Work with us
Narrative is home to builders, risk-takers, artists, and storytellers. Our products are designed to empower the everyday modern photographer.
Shape the future of photography
Since our launch in 2019, we’ve acquired thousands of loyal photographers from across the world. As one of NZ’s leading AI companies, we use leading-edge technology and have a tech stack that most developers dream of.
Our team is located in Auckland, New Zealand. We’re backed by some of the biggest US and NZ based VCs.
Our guiding values
We're Daring
Daring to do, we step up to the plate, even if no-one asked. We act decisively to make brave and bold choices. We push the boundaries of innovation, intrepidly exploring on unknown shores.
We're Nimble
Our agility helps us have the greatest impact. We strive for efficiency with a pragmatic approach in order to extract maximum value. We have the flexibility to pivot and adapt to new challenges and seize new opportunities.
We're Curious
Photographers are at our core. We strive to understand how they work, think and feel. Our deep empathy roots us in their world, so we feel every pain-point as our own. This means we can deliver the best solutions and make the strongest connections.
We're a Fellowship
Our bond is forged by respect and trust. Because we respect each other, we can be honest with each other. Honesty leads to trust. Trust allows any voice to speak without fear, collaboration to thrive and fun to flow.
Meet your colleagues
Our team is made up of individuals from diverse backgrounds. We are photographers, engineering doctorates, creatives, engineers and we’ve grown to employ talent from companies like Google and Xero. We all share the common trait: being awesome at what we do. Get to know some of us:
We have a multidisciplinary team at Narrative where together we can achieve things that no single person could achieve by themselves and as an AI team.
I am given the time and freedom to truly learn about photographers and what makes them tick – then feed that back into the product.
There aren't that many companies in NZ that are focusing on a creative domain and AI like Narrative.
I have a two-month-old baby at home and so being down to 32 hours a week means I can have flexibility at home to help my wife and my newborn son.
I love that we take initiative and we adapt quickly and pivot when needed. We also respect, support and uplift one another and we have this big empathy for the photographers.
We're building something meaningful here. If you love solving real problems with a team that truly cares you'll feel right at home at Narrative.
I live over an hour's drive away so being able to work from home three days a week is great.
One of the things that really drew me to the role is the fact that Narrative believes in employee ownership and that gave me a sense of belonging and a sense of pride in being part of the workplace.
