Creative Director - Circle

About Us

Circle is building the world’s leading AI-powered, all-in-one platform for digital businesses. 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.

We’re proud to be a fully remote company of around 270 (and growing!) team members from 30+ countries around the world. We collaborate across time zones, are highly async, and like to document a lot. Twice a year, we bring the whole company together in beautiful places around the world for our company offsites.

About the Role

We’re excited to bring on Circle’s first Creative Director. This is a unique opportunity to shape how Circle shows up in the world, and define the story of a generational company building the future of digital businesses.

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.

What You'll Be Doing

• Shape Circle’s narrative: 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.
• Own creative direction of launches: Drive the angle, brief, story, and execution for major product launches and campaigns in partnership with Product Marketing.
• Partner with the design studio: Collaborate closely with our in-house Design Studio, product marketing, paid media, video, and events teams.
• Raise the bar on advertising: Develop concepts and narratives for ad creative, partnering with the Paid Acquisition team for high-performing campaigns.
• Direct video and events storytelling: Get hands-on with scripts, structure, pacing, and narrative for launch films, social, ads, virtual summits, and major events.
• Turn partnerships into stories: Work with the Partnerships team to craft compelling stories around creator and customer collaborations.

What We're Looking For

• A strong portfolio demonstrating a history of exceptional creative work, problem-solving, and execution.
• Exceptional creative taste, judgment, and the conviction to push work to the highest standard.
• Exceptional storytelling and writing skills, with a deep appreciation for language and copy.
• A strong point of view and the ability to elevate ideas through constructive collaboration.
• Real fluency in video as a creative medium, understanding scripts, pacing, emotion, and payoff.
• Experience creating performance-accountable ads and marketing campaigns.
• An instinct for culturally relevant, surprising, and noticeable brand storytelling without chasing cheap attention.
• The ability to lead through influence rather than direct hierarchy.
• A great eye for design and respect for the craft, working shoulder-to-shoulder with exceptional designers.
• Experience working closely with founders to extract and refine product and brand vision.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills tailored for a global, remote, and async environment.

Compensation & Benefits

• U.S.-benchmarked compensation globally with company equity and ongoing refresh grants.
• 35 days of paid time off each year.
• Twice-yearly company retreats in incredible destinations around the world.
• Comprehensive benefits package supporting health, wellbeing, and professional growth.
