Location Requirement: Full-time, on-site at Sunnyvale HQ

Job Summary

Knightscope is hiring a Content Creator to produce fresh, on-brand content that advances Knightscope’s brand and the nation’s first Autonomous Security Force (ASF) narrative across every major digital channel. Reporting to the Senior Creative Director, this role owns day-to-day content production for LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. This role will also establish a live streaming presence on Twitch and other emerging platforms. The Content Creator will play a visible role in repositioning Knightscope from a robotics company to a premium Managed Security Services Provider, supporting the company’s marketing priorities including a new Podcast Studio One, website overhaul, and flagship industry events.

About the Role

This is a hands-on, multi-disciplinary role for a digital storyteller who thrives on the full content lifecycle – from concept and script to shoot, edit, publish, and analyze. You will be the creative engine behind the ASF brand story: writing sharp social copy, cutting short-form vertical video for TikTok and Reels, producing long-form content for YouTube and the forthcoming audio/video Podcast Studio One, and operating live streams from Knightscope HQ and from the road. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Senior Creative Director and cross-functionally with the executive, sales, and investor relations teams to translate Knightscope’s mission into content that resonates with enterprise security buyers, industry operators, investors, and the broader public. Travel is a core part of this role: expect 6–10 trips per year, in-state and out-of-state, to trade shows, client events, and investor-facing engagements, all expenses paid. This role is fully on-site at Knightscope HQ in Sunnyvale, CA, with a minimum 40-hour work week.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, produce, and publish daily content across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, ensuring every post reflects the Autonomous Security Force messaging framework and brand standards.
• Shoot and edit short-form vertical video (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) and long-form video (YouTube) featuring Knightscope technology, teammates, clients, and events.
• Produce, host, and/or operate live streams on Twitch, YouTube Live, LinkedIn Live, and other platforms, including setup of scenes, overlays, audio, and multi-platform simulcasting.
• Support Podcast Studio One operations, including pre-production, in-studio capture, editing, episode publishing, and multi-channel promotion.
• Travel 6–10 times per year to trade shows (including GSX), client sites, investor events, and marketing activations to capture and produce on-site content under tight turnaround windows.
• Write on-brand social copy, video scripts, captions, titles, thumbnails, and descriptions that apply Knightscope’s voice, terminology, and “Say This / Not That” messaging standards.
• Maintain a rolling content calendar, coordinate review and approval cycles, and ensure on-time delivery tied to the 2026 Campaign Timeline and earnings-related events.
• Monitor performance across platforms using native analytics including HubSpot, report on engagement, growth, and content-attributed traffic, and translate insights into continuous improvement.
• Monitor comments, mentions, and DMs across channels, engage the community in Knightscope’s voice, and escalate customer, investor, or press inquiries to the appropriate team.
• Track emerging platforms, formats, and creator tools, piloting new approaches that keep Knightscope’s content ahead of the curve in a fast-moving digital landscape.
• Adhere to disclosure, confidentiality, and communications guidelines appropriate for a publicly traded company, coordinating closely with the Senior Creative Director and CEO on sensitive content.

Required Qualifications

• 2–4 years of hands-on content creation experience in an agency, in-house brand, creator-economy, or comparable role, with a portfolio of published work and demonstrated account or channel growth.
• Platform-native fluency across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok, including an understanding of algorithmic behavior, post formats, and audience dynamics unique to each channel.
• End-to-end video production skills, including shooting with mirrorless cameras, basic lighting and audio capture, and professional editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro.
• Proficiency with short-form vertical editing tools such as CapCut, and working knowledge of motion-graphics basics in Adobe After Effects or Premiere-native templates.
• Hands-on live-streaming experience with OBS Studio, Streamlabs, or similar, including scene construction, audio routing, overlays, and multi-platform simulcasting via tools such as Restream or StreamYard.
• Working proficiency with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and with production-grade template tools such as Canva Pro or Figma for volume asset creation.
• Strong copywriting and scriptwriting skills, with demonstrated ability to adopt and sustain a specific brand voice across posts, videos, and long-form content.
• Experience with native platform analytics, Google Analytics 4, UTM tracking, and a social-management platform such as Sprout Social, Hootsuite, Later, or Buffer.
• Comfort working with AI content tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Descript, ElevenLabs, or equivalents) to accelerate drafting, editing, and ideation while maintaining editorial quality.
• Excellent project-management and organizational skills, with the ability to juggle multiple concurrent productions, meet deadlines, and hit publish cadence under pressure.
• Willingness and availability to travel 6–10 times per year, in-state and out-of-state, and to work a minimum 40-hour week on-site at Knightscope HQ in Sunnyvale, CA.
• Ability to pass a standard background check, consistent with Knightscope’s operating environment as a security technology company.
