Content Coordinator (UK)

We’re looking for a Content Coordinator (UK) to support our content team that are powering the growth of Yoto at an exciting moment in the company’s journey.

Nice to meet you!

Yoto is inspiring the next generation of independent, creative minds.

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.

The award-winning Yoto Player launched in early 2020 and quickly found a home on the world’s playmats, kitchen counters and bedside tables. It was later named one of TIME Magazine’s Top 100 Inventions of 2020. Yoto Mini, our portable player, launched in late 2021 and has accompanied kids on countless adventures. It won a D&AD pencil in 2022.

Our Card Store has 1,000 titles from some of the world's best creators, publishers and labels – think LEGO and Peppa Pig, Roald Dahl and Eric Carle, indie musicians and Sony. We also create Yoto Originals like this one.

Yoto Content team

Content is at the heart of our business, and we have a dedicated team of children’s media specialists – with experience across publishing, music, education, and audio production – who carefully consider every title that makes it into our library. We license existing audio from some of the biggest names in the world of kids’ entertainment (Disney, Penguin Random House, Mattel, HarperCollins and more), and also develop and produce our own content as part of our Yoto Originals range.

You will report to the Head of UK Licensing and work closely with the other members of the Content team.

About Yoto

We're a Series A tech company with a well-funded and fast-growing international team.

Our offices are in London and New York, and we also have a small and excellent team based in France. We have in-house expertise in hardware and software, technology development, product, marketing, commercial and retail.

We operate a ‘choice-based’ approach to where we work. This means the day-to-day decisions on where you work are up to you. You could call it hybrid working but we don’t see the need to be that formal. We see it as more fluid and we trust our team to make choices that reflect the needs of their role, team and the wider organization. We are therefore ideally looking for someone NYC-based (or who can easily commute to NYC) who can manage a balance of home working and some time in the office with the rest of the team. That said, we are open to fully remote applications if the candidate is the right fit for the position and has had previous experience in a remote setting.

We’re excited to build and develop a tight-knit and energetic team to help make Yoto the next great family brand!

Flexible working and autonomy are key to life at Yoto. We support working parents because we know that life and work need to work together. And just as we share audio content from a diverse community of creators, we also strive to build an inclusive team. Our passionate DEI group raises new voices, beliefs, and perspectives to help everyone at Yoto feel heard. Check out our website for more info on our approach to People and Planet.
