About The Company
At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), our mission is to spark human curiosity. Join our team as we create a world of stories and knowledge, democratize the exchange of ideas and information, and empower collective expertise through our four products: Everand, Scribd, Slideshare, and Fable.
We support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer.
When it comes to workplace structure, Scribd Flex enables employees — in partnership with their manager — to choose the daily work style that best suits their needs. A key tenet is prioritizing intentional in-person moments to build collaboration, culture, and connection. Occasional in-person attendance is required for all Scribd employees, regardless of location.
We hire for “GRIT”: Goals, Results, Innovation, and Team. Here’s what that means for you: the ability to set and achieve goals, deliver results, contribute innovative ideas, and positively influence the broader team through collaboration and attitude.
