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 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 for launches and campaigns: Find the angle, develop the brief, shape the story, and obsess over how we make each moment stand out.
• Partner with the design studio: Work closely with our Design Studio (led by a co-founder) to maintain shared taste, mutual trust, and high execution velocity.
• Raise the bar on advertising: Develop concepts and narratives behind Circle’s ad creative, partnering with the Paid Acquisition team.
• Direct video and event storytelling: Guide the scripts, structure, pacing, and narrative for launch films, social, ads, virtual summits, and major moments.
• Turn partnerships into stories: Collaborate with the Partnerships team to highlight creator and customer collaborations.

What We're Looking For

• A strong body of work: A portfolio demonstrating top-tier creative choices and real-world impact.
• Exceptional creative taste: High standards and the conviction to push work until it hits the mark.
• Master storytelling: Ability to turn complex concepts into simple, compelling copy and narratives.
• Strategic collaboration: A strong point of view combined with the ability to elevate team ideas through constructive tension.
• Video fluency: Deep understanding of what makes video work across formats, from scripts to pacing.
• Results-driven creativity: Experience building ads and campaigns that balance brand elevation with performance metrics.
• Leadership through influence: Proven ability to lead cross-functional peers, founders, and agencies without direct reporting hierarchy.
• Written English fluency: Exceptional communication skills suited for a global, asynchronous team.

Compensation & Benefits

• U.S.-benchmarked compensation globally
• Company equity with ongoing refresh grants
• 35 days of paid time off each year
• Twice-yearly company retreats in incredible global destinations
