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 200 (and growing!) team members from 30+ countries around the world. We seek exceptional individuals around the world, set them up to do the best work of their lives, and in turn, create a meaningful impact in their own lives. We don't track hours, but we do manage for high expectations very closely. We collaborate across time zones, are highly async, and like to document a lot.

Twice a year, we bring the whole company together in beautiful places around the world for our company offsites. So far, we’ve hosted offsites in Turkey, Portugal, Mexico, Thailand, Colombia, Italy, Ireland, and more, with still more to come!

About the role

We’re hiring a Payroll & Benefits Coordinator to help support and scale one of the most critical functions at Circle. Today, payroll and benefits are owned by a single team member — and as we continue to grow, we need additional support and redundancy to ensure accuracy, continuity, and a great employee experience.

This role will work closely with our Senior Payroll & Benefits Specialist to execute day-to-day payroll and benefits operations while building a strong understanding of the full function. You’ll play a key role in keeping things running smoothly.

What you'll be doing

Support end-to-end payroll processing across multiple states and countries using Remote
Review and validate timekeeping data, including hours worked and PTO, ensuring accuracy before payroll runs
Process payroll changes including new hires, compensation updates, terminations, bonuses, and adjustments
Administer employee benefits programs (health, dental, vision, 401(k), etc.), including enrollments and life event changes
Manage contractor lifecycle operations, including agreements (SOWs), onboarding, and invoice schedules
Coordinate offboarding processes, including system updates, benefits terminations, and cross-functional alignment
Serve as a point of contact for employee questions related to payroll and benefits, and support internal documentation and process improvements

What you'll need to be successful

Strong alignment with our values, find our values on our career page if you haven’t read up on them yet
4+ years of experience in payroll, benefits, or a related function, ideally in a high-growth or distributed company
Strong understanding of payroll fundamentals, including taxes, deductions, and compliance basics
Experience working with payroll systems and HRIS tools (Remote.com experience is a plus), including exposure to international payroll
Advanced spreadsheet skills (e.g., lookups) and a high level of accuracy and attention to detail
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage recurring deadlines and handle sensitive information with discretion
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English (CEFR C2 or equivalent), as most collaboration at Circle happens asynchronously

Bonus points

Experience in a remote-first or distributed company
Familiarity with multi-state payroll requirements in the U.S.
Exposure to benefits compliance (ACA, COBRA, etc.)

$90,000 - $110,000 USD per year
