About The Position

Joby Aviation is redefining mobility through electric flight—and telling one of the most exciting technology stories of our time. We are building something that has never existed before, and we’re looking for a Content Producer who is excited to help tell that story from the inside.
This is a junior-level, hands-on creative role for someone early in their career who has a deep love for storytelling, a curiosity about aviation and engineering, and a desire to grow alongside a fast-moving team during a pivotal moment in Joby’s journey.

This is a great opportunity to have front-row access to flight testing, manufacturing, and the people building the future of transportation.
This hire will play a central role in shaping how our stories are told—owning post-production while also being a primary on-site shooter and audio producer.
Reporting to the Senior Content Manager, you will work closely with in-house creatives and cross-functional partners, learning how to build a scalable, high-quality content operation as Joby’s storytelling footprint grows significantly.
