About SuperCircle

Supercircle is the AI-powered operating system for recovering value from billions of unsold and post-sale products across global retail. Brands lose $170B a year to returned, damaged, and excess inventory, and 60% of products and clothing are burned or landfilled within a year of manufacture date. We are unlocking waste as a value generator rather than a cost center, building a new reverse logistics economy for the world’s leading brands.

Our AI-powered platform is already the de facto partner for the enterprise market trusted by 100+ brands including J.Crew, VF Corp, GUESS, Reformation, FIGS and Parachute, and has already orchestrated the diversion of 12M+ products from t-shirts to basketballs from landfill while returning $50M+ to our partners' P&Ls.

Supercircle is a leading venture backed company in NYC that has raised $40M+ to date from top VCs, including a $24M Series A led by Foundry in 2025 and continuing to grow even faster as we move towards our next round.

Led by multi-time co-founders in tech, retail, fashion, and supply chain, Supercircle’s stacked team includes one of the former founders at Gilt Groupe and operators from companies including Flexport, eBay, Equinox, Gap, The RealReal, Afterpay, Meta and Google.

We are building the rails for an industry that has, until now, run on spreadsheets and pallets — and we're just getting started on the $170B+ in unmanaged inventory and unrecovered value sitting on brands' balance sheets.

About the Role

\n
• Excellent communicator with executive presence, confident running business reviews, leading negotiations, and engaging senior stakeholders across functions.
