or Lovable. This is how you think, not just how you produce. You can speak concretely about your process.\n\n - Proficiency in Figma for high-fidelity design and cross-functional collaboration.\n\n - Proactive communication. You share your thinking before you're asked, surface decisions early, give real opinions, and keep your team informed without being prompted. At Circle, communication is how trust gets built and work gets shipped.\n\n - Comfort designing in ambiguity. Discover is still taking shape. You build conviction through iteration, not by waiting for perfect requirements.\n\n\n\n\nCOMPENSATION & BENEFITS\n\nWe are hiring at a Lead level for this role; however, we may consider offering this position at the Senior level depending on a candidate’s experience level alignment with the role. In either case, the offer would fall within the published compensation range.\n\nCircle offers U.S.-benchmarked compensation globally, equity in the company with ongoing refresh grants, and 35 days of paid time off each year.\n\nWe’re a remote-only team that comes together twice a year for company retreats in incredible destinations around the world. Alongside incredible flexibility and autonomy, we offer a benefits package that supports health, wellbeing, and professional growth.

You believe every word, visual, and detail matters. You have an exceptionally high creative bar, thrive in highly collaborative environments, and know how to influence people through the quality of the work itself.</p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">As Circle’s first Creative Director, you’ll first and foremost act as a creative extension of the founders. You will turn their ideas, product strategy, and company vision into narratives that are clear, memorable, and unmistakably Circle across all our assets.</p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">On a day-to-day basis, you’ll work closely with Circle’s founders and across our in-house design studio, product marketing, paid media, video, and events teams to elevate our storytelling and creative execution across every major moment.</p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Your goal is to help make Circle one of the most creatively distinct and definitive companies in the category of digital businesses.</strong></p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"></p><h2>What you'll be doing</h2><ul style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Shape Circle’s narrative.</strong> Work closely with Circle’s founders to synthesize, sharpen, and evolve the story behind our long-term vision, and translate it into clear, compelling narratives that can travel across everything we do.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Own the creative direction of our biggest launches and campaigns.</strong> Find the angle, develop the brief, shape the story, and obsess over how we make each moment stand out. You’ll partner closely with Product Marketing across launches, announcements, demos, and enablement to ensure everything feels cohesive, intentional, and unmistakably Circle. Doing this well requires developing a deep understanding of our product, customers, and market.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Be a deeply embedded creative marketing partner to our design studio.</strong> You’ll work especially closely with our Design Studio, which is led by one of Circle’s co-founders and won’t report to you. Success here involves shared taste, mutual trust, healthy creative tension, and the ability to move quickly together. You’ll occasionally lead external agencies as well — and when the moment calls for it, write the high-stakes copy yourself: the headline, manifesto, launch script, or line someone delivers on stage.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Raise the bar on our advertising and creative campaigns.</strong> Develop the concepts and narratives behind Circle’s ad creative, partnering up our Paid Acquisition team to turn them into high-performing campaigns. They’ll bring the channel and media-buying expertise; while you can make sure the creative is worth paying to distribute.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Direct how our stories come to life across video and events.</strong> Get hands-on with scripts, structure, pacing, and narrative for launch films, social, ads, virtual summits, and other major moments. You won’t be editing videos or producing events yourself, but you’ll understand the craft well enough to have strong opinions about what works in each medium, and collaborate deeply with the specialists who bring it to life.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Influence the narrative behind brand experiences people remember across our webinars, virtual summits, conferences, and live events to align with company brand vision.</strong> This includes everything from the theme and programming to the booth, talks, slides, copy, and small details nobody else would think to obsess over.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Turn partnerships into stories.</strong> Work with our Partnerships team to make more of our collaborations with creators and customers into stories we can distribute across our channels. You can help develop the concept, framing, name, narrative, and creative execution behind our biggest partnerships, and helping our partners tell those stories powerfully themselves.