About the Team

We have a high-performing ALL-STAR culture and team and are headquartered in Lehi, UT. We offer a competitive compensation package including salary, bonus, health benefits, unlimited PTO, and lots of flexibility.

The “Big Why” driving the company’s mission is to strengthen families, so Chatbooks co-founders Nate and Vanessa Quigley have deliberately created a company culture that’s supportive of employees’ whole lives. Their goal is that everyone on the team can put this mission into practice in their own lives, whether that’s flexibility to go to a child’s dance recital and hit up the gym during lunch, or time off to recharge and travel the world.

Some recognitions we’ve received include: 2022 Top Workplaces USA, 2022 Fortune Best Medium Workplaces, 2022 Best Workplaces for Millennials Award, 2022 Best Workplaces in Technology—just to name a few.

Chatbooks strives to be an employer-of-choice for women and parents by offering flexible working options, welcoming kids in the office, and strongly supporting women in leadership roles. Women currently make up 56% of the company’s leadership positions.

At Chatbooks, we have put incredible focus into building a team of high-performing “All-Stars.” All-Stars have 6 characteristics: Grown-Up (you manage yourself and your time & handle disagreements without drama), Ship (you get things out the door efficiently, and manage shifting priorities), Amazing (your work is simply AMAZING!), Optimistic (you share solutions instead of problems), and Kind (you’re consistently kind to teammates and partners), Hungry (you feel the urgency to make progress and execute relentlessly) . If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk!

Closing

We are committed to providing an inclusive work environment—where we welcome, celebrate, and honor varying backgrounds, beliefs, and perspectives—because it makes our business better. 

We fully embrace diversity, equality, and inclusion as guiding principles as we build our company and grow our team. We are passionate about creating an amazing workplace where you can be yourself and bring your best self to work.

Our commitment includes equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, sexual orientation, age, gender, gender identity, disability, parental or pregnancy status, marital status, or veteran status.
