Head of Investor Relations

**Our Mission**:
At Circus (Xetra: CA1), headquartered in Hamburg with offices in Berlin and Munich, we are pioneering global developments in on-demand autonomous food production. From culinary creation to production and operations, everything is powered by seamlessly integrated robotics and transformative AI.

Our foundation lies in groundbreaking advancements in robotics, driven by artificial intelligence — the long-missing link in realizing fully autonomous food automation. The time has come for a new status quo: just as autonomous vehicles are reshaping our cities and daily lives, we are redefining the entire experience of food.

Our team brings together leading minds in Robotics, AI, Engineering, and Culinary, working closely with industry-leading partners to revolutionize how food is prepared, accessed, and experienced.

Join us as we shape a future where the art of cooking meets the science of technology — and where food becomes something fundamentally new.

**About the Role**:
We are looking for a visionary, capital-markets-savvy Head of Investor Relations to lead our financial storytelling and build long-term relationships with the investment community. In this role, you won’t just explain what we do — you’ll pitch why it matters.
