Circit is a fast-growing B2B SaaS company on a mission to verify the trusted source in every business transaction. We're building a global asset verification platform that enables auditors to deliver higher-quality financial audits — while giving financial institutions a modern, automated way to collaborate with their clients.
Our customer base spans Big Four accountancy firms, fund administrators, global banks, asset managers, and custodians.
We recently closed a $22M growth equity round to accelerate our expansion into North America — and that's where you come in.
The OpportunityNorth America is a major growth and expansion market for Circit. You'll be joining the NA team at an exciting stage — the US audit market is ready, and you can directly influence how we scale.
This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow their sales career while harnessing existing sector knowledge in audit or accounting. It's a role with real momentum behind it — and a clear path to senior responsibility as the NA team grows.
We have established NA traction. You'll join a team that's already in motion: with deep audit and commercial experience, a customer success function, and existing business development capacity. Your job is to add execution horsepower and help turn our NA wedge into category leadership across US audit firms.
If you're a strong executor who loves the hunt, knows the audit market, and wants to plug into a growing team — this is for you.

- Our playbook exists and is in active refinement. You'll execute it consistently and help sharpen it.
- The NA team is small, fast, and direct. This isn't a heavily layered environment.
