Company Overview
At StoryTerrace, we’re on a mission to ensure every life story is captured in a meaningful way. As an award-winning publishing-tech scale-up with headquarters in London and a presence in the US and UK, we help individuals transform their personal stories into professionally written memoirs—leaving a lasting legacy for the people who matter most. We’ve created thousands of books through our proprietary platform, Bookmaker, and our network of 600+ ghostwriters. Featured by major outlets including GQ, The Times, and BBC Radio 4—and even winning BBC Dragons’ Den in 2020—we are the market leader in this rapidly evolving industry.

In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams—from editorial and product to engineering and data science—to ensure that every manuscript is accurate, compelling, and fully reflects our clients’ voices. If you have a passion for AI, a knack for creative problem-solving, and a commitment to delivering high-quality solutions, we want to hear from you!
