A Quick Note Before You Apply…

Cricut is in a powerful chapter of transformation. We’re evolving fast—refining our strategy, growing our teams, and raising the bar across the board. 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 don’t just meet expectations, but consistently exceed them. If you thrive in dynamic environments and find joy in turning challenges into momentum, keep reading.

Here’s what makes someone a great fit for this role (and for this moment at Cricut):
You have a bias for urgency.
You don’t wait for perfect clarity to take action—you start, learn, and adjust. You believe that speed matters, especially when paired with thoughtfulness. You ask: “What can move forward today?” and push past inertia.

You set high standards—especially for yourself.
You’re proud of your work and protective of your reputation. You take ownership, deliver quality, and don’t cut corners. You hold yourself accountable without waiting to be asked.

You stay focused when things are moving fast.
You can identify what really matters and don’t get distracted by noise. You prioritize well, and manage your time wisely.

You collaborate like a pro.
You elevate the people around you, communicate clearly, and give thoughtful feedback. You’re low ego, high output—and your team loves working with you.

One More Thing (It’s a Big One):
This role is in-office at least 3–4 days per week.
We believe that real collaboration, innovation, and culture are built face-to-face. If you’re energized by working alongside smart, kind, creative people—and enjoy those unplanned hallway conversations that spark great ideas—you’ll love it here.

If you’re looking for a fully remote role, this likely isn’t the right time or place. But if you’re excited by challenge, purpose, and building something better, we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s make something amazing—together.
