Work and Play at Yoto
Join the team
Yoto is inspiring the next generation of independent, creative minds.
Our mission is to be the soundtrack of childhood, and help families on their own unique adventures.
Our screen-free audio players let kids listen, learn and play at their own pace. All while making sure they’re safe to explore what inspires them.
Our offices are in London and New York, and we also have small teams based around the world. We have in-house expertise in hardware and software, technology development, product, marketing, commercial and retail. We’re excited to build and develop a tight-knit and energetic team to help make Yoto the next great family brand!
Culture & Values
Our values are focussed on how we support our families and how we grow our team. We are proud to say we live by the following core principles:
Kids in Control Children are at the heart of everything we do. By designing for simplicity and safety, we give kids the freedom to explore what inspires them.
Helping Families Every family is on their own unique adventure. So we go beyond playtime to create products that bring joy and positivity to family life.
Building with Empathy The answers aren’t in here, they’re out there. By listening, learning and creating with care, we get better every day and build products that families love.
Embrace Difference When we’re our true selves, we’re our best selves. We trust, respect and support each other so that life and work can work together.
Playfully Inquisitive Building the future should be fun! We approach problems with an open mind and a childlike curiosity, happily learning new things along the way.

I joined the North American Content Team almost four years ago and I still believe “there’s no place like Yoto.” I’ve made several moves during my career and Yoto is and remains my favorite employer by far. I love my team, have a wonderful manager, the work/life balance is amazing, and I truly love being able to bring fantastic audio experiences to children.

We are respectful of your personal and family life at Yoto. We know you are at your best when you can bring your whole self to work - and that means making sure you have time to do the things that are important to you, both in and outside of work.
We offer a choice-based approach to working, with a minimum of once a week in our Brooklyn office. Plus a flexible approach to start/stop times, around our core hours. We see core business hours as defining the etiquette when most meetings will be set/business activity conducted, not determining when you must be working.

Who we aspire to be
We celebrate diversity at Yoto. We’re proud to help families foster an inclusive home environment and we are working hard to offer a wide and diverse library of content, which also means building a diverse and inclusive team where new voices, beliefs, and perspectives are heard, supported by our passionate DE&I group.
Our social committee 'The Ministry of Fun' helps bring the team together. We have monthly “Wine Downs” in the office and a yearly retreat, “Yotofest”, where we spend time together outside of work. We have lots of other forums to support other groups such as Parents, Women and ESG, and we are constantly looking to improve our ways of working, to foster a work setting where everyone feels fulfilled and can thrive.
