About Us
Circle is building the world’s leading all-in-one platform for online communities.

We’re proud to be a fully remote company of around 200 (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.
Twice 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!

About the role
We’re looking for an Operations Associate who excels in a fast-paced environment to help keep Circle running smoothly as we scale.
This is a company-ops, generalist role: you’ll own cross-functional projects that cut across the entire company (finance, legal, product, GTM, and data). From your first day, you’ll take on meaningful responsibilities with a direct impact on our core business and product success.
In this role, you’ll support company priorities that unlock growth and enable efficient, scalable operations. You’ll own high-priority initiatives end-to-end — from concept to launch — by building project plans, defining success metrics, driving execution, and ensuring smooth rollouts.
This is a high-trust, high-impact role for someone who can see around corners, drive outcomes without authority, bring structure to complexity, and turn ambiguity into action.
What you’ll be doing
- Contribute to strategic analyses, support project management, and collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders across finance, legal, product, GTM, and data
- Take ownership of tasks from vague problem → clear solution → shipped outcome
- Turn operational data into clear dashboards (using spreadsheets, SQL, or other analytics tools) and surface insights that inform decisions and drive execution
- Build a deep understanding of Circle’s operational workflows and processes
- Build and maintain lightweight tracking systems for ongoing operational workflows (e.g. Discover listings, submissions, approvals, status tracking)
- Be the person people trust to “just handle it” – following through reliably with clear communication
What you’ll need to be successful
- A strong generalist skill set (e.g. creating clear, actionable project plans and memos, analyzing data sets, and tackling ad hoc projects)
- Experience driving cross-functional projects or programs in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
- Ability to interpret data, identify patterns, and clearly communicate findings to inform decision-making
- High ownership, low ego, and willingness to work across both high-stakes strategic projects and detailed execution.
- A desire to work in an environment which values speed of iteration and individual autonomy, while also embracing personal accountability and the ability to collaborate effectively as part of a dynamic team.
- Comfortable in a fast-paced environment with a certain level of ambiguity, especially when learning and picking up new technologies or systems when projects require it.
- Strong alignment with our values, find our values on our career page if you haven’t read up on them yet.
- You are proficient in English (spoken, written, and reading) at a CEFR Level C2 / ILR Level 5.
$80,000 – $100,000 USD per year
The cash compensation range shown is a starting point. In addition to equity, benefits and perks, your cash compensation is subject to an annual review and increase on a once per year basis.
The fun stuff
- Fully remote: work from anywhere in the world!
- Autonomy and trust to do your job: we care about outcomes over everything else.
- Paid time away: all employees are given 35 days of PTO annually. We also offer a paid sabbatical after 5 years.
- Generous U.S. benchmarked compensation and startup equity no matter where you are in the world.*
- Awesome medical coverage with 100% coverage for you and your family, or medical reimbursement options where applicable!*
- Parental leave for parents expanding their family, or just starting one.
- Home office stipend to help you get up and running.
- Learning & development stipend to help you level up your professional skills.
- Annual bonus potential for roles that don’t already receive variable income or commission.
- Company retreats: Twice a year, the Circle team gets together for a fully paid company retreat in incredible places around the world! We’ve had past retreats in Colombia, Portugal, and Mexico, with more planned on the horizon.
