Careers at OverStory

For more than 4 years, OverStory has been delivering positive outcomes for publishing and media companies. We work with the most suitable technologies, and the latest toolsets. The concepts and designs are often exciting, interesting and thought provoking. We are growing, and are therefore looking for these roles to join our team.

At OverStory, it’s not just a case of what you do, but how you do it. We care about how we work, and staff behaviors are just as important as their technical skills. We perpetually look to delight our customers with high quality solutions that add value.

*Listing values is often too prescriptive, as we’re looking for exceptional individuals. However, if you can identify with qualities such as creativity, respect, adaptability, curiosity, responsibility, empathy and great communication, then you’re on the right track.
