Circle is building the modern community platform for every creator and brand in the world: think "Shopify for creator/brand-led communities". We make it really easy for creators and brands to bring their discussions, members, and content all into one place.

We're a cross-platform community product built for web and mobile, and we're looking for a Head of Talent to help build a strong foundation for the Talent function (you ll be the first hire in the Talent function at Circle).

You ll work cross-functionally with our leadership team / hiring managers to support the rapid growth of all functions. A critical component of the Head of Talent s mandate will be to hire, develop, and lead a high-performing recruiting team to enable Circle to effectively scale.

This is a 100% remote role. We're now a fully remote team of 65 (and growing!) based in the U.S., Colombia, Portugal, India, Argentina, Slovenia, and other countries. We have a preference for candidates in U.S. and European time zones.
