Circle • Bangalore

About the Company Circle is building a C2C marketplace with a backbone of trust and convenience, and at its heart, something human and fun. The secondary market in India has demand. What it lacks is accountability, verification, and seamless logistics. That is what we are building. About the Role Category Associate Full-time | On-site | Bangalore You'll get the rare opportunity of P&L ownership at an early stage consumer tech startup building the trusted C2C layer India has always needed. No shortage of problems worth solving. Just a business that needs builders — and the room to become one. Key Responsibilities Category performance, end to end — GMV, conversion, operations, and customer experience for your slice of the business. The numbers are yours. Supply and assortment — build out what's available on the platform through business partnerships, sourcing initiatives, and creative interventions that don't yet exist in a playbook. Turning market intelligence into strategy — track pricing, competition, demand, and trends, and turn that into category calls that actually move the needle. Cross-functional execution — work shoulder-to-shoulder with Ops, Marketing, Customer Experience, and Tech to get your initiatives shipped, not just planned. Requirements 1–3 years of experience driving outcomes in growth, product, partnerships, or as a generalist inside a fast-paced startup — you know what it feels like when priorities shift overnight. Sharp analytical instincts — you're comfortable diving into ambiguous problems with no clean brief and coming out with a clear answer. Strong commercial sense — you can look at a pile of data and tell us what to actually do about it. High agency and ownership — you don't wait for a task list; you build one. Stakeholder management chops — you can align Ops, Marketing, and Tech around a plan and actually get it executed Data analytical skills — can own a P&L and understands how to move metrics and why they move Location & Work Mode The role is full-time and on-site in Bangalore.
