Company mission
To help organizations bring together engaging discussions, members, live streams, chat, events, and memberships — all in one place, all under their own brand.
Role
Who you are
- We need someone who speaks in TikTok sounds and can think in 280 character Tweets (yes, they’re still Tweets, Elon)
- Someone who can craft social-first videos that hook viewers in, and is the first person in their friend group to send new memes
- And someone who can spot viral trends before they become played out—because no one likes a stale trend
- You should have experience with concepting, storyboarding, shooting (on mobile), editing, and be strongly visual—professional graphic design skills not required, but you should know your way around creative and video editing tools
- And writing for social should be second nature—you’ll need to be as comfortable with crafting words as you are in front of the camera
- Bonus points if you already have a social following!
- Strong alignment with our values, find our values on our career page if you haven’t read up on them yet
- A body of work that shows off your content chops—including on-camera samples (links to social posts and/or accounts in your application is perfect)
- 2+ years of experience working in-house, ideally within a content, marketing, or brand team
- A strong growth and experimental mindset, with past social examples to back it up
- A focus on storytelling through content that builds communities and brand love
- Well versed in the tools required to create compelling social content (emphasis on video)—we’re flexible on which tools you use, but you should know your way around Figma, Premiere Pro, Descript, etc
- Not only a deep understanding of internet culture (think memes, trends, and cultural moments), but a passion for all things social media and pop culture
- No one excels at all social platforms—so tell us which ones you’re most confident in or passionate about, and we’ll help build the strategy around your skills and interests
- Must be a strong internal communicator who can pitch crazy ideas all the way up to senior leadership (and get buy-in!)
- Project management skills are a must: you’re covering a lot of ground across a variety of platforms, so you’ll need to be very organized and efficient
- All of our content is in English, so you’ll need to be a native or fluent speaker and writer
Desirable
- If you’ve already run social for a B2B SaaS company
- If you’ve grown a YouTube channel (for a brand, or your own personal account)
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Social Media Marketer to join Circle’s growing marketing team to run our social accounts, level up our organic social strategy, and be a key face for our brand online
- Which means you must love being in-front of the camera and have a good sense of humor (and you’re maybe even a little weird)
- We sell to creators who are social-native, so the bar is high
- As a key face for Circle's social media accounts, you’ll be writing, directing, starring in and editing content for our brand profiles on Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, and YouTube
- You’ll be monitoring and engaging in social media conversations on our channels
- You’ll always stay on top of cultural and social trends in order to (quickly) jump on creative opportunities, while ensuring they fit the Circle brand
- You’ll manage the social media calendar to align with our broader content and product marketing plans
- You'll be pitching and helping create content for our paid social team to promote
- As Circle’s first dedicated social person, you’ll be responsible for growing our social media following and building and nurturing an engaged audience
- And lastly, you’ll also be measuring and reporting on the performance of our channels to track audience growth and engagement, and suggesting improvements to our organic social strategy
Our take
The influencer market is nearly twice the size it was globally back in 2019. With more creators flocking to the digital space to grow and engage with their followers, cracks in the existing platforms’ relationship to their content creators are showing. Circle is one of a number of content creator platforms rising up to meet the demand for change.
Its community platform allows users to create and engage with their own groups, for a small subscription fee established by the creators. This direct ownership and community engagement is proving something of a silver bullet for companies looking to tempt creators off of incumbent giants like Tiktok and Youtube. Companies like Substack, Patreon, and Pico have all seen remarkable success with this strategy, suggesting that Circle’s foray into establishing something similar for a creator hub is playing to an eager market.
The company's ultimate aim is to pull together all creator tools like newsletter publishing, merch sales, and podcasting under a single Circle umbrella. This is ambitious - but Circle is growing alongside the creator economy at an impressive pace. If it can maintain this growth, it will be poised well for future success.

Company values
- 🌱 Grow together — We give honest feedback to others with the best intentions, and listen to valuable feedback when it’s given. We strive to grow with our company and operate with a growth mindset. We own our mistakes and avoid finger-pointing when things don’t go our way.
- 💡 Trust and autonomy — Our team members have solid judgement, and seek to earn a high degree of trust from everyone they work with by showing them their best judgement. Once a team member has earned trust, they can operate with a sense of autonomy and can do their best work without too much supervision. Our leaders seek to instill a sense of autonomy in their team members.
- 🏃🏽♀️ Bias for action — We jump to action with passion and positivity. When faced with challenges or opportunities, we're able to move fast and get things done. We value achieving tangible outcomes above simply valuing the inputs to those outcomes (i.e. planning, surveys, process, etc.).
- 💻 Product first — Everyone at Circle cares deeply about our product, and strives to do their best to make it better regardless of their role. We're open to sharing or receiving constructive feedback about our product at all times.
- 💭 Long-term thinking — We're here for Circle’s future and value its long-term mission. We pause and reflect on the fundamentals. We constantly seek to make trade-offs which benefit Circle’s mission over the course of the next decade — not just the immediate month or quarter ahead.
