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. 
• You embrace AI as part of your toolkit. From idea exploration to data analysis and creative problem-solving, you leverage AI to accelerate innovation and amplify impact—because technology and creativity go hand-in-hand here. 

One More Thing (It’s a Big One) 

This role is in-office at least 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.
