A Quick Note Before You Apply... 

Cricut is in an exciting chapter of transformation. We're evolving fast-refining our strategy, growing our teams, and raising the bar across everything we do. This is an incredible opportunity for the right kind of person-but it's not for everyone. 

We're looking for A-players-people who thrive in dynamic environments, turn challenges into momentum, and consistently deliver their best work. If that sounds like you, read on. 

Here's what makes someone a great fit for this role (and for this moment at Cricut): 

• You move with urgency. You don't wait for perfect clarity to act-you start, learn, and adjust. 
• You set high standards. You take ownership, deliver quality, and hold yourself accountable. 
• You stay focused when things move fast. You prioritize what matters most and tune out the noise. 
• You collaborate like a pro. You elevate others, communicate clearly, and bring a low-ego, high-output energy.

One More Thing (It's a Big One) 

This role is in-office at 4-5 days per week. We believe real collaboration, innovation, and culture are built face-to-face. If you're energized by working alongside smart, kind, creative people-and love those hallway conversations that spark the next great idea-you'll feel right at home. 

If you're looking for a fully remote role, this may not be the right fit. But if you're excited by challenge, purpose, and building something better-let's make something amazing together.
