Careers at Book Hero

Who We Are

We are not your typical bookseller.

Yes, we love books. But we also love technology and innovation. We are analytical. We care deeply about great in person customer service and running a beautiful bookstore. We obsess over systems that scale, data, fulfilment speed and the small details that most people never see.

We are united by one thing: wanting to do things differently and build something special.

Most of us probably do not fit in everywhere. But we fit in here.

What We’re Building

We are building an online bookstore we are genuinely proud of.
One we shop at ourselves. One we are proud to send to our friends and family.

We sell books - a lot of them. And we are expanding into a growing range of book-adjacent products you can enjoy together, like puzzles, board games and toys.

We care about quality products.
We care about service.
We care about getting it right.

Our Culture

We are focused and we move quickly.

We care deeply about our customers. Every decision comes back to them.

We are not corporate, but we are professional and respectful. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves.

We bring our individual personalities to work. We do not expect everyone to think the same way or look the same way. In fact, it is because we are different that we are great.
