About The Role

We are looking for a sharp, driven Associate/Senior Associate who combines strategic thinking with operational excellence for the CEO Office at Circles. You will work closely with the Chief Executive Officer, the leadership team, and business units across the company to drive high-impact projects, strengthen our company operating rhythm, and position Circles as a category creator and industry disruptor.

As an Associate/Senior Associate in the CEO Office, you will be the connective tissue of the organization: leading and managing execution of cross-functional initiatives, supporting the CEO in both strategy and operations, and enabling the leadership team to focus on what matters most. You will plug gaps across functions, drive alignment, and foster tighter collaboration across teams.

This role spans five core areas:

Internal and External Communications

  • Manage communications where the CEO is directly involved (town halls, company-wide emails, staff recognition, investor and partner updates, LinkedIn, press releases).
  • Draft and distribute internal communications to keep the company informed, aligned, and motivated.
  • Collaborate with Marketing, People & Culture and relevant Business Units to ensure message clarity, consistency, and impact.
  • Support the CEO’s thought leadership and external positioning as an industry disruptor.

Leadership Engagement & Operating System

  • Plan, structure, and drive leadership meetings, account reviews and offsites with clear agendas, strong decision outcomes and tracked follow-ups.
  • Drive the company’s operating system (eg. Annual Business Planning) in line with the company’s North Star and critical priorities.
  • Build frameworks, processes and tools that help the leadership team operate at scale and speed.

External Projects & Strategic Partnerships

  • Research and assess new market opportunities with actionable recommendations for the CEO, as well as represent the CEO Office in partner discussions, external projects and engagements.
  • Manage key external relationships, ensuring strong follow-up and sustained momentum.

Problem-Solving & Cross-Functional Execution

  • Problem solve ambiguous, high-priority challenges across functions.
  • Step into “white space” projects that may not neatly sit within a single department.

CEO Support (Materials & Prep)

  • Prepare decks, briefs, and materials for CEO’s internal and external engagements.
  • Anticipate CEO needs with the right context, data and narrative at hand.
  • Help prioritize the CEO’s time by filtering, focusing and escalating what matters most.

Key Qualifications

  • 2–4 years of experience in fast-paced, high-growth, or ambiguous environments.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong project management and execution capabilities, with a bias for action.
  • Proven ability to manage stakeholders across functions and geographies.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, cross-functional, global setup.
  • High emotional intelligence and ability to collaborate across all levels.
  • Adaptable, open-minded, and entrepreneurial in mindset.
  • Action-oriented and resourceful—willing to roll up your sleeves.
  • Bonus: Experience in matrix organizations and/or internal/external communications.

At the Circles CEO Office, we believe strongly in potential and fit over perfect CVs. If this role excites you—even if you don’t check every single box—please apply. We’d love to hear from you.

Circles is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, gender, disability or age.
