Why you'll love working here
We're committed to building products for professional photographers who work with people from all genders, ethnicities, racial and religious backgrounds. We think it’s important that our team reflects the same diverse audience. We're actively working to grow a diverse team and offer:

• Flexible and remote working options

• 1 month paid parental leave in addition to government leave

• 30 hours a week for up to 6 months on full pay following return from parental leave (for both birthing and non-birthing parents)

• Extended sick leave to support our team to get through the many things life can throw your way.

• Based in our office on Karangahape Road in Auckland, New Zealand, with the option to work remotely for three days a week. We find it’s important to have time for face-to-face communication, while also allowing some days to work from home, if one wants.

• Competitive salary commensurate with skills and experience, a 6 monthly review cycle, plus participation in a generous employee share option scheme.

You might work on:

Depending on your experience and interests, you could contribute to:

• Defining product strategy and roadmaps across our AI-powered tools

• Translating insights into features that improve photographers’ daily workflows

• Leading cross-functional teams through discovery, validation, and delivery

• Conducting user research and driving iterative improvements

• Managing launches and ensuring product/market fit at scale

• Collaborating closely with design, engineering, marketing, and support

• Advocating for user needs while balancing technical constraints and business goals

We welcome people from product management, product design, product strategy, research, or adjacent roles. If you think like a product person and care about solving the right problems in the right way, you’ll fit in well here.

Our ideal candidate:

You're curious, thoughtful, and care deeply about users. You know when to sweat the details and when to move fast. Whether you're early in your product career or bring years of experience, you're comfortable owning problems end-to-end and collaborating closely with others. You love the challenge of balancing customer value, technical complexity, and business impact.

Bonus if you have an interest in photography, AI, or building for creative communities — but it’s not required.

At Narrative, we're building AI software to help a wide range of people. We're looking for a team that shares our passion for this work. Research shows that some candidates apply when they meet about 60% of the criteria, while others hesitate unless they meet them all. If you're excited about joining Narrative and eager to grow, go ahead and apply - even if you don't check every box.
