Salary

💰 $90,000 - $120,000 per year

About the role

  • Coach and develop our managers, helping them show up for their teams through performance conversations, feedback, hard moments, and everything in between
  • Support the building and running of our Learning & Development function — identifying real skill gaps and creating learning experiences that people genuinely find valuable
  • Own and evolve our people programs alongside the Head of People: performance management, career frameworks, leveling conversations, manager training — making them smarter, simpler, and more human over time
  • Stay close to team sentiment through surveys, 1:1s, and real listening — and actually close the loop when something needs to change
  • Support team members in understanding their growth paths and what it takes to get there — so no one feels like they're guessing
  • Spot and address people challenges early, with empathy and clear thinking — before they become bigger problems
  • Partner with leadership on talent strategy: calibrations, succession, and taking care of the people we can't afford to lose — and the ones we just don't want to

Requirements

  • Strong alignment with our values: find our values on our career page
  • Experience in a high-growth startup or scale-up where you weren't just running programs, you were building them
  • Strong employee relations chops — you're calm in complex situations and you know how to navigate them with both fairness and genuine care
  • A real coaching instinct — you've helped managers grow into better, more human versions of themselves, and you know how to earn that influence
  • Experience in a global, remote-first environment with distributed teams
  • The ability to design and execute — not just advise
  • Exceptional written English (CEFR C2 or equivalent) — async-first communication is core to how we work at Circle
Benefits
  • 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.
