"Circular is a tech subscription service that's evolving the way we consume technology. By subscribing, our customers have access to the latest tech from the best brands for budget-friendly monthly payments.Our mission is to help the world embrace the circular economy and say goodbye to the days of owning expensive tech devices. It’s a learned behaviour that we need to disrupt to usher in a new era where subscribing, rather than buying, is the norm. Our disruptive challenge to traditional tech device ownership may seem ambitious, but hey - look at how Netflix and Spotify transformed the consumption of movies and music. The planet needs us to change how we think about our phones, laptops and other devices."
What is the company’s approach to professional development?
We have epoch goals (which our longer term goals) and have been able to map the roles and responsibilities to this plan in mind. We know where we are today, and we know which direction we're headed towards. Professional development is customised and we apply the 70-20-10 Model for Learning and Development. Our Default Approved Expenses Policy enables individuals to feel empowered to be supported to realise the full value of their skills.
What is the company's culture like?
Our Values and Virtues have been terrific to incentivise employees to align with our company culture. It has helped us to be able to have a common language and principles first way of doing things. We believe that Values on their own would be insufficient; it’s the Virtues that add the x-factor for us as they help us to understand the attitudes and practices beyond a catchphrase..

What are the company's plans for the next 12 months?
We're very excited about growing our offerings further in the APAC region.
How do you approach diversity and inclusion?
Our focus has been on bringing diversity of thought into the organisation. This includes having representation across genders, areas of experience, scale, and cultural experiences. Whilst gender representation (or a quota) is not an intention, we have a 45:55 split between women and men at our company. Our team is also made up of individuals born and have worked in 10 different countries.
