• • Competitive and fair compensation: We believe in fair pay--equal pay for equal work. For each title, we consistently apply competitive salary bands based on market data and benchmarks which are reviewed twice a year. What you've been paid before, fear of conflict, or willingness to negotiate does not play a part in determining your pay.

    • The annual base salary range for this position is $137,000 - $153,000. Placement within the range is determined by a variety of factors, including but not limited to: knowledge, skills, years & depth of experience, and equity with internal team members.

    • Company-paid medical: Our medical, dental and vision premiums are covered 100% for you and your dependents.

    • Paid parental leave: Welcoming new family members is exciting, but it can also be challenging. We offer twelve weeks paid leave for primary caregivers and four weeks for secondary caregivers.

    • Unlimited vacation: At Storyblocks, we believe in the importance of taking time off when you need it. Typically, employees take about three or four weeks each year. Plus, two company-wide week breaks in July and December.

    • Flexible work options As a fully remote company, we've got you covered no matter where you are. Remote work stipend? Check. Company and team events? Check.

    • Flexible work options: All of our work is virtual. As long as you deliver results, you are welcome to get your work done during unusual times when desired.

    • Company-sponsored mentorship and growth: We encourage attending virtual meetups and are happy to host them as well. We also have a leadership coach, on staff, available to all employees to enhance your professional development.

    • Employee perks: We help employees maintain work-life balance and honor their contributions to the organization by offering resources such as a financial wellness program, a subscription service that offers unlimited deliveries from thousands of eligible restaurants with $0 delivery, and a recognition and rewards program that celebrates their accomplishments.
