## Job description

Mission Summary:

As the Story & Content Creation Senior Specialist you will operate as both an investigative journalist and a creative producer. Your mission is to find, capture and produce the stories within the company that help showcase innovation, progress and team work.

The ideal candidate won’t wait for a brief; you find the story, storyboard the vision, and then grab a camera or a laptop to bring it to life. You will own the day-to-day execution of content discovery and creation while leveraging your manager as a sounding board and escalation point for high visibility initiatives.

What you’ll be doing:

1. Story Discovery and Development

- Internal Storyhunting: Proactively build relationships with engineering, product, and operations teams to identify technical achievements and human-interest stories that align with our brand pillars.
- Format Agility: Adapt stories across multiple channels, for both internal and external audiences: content may include a technical blog post, a 60-second "day-in-the-life" video, a LinkedIn article, or a photo essay.
- Storyboarding: Draft scripts and visual storyboards that translate complex AI concepts into relatable, accessible storytelling.

1. Content Creation

- Production: Be ready to capture video and photo assets on the fly—whether it's an interview with a lead engineer or behind-the-scenes at a test track.
- Writing: Write engaging social media posts, blogs posts and internal notes that position our technology as a market leader and showcases commitment to innovation and team work.
- Short-Form Content: Produce and edit quick-turnaround social clips that feel authentic, human, polished, and informative.

1. Storytelling

- Technical Translation: Interview subject matter experts (SMEs) and translate "engineer-speak" into stories that resonate with the public, business partners, regulators, and investors.
- External Voice: Help capture the "voice of our customers" through interviews and community stories.

What we’re looking for:

- Experience: 2-5 years in journalism, storytelling or content creation (bonus points for experience in tech, automotive, or aerospace).
- Creative Experience:
- Writing: Strong long-form and short-form copywriting skills.
- Visual: Proficient in mobile or photography and videography.
- Editing: Experience with Adobe Creative Cloud or similar tools to produce "ready-to-post" assets.
- Curiosity: A natural storyteller and the ability to ask the right questions to uncover why a technology matters.
- Portfolio Required: Must show a portfolio (e.g., articles, videos you scripted/shot, and social posts).

This role is hybrid from our Boston or Pittsburgh office. It requires two in-office days each week, ideally Tuesday and Thursday.

Motional is a driverless technology company making autonomous vehicles a safe, reliable, and accessible reality. We’re driven by something more.

Our journey is always people first.

We aren't just developing driverless cars; we're creating safer roadways, more equitable transportation options, and making our communities better places to live, work, and connect. Our team is made up of engineers, researchers, innovators, dreamers and doers, who are creating a technology with the potential to transform the way we move.

Higher purpose, greater impact.

We’re creating first-of-its-kind technology that will transform transportation. To do so successfully, we must design for everyone in our cities and on our roads. We believe in building a great place to work through a progressive, global culture that is diverse, inclusive, and ensures people feel valued at every level of the organization. Diversity helps us to see the world differently; it’s not only good for our business, it’s the right thing to do.

Scale up, not starting up.

Our team is behind some of the industry's largest leaps forward, including the first fully-autonomous cross-country drive in the U.S, the launch of the world's first robotaxi pilot, and operation of the world's longest-standing public robotaxi fleet. We’re driven to scale; we’re moving towards commercialization of our technology, and we need team members who are ready to embrace change and challenges.

Formed as a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Group and Aptiv, Motional is fundamentally changing how people move through their lives. Headquartered in Boston, Motional has operations in the U.S and Asia.
