Circles is looking for new staff members to join our team.
While we are usually approached by people who specifically want to work at Circles, this time we are not looking for a shop service staff member, but rather someone to help us primarily with back-end operations.
Since Circles first opened as a small shop in Fukiage, we have grown through various experiences to include our original product divisions like SimWorks and RAL, our food and beverage divisions EarlyBirds Breakfast and Pine Fields Market, our distribution division CWD, and even our overseas division, SimWorks USA.
Furthermore, the nature of our retail store—the very foundation of Circles—has evolved in response to changing times and social conditions. Beyond in-store sales and repairs, we approach the parts of our business that are often hidden from view—such as e-commerce shipping, inventory management, data entry, photography, and customer service—with the same passion and dedication as we do our storefront operations.
For this opening, we are not looking for full-time staff, but rather for part-time workers who can work 1–4 days a week for a few hours at a time. We hope that students, homemakers, and others can make good use of their time outside of their main job or daily routine.
The work will begin with e-commerce support in the Circles back office. Duties mainly include receiving and shipping products, data entry, and inventory management. You do not need to have prior knowledge of bicycles, but we would be happy if you approach the work with interest.

To apply, please use the contact form on the Circles website, enter "Job Application" in the subject line, and include your name, contact information, available working hours, etc. (We expect to respond to applications starting from Saturday, August 21.)
This is a role that supports, from behind the scenes, the front line of delivering various bicycle, outdoor, and fashion products to the people who actually use them. We believe your enthusiasm and passion will serve as new fuel for us, and we look forward to working with you. We eagerly await many applications.
