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, we believe in balancing individual flexibility and community connections. It’s through our flexible work benefit, Scribd Flex, that employees – in partnership with their manager – can choose the daily work-style that best suits their individual needs. A key tenet of Scribd Flex is our prioritization of intentional in‑person moments to build collaboration, culture, and connection. For this reason, occasional in‑person attendance is required for all Scribd employees, regardless of their location.
So what are we looking for in new team members? We hire for “GRIT”—the intersection of passion and perseverance toward long‑term goals. We look for someone who showcases the ability to set and achieve goals, achieve results within their job responsibilities, contribute innovative ideas and solutions, and positively influence the broader team through collaboration and attitude.
