At Audible, we seek to exemplify what a company can mean beyond what it does. We moved our headquarters to Newark in 2007 to become part of the city’s renaissance. As the city’s fastest-growing private employer, we recruit and cultivate local talent as well as drive forward a wide range of community initiatives with a focus on returning Newark to its roots as a hub of innovation. Our global offices embrace the same principle, and our employees around the world volunteer and serve in their communities in addition to seeding and growing the local creative economy.
