Our Shared Values:
We believe that being aligned on our shared values is the foundation of how we build, belong, and how we show up for each other and to the broader ecosystem. You can find our shared values here.
How We Work Together:
There are many ways to build an amazing company culture and we’re on our journey to define ours. So we ask you for your investment, participation, and intentionality in co-creating the unique culture at Storytell.
We believe in hiring the best talent around the globe; that’s why we have a “distributed first” mindset. For our first dozen hires, we are prioritizing candidates in time zones in or close to US Pacific time to help us collaborate together.
We intentionally look for those who are a value add to our culture. We have internal compensation band transparency to ensure equal pay. We default to asynchronous communication. By reducing the number of meetings, we can build a scalable asynchronous culture and enable us to collaborate across time zones as we grow.
Though we are distributed, we know that nothing replaces the connection that is created in person. That’s why we prioritize in-person offsites, and pay for a WeWork office near you. Each department is empowered and enabled with a healthy budget to hold department-level offsites.
We believe that the small things in work-life really matter and add up. Micro-moments of connection during our work days are essential. We use quarterly OKRs that map to annual goals to ensure that we’re all focused on the most meaningful and impactful work that aligns with our business goals.
Don't Meet Every Single Requirement?
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Storytell we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
