In Circle Inc.

The Insights Manager plays a critical role in transforming campaign performance data, audience intelligence, and creator ecosystem analysis into strategic direction that strengthens business outcomes.

This role sits at the core of performance intelligence — moving beyond reporting into diagnostic and prescriptive insight development.

The Insights Manager ensures that campaign learnings, platform behaviors, and creator performance patterns are translated into actionable recommendations that influence planning, optimization, and long-term client growth.

While this role may carry light people management responsibilities, it requires a high level of analytical rigor, commercial thinking, and cross-functional influence across key accounts and initiatives.

You will work closely with Strategy, Client Success, Creative, Talent, and Implementation teams to ensure decisions are grounded in clear data interpretation and forward-looking insight.
