What We Do

Notion blends your everyday work tools into one. Product roadmap? Company wiki? Meeting notes? With Notion, they're all in one place, and totally customizable to meet the needs of any workflow — from teams of 1 to over 1,000. Notion is the connected workspace for you, your team, and your whole company.

Mission: We humans are toolmakers by nature, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use every day — arguably our most powerful tool. Here at Notion, we're on a mission to make it possible for everyone to shape the tools that shape their lives.

Why Work With Us

Here at Notion, our work shapes our culture and our culture inspires our work. We seek to hire creative toolmakers that want to be the best in their craft. If every employee is able to focus on being the best toolmaker in their craft, we'll be able to achieve our mission of enabling the world to better solve its problems.