</p></li></ul><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"></p><h2>What we're looking for</h2><ul style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>A body of work you’re genuinely proud of.</strong> We care far more about what you’ve made than the titles you’ve held or the number of years you’ve been doing it. You should be able to walk us through your best work piece by piece: the problem, the idea, the choices you made, what you personally contributed, and ultimately, whether it worked.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Exceptional creative taste and judgment.</strong> You know great work when you see it, can articulate <em>why</em> it’s great, and have the conviction to push work until it gets there. Just as importantly, you know when an idea is trying too hard, when something is off-brand, and when your own fingerprints are making the work worse rather than better.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>You’re an exceptional storyteller and writer.</strong> You can take something complicated and find the simple, compelling story inside it. You care deeply about language and will happily obsess over a headline, a launch narrative, or a single line of copy until it feels inevitable.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>A strong point of view, and the ability to make it better through collaboration.</strong> We don’t want someone who waits for a brief and executes it. We want someone who can tell us what the brief <em>should</em> be, challenge the premise when necessary, elevate ideas coming from the team and our founders, and make a compelling case for a different direction.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Real fluency in video as a creative medium.</strong> You don’t need to shoot, edit, animate, or produce. But you should deeply understand what makes video work, from the script and opening seconds to structure, pacing, emotion, and payoff. You should also understand why a great launch film, social video, customer story, and paid ad require very different creative choices.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Experience making creative that has to perform.</strong> You’ve developed ads and campaigns where the work was ultimately accountable to results. You’ve seen the numbers, learned from them, iterated because of them, and know how to partner with paid acquisition teams without allowing performance marketing to turn into boring marketing.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>An instinct for getting attention without going off script.</strong> You understand how to make a brand noticeable, surprising, and culturally relevant without chasing attention for its own sake. Ideally, you can show us a creative risk you fought for that worked, and another you talked the room out of because it wasn’t right for the brand.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>The ability to lead through influence, not hierarchy.</strong> There’s no large creative organization reporting to you. Much of your impact will come from getting exceptional work out of designers, marketers, writers, video producers, agencies, and founders who don’t report to you. You know how to raise the creative bar without becoming a bottleneck.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>A great eye for design and deep respect for the craft.</strong> You don’t need to be a designer, but you should be able to work shoulder-to-shoulder with exceptional ones. Our Design Studio is led by a co-founder and operates with a very high bar; you’ll need the visual taste, vocabulary, and collaborative instincts to be a trusted creative partner to that team.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Experience working closely with founders.</strong> You’re comfortable working with founders who care deeply about the product, brand, and details. You will need to extract the vision, challenge it when needed, and turn it into something better than either of you would have arrived at independently.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>An obsession with understanding what how to tell the world about we do and why it matters.</strong> The best creative work here will come from understanding Circle at a deep level: our product, customers, competitors, category, and where the market is going. You should genuinely enjoy developing that level of context rather than treating it as somebody else’s job.</p></li><li><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>Exceptional communication skills.</strong> Circle is global, remote, and highly asynchronous. You’ll need outstanding written and verbal English (CEFR C2 or equivalent), and the ability to make your thinking clear enough that great work can move forward even when everyone isn’t in the same room.</p></li></ul><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"></p><h2>Compensation &amp; benefits</h2><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">Circle offers U.S.-benchmarked compensation globally, equity in the company with ongoing refresh grants, and 35 days of paid time off each year.</p><p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">We’re a remote-only team that comes together twice a year for company retreats in incredible destinations around the world.

