You’ll nurture and grow our portfolio of clients and act as a trusted advisor and ambassador for CircleCI.

In terms of growth, we truly believe in the continued development of each new hire. In joining this team, you’ll take part in a community that believes in development and promotion from within and as a rapidly growing business, there are a lot of opportunities for progression.

What you’ll do:

Own & Grow the Digital Revenue Assisted Segment and Self-Serve: Define the strategy for and lead the digital Revenue Assisted segment — applying in-depth evaluation of variable customer data, product signals, and tooling (Vitally, Mode, AI) to build and continuously evolve a fully automated, scalable customer journey. Ensuring programs are scalable to the month-to-month segment.

Program Design & Optimization: Own the strategic roadmap for digital programs across the full customer lifecycle — from onboarding and feature adoption to early disengagement detection and renewal. Exercise independent judgment in selecting methodologies, evaluation criteria, and optimization approaches. Own program analytics end-to-end, translating complex, variable engagement signals into measurable business outcomes and actionable program improvements.
M2M-to-Annual Conversion: Design and launch CircleCI’s first digital conversion program targeting self-serve customers on monthly Performance plans, building multi-touch journeys that drive them toward annual Scale commitments and deliver measurable new ARR.

AI & Data-Driven Programs: Partner with Data & Analytics to operationalize churn prediction models into automated Digital CS plays, define requirements for AI-driven outreach, and evaluate tooling to advance our digital CS capabilities.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Serve as a key cross-functional leader and subject matter expert, building formal networks with stakeholders across and beyond the CS organization — including Growth TSMs, CS Ops, Support Engineering, Data & Analytics, Marketing, and Product. Drive alignment on program strategy, surface customer insights that influence company-level priorities, and ensure digital programs complement rather than duplicate other customer-facing efforts.

CS Platform Experience: Experience with CS platforms such as Vitally, Gainsight, Totango, or ChurnZero, including the ability to configure playbooks, triggers, and automated workflows.
Data Fluency: Comfortable building reports and dashboards (Mode, Looker, or equivalent), analyzing engagement funnels, and making data-driven decisions about program performance.
Communication Skills: Excellent written communication skills — you will be a primary author of customer-facing technical content, email sequences, and adoption guides.

How CircleCI Uses AI in Hiring

At CircleCI, people make our hiring decisions. We use technology to support our recruiting team so they can spend more time on what matters most: getting to know you.

Where we may use AI

Job descriptions and messaging: AI may help draft job descriptions and role-specific messaging so they are clear and accurate.
Application review: For some roles, we use an AI tool to review applications, including resumes and application responses, against criteria our hiring team sets for the role. The tool generates a fit score and summary to help recruiters organize and prioritize applications.
Interview notes: With advance notice, an AI note-taking tool may join interviews to record, transcribe, and summarize the conversation. This lets interviewers focus on talking with you. You will be told before each interview, and you may opt out at any stage by letting your recruiter know. If you opt out, the tool will not join, and your candidacy is not affected.
Outreach: AI may help draft candidate outreach and scheduling messages, which our team reviews before sending.

Our commitment

AI does not make hiring decisions at CircleCI. Our recruiters and hiring teams review candidates and make every decision to advance or reject an application. No candidate is rejected based solely on an AI score. We have tools and processes in place to test for bias and to review how these tools perform, and we adjust our approach as AI technology and the laws that govern it change.

Your choices

You can ask for human-only review of your application, opt out of AI interview note-taking, request an accommodation, or ask questions about how we use AI. Contact recruiting@circleci.com. For how we handle your data, including retention, see our Privacy Policy.
