ABOUT US
Storyteller is a high growth B2B SaaS platform which allows companies to integrate Stories into their owned and operated platforms. Popularized by Instagram and Snapchat, Stories are perfectly suited for boosting user engagement, audience retention, and driving advertising revenue. For customers, building their own stories experience can take years and a lot of investment however Storyteller has solved this by allowing companies to integrate in days, not years all for one monthly cost.
Our end‑to‑end platform gives companies a best‑in‑class Stories experience in days with native iOS, Android, and Web SDKs, publishing tools, analytics, and ad support.
We work with many globally recognised clients, particularly within sport, so if you're a sporting fan this could be a great fit!
SUMMARY

Because you’ll be working closely with sports organisations every day, we’re specifically looking for candidates who genuinely love sport or have a strong interest in a particular sport.
