Head of Growth

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. Circle is a product-led company, with thousands of paying customers.

The Head of Growth Marketing will be a leader responsible for accelerating Circle’s hyper growth through driving customer acquisition and retention. This executive will be responsible for the strategy and execution of all demand generation and lifecycle marketing activities. They will have ownership over the entire customer journey across acquisition, conversion and retention. Content marketing, including social media marketing, will also report into this role. The Head of Growth will also oversee growth engineering, and own their prioritization.

In addition to being a creative, best-in-class growth marketer, the Head of Growth Marketing will partner effectively with all other key functions. Sales and revenue operations will be particularly close collaborators.

A critical component of the Head of Growth Marketing’s mandate will be to hire, develop and lead a team of high performing marketers 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.