You’ll work especially closely with our Design Studio, which is led by one of Circle’s co-founders and won’t report to you. Success here involves shared taste, mutual trust, healthy creative tension, and the ability to move quickly together. You’ll occasionally lead external agencies as well — and when the moment calls for it, write the high-stakes copy yourself: the headline, manifesto, launch script, or line someone delivers on stage.\n\n - Raise the bar on our advertising and creative campaigns. Develop the concepts and narratives behind Circle’s ad creative, partnering up our Paid Acquisition team to turn them into high-performing campaigns. They’ll bring the channel and media-buying expertise; while you can make sure the creative is worth paying to distribute.\n\n - Direct how our stories come to life across video and events. Get hands-on with scripts, structure, pacing, and narrative for launch films, social, ads, virtual summits, and other major moments. You won’t be editing videos or producing events yourself, but you’ll understand the craft well enough to have strong opinions about what works in each medium, and collaborate deeply with the specialists who bring it to life.\n\n - Influence the narrative behind brand experiences people remember across our webinars, virtual summits, conferences, and live events to align with company brand vision. This includes everything from the theme and programming to the booth, talks, slides, copy, and small details nobody else would think to obsess over.\n\n - Turn partnerships into stories. Work with our Partnerships team to make more of our collaborations with creators and customers into stories we can distribute across our channels. You can help develop the concept, framing, name, narrative, and creative execution behind our biggest partnerships, and helping our partners tell those stories powerfully themselves.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\n\n - A body of work you’re genuinely proud of. We care far more about what you’ve made than the titles you’ve held or the number of years you’ve been doing it. You should be able to walk us through your best work piece by piece: the problem, the idea, the choices you made, what you personally contributed, and ultimately, whether it worked.\n\n - Exceptional creative taste and judgment. You know great work when you see it, can articulate why it’s great, and have the conviction to push work until it gets there. Just as importantly, you know when an idea is trying too hard, when something is off-brand, and when your own fingerprints are making the work worse rather than better.\n\n - You’re an exceptional storyteller and writer. You can take something complicated and find the simple, compelling story inside it. You care deeply about language and will happily obsess over a headline, a launch narrative, or a single line of copy until it feels inevitable.\n\n - A strong point of view, and the ability to make it better through collaboration. We don’t want someone who waits for a brief and executes it. We want someone who can tell us what the brief should be, challenge the premise when necessary, elevate ideas coming from the team and our founders, and make a compelling case for a different direction.\n\n - Real fluency in video as a creative medium. You don’t need to shoot, edit, animate, or produce. But you should deeply understand what makes video work, from the script and opening seconds to structure, pacing, emotion, and payoff. You should also understand why a great launch film, social video, customer story, and paid ad require very different creative choices.\n\n - Experience making creative that has to perform. You’ve developed ads and campaigns where the work was ultimately accountable to results. You’ve seen the numbers, learned from them, iterated because of them, and know how to partner with paid acquisition teams without allowing performance marketing to turn into boring marketing.\n\n - An instinct for getting attention without going off script. You understand how to make a brand noticeable, surprising, and culturally relevant without chasing attention for its own sake. Ideally, you can show us a creative risk you fought for that worked, and another you talked the room out of because it wasn’t right for the brand.\n\n - The ability to lead through influence, not hierarchy. There’s no large creative organization reporting to you. Much of your impact will come from getting exceptional work out of designers, marketers, writers, video producers, agencies, and founders who don’t report to you. You know how to raise the creative bar without becoming a bottleneck.\n\n - A great eye for design and deep respect for the craft. You don’t need to be a designer, but you should be able to work shoulder-to-shoulder with exceptional ones. Our Design Studio is led by a co-founder and operates with a very high bar; you’ll need the visual taste, vocabulary, and collaborative instincts to be a trusted creative partner to that team.\n\n - Experience working closely with founders. You’re comfortable working with founders who care deeply about the product, brand, and details. You will need to extract the vision, challenge it when needed, and turn it into something better than either of you would have arrived at independently.\n\n - An obsession with understanding what how to tell the world about we do and why it matters. The best creative work here will come from understanding Circle at a deep level: our product, customers, competitors, category, and where the market is going. You should genuinely enjoy developing that level of context rather than treating it as somebody else’s job.\n\n - Exceptional communication skills. Circle is global, remote, and highly asynchronous. You’ll need outstanding written and verbal English (CEFR C2 or equivalent), and the ability to make your thinking clear enough that great work can move forward even when everyone isn’t in the same room.\n\n\n\n\nCOMPENSATION & BENEFITS\n\nCircle offers U.S.-benchmarked compensation globally, equity in the company with ongoing refresh grants, and 35 days of paid time off each year.\n\nWe’re a remote-only team that comes together twice a year for company retreats in incredible destinations around the world. Alongside incredible flexibility and autonomy, we offer a benefits package that supports health, wellbeing, and professional growth.
