About Us

Circle is building the world’s leading all-in-one platform for online communities. We make it possible for creators, coaches, educators, and businesses to bring together their audience with engaging discussions, live streams, events, chat, courses, and payments — all in one place, all under their own brand.

We’re proud to be a fully remote company of around 120 (and growing!) team members from 30+ countries around the world. We strive to find exceptional talent, empower them to do their best work, and in turn, have a meaningful impact in their own lives. We don’t track hours, but we manage for outcomes in an a-synchronous culture.

Twice a year, we bring the whole company together for incredible company retreats in beautiful places around the world!

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Sales, Marketing, Engineering, and Operations, to build simple, clear financial models which will be used by Leadership for strategy and decision making.

• Work closely with the Data team as they build out Circle’s data environment to ensure that Finance has the proper data to meet FP&A requirements.

• Conduct analysis of key performance indicators, operational metrics, and business trends, translating the data into actionable insights and recommendations.

• Prepare and present financial reports, presentations, and dashboards for Leadership.

• Assist with monthly financial reporting processes, as well as quarterly and annual financial planning.
