Shutterstock is a creative-content platform that licenses stock photos, video, and music to customers worldwide. The company employs about 1,224 people and added roughly 69 new team members while 118 employees departed over the same period, signaling measured growth and manageable turnover. With a diversified workforce spanning technology, sales, and business support functions, Shutterstock continues to invest in talent that supports its marketplace and enterprise offerings.
Engineering is the single largest department with approximately 265 employees, underscoring Shutterstock’s focus on platform reliability and product development. Customer-facing teams are also significant: Marketing and Product account for about 247 employees, while Sales and Support include another 212 team members. Business Management (153) and Finance and Administration (109) provide operational backbone, and an additional 236 employees are distributed across various specialized roles labeled as Other. Smaller niche groups in Healthcare, Risk & Compliance, Education, and Real Estate together make up only a handful of positions, reflecting Shutterstock’s core emphasis on digital content rather than industry-specific services.
Shutterstock’s workforce is anchored in New York City, where roughly 345 employees are based at its headquarters. The company maintains a notable presence in Dublin (75), Los Angeles (37), and London (36), supporting both engineering and commercial operations. Smaller satellite offices in Toronto, Denver, Berlin, Singapore, and San Francisco collectively house fewer than 100 employees, while approximately 85 staff work remotely or in other unspecified locations. This distribution illustrates a hybrid approach that blends a sizable hub with strategically placed regional teams to serve a global customer base.
