Jobbeschreibung

Director of Strategy & Business, Creative Labs

• Full-time
• Department: Content

Cricut® makes smart cutting machines that work with an easy-to-use app, an ever-growing collection of materials, and crafting essentials to help you design and personalize almost anything — custom cards, unique apparel, everyday items, and so much more.

We believe everyone is born creative. We’re a diverse tapestry of thinkers, dreamers, givers, DIYers, handi-workers, artisans, and forever and always architects of things.

At Cricut, we place the power of handmade into the hands of all. We give you beautiful, easy-to-master tools so you can make something unique, remarkable, perfect. We surround you with ideas, community, inspiration, and encouragement to take your creativity further than you ever imagined. And as a community, we celebrate the exhilarating act of making every single day.

So, make that handcrafted card that feels like a hug. Design a shirt for fun, for family, or for a full-blown business. Craft with a passion or for a purpose. Make something big and bold, itsy-bitsy, amazingly ambitious, or just plain silly. Whatever you make, just make your heart out. Because here’s the remarkable truth: When we all make together, we make all things possible.

Let’s make.

Cricut has a $320M+ business providing content to millions of makers for the Cricut specific crafts. As we evolve from a hardware-centric subscription to a “Creative Ecosystem Membership,” we are launching Cricut Creative Labs—a umbrella for delivering content and tools to support our users across all their creative activities. The team has already launched experiences for creating coloring pages, custom art, personalized paint-by-numbers prints, and launched Cricut Patterns,where we have a curated library of top crochet patterns.

We are seeking an entrepreneurial focused Director to continue the growth in this initiative. You will be responsible for leading the business side of Cricut Creative Labs (Analytics, Finance, Marketing, and Content), partnering with our head of Product and Engineering. Together you will both lead the future growth of a suite of digital tools and content platforms that support our users in their non-Cricut creative needs (Crochet, Knitting, 3D Printing, etc.), ensuring that Cricut remains the home for their entire creative journey.
