Contract /
On-site
At Skyways, we are building a new form of air transportation—what some call the flying car. Backed by fresh funding and a major STRATFI contract from the U.S. Air Force, we’re uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of aviation innovation. Our fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent a breakthrough opportunity to move goods—and soon, people—in ways that are faster, safer, and more efficient than ever before. Unlike anyone else in the industry, our strategy blends rapid iteration with real-world deployment, and it’s already paying off.
Skyways is a fast-growing startup based in Austin, TX, supported by top Silicon Valley investors including Y Combinator. Though we’re early-stage, our vehicles are already in production and in the hands of paying commercial customers (see here and here). With robust financial backing and government partnerships accelerating our momentum, there’s never been a better time to join us and help build the future of transportation!
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Content Marketing Specialist who can immerse themselves in our world—joining flight tests, walking the production floor, and visiting customer demonstrations. Your job is to capture and tell the Skyways story in a way that is engaging, credible, and accessible for customers, investors, and the public.
This role is perfect for a creative storyteller with a journalist’s eye, a marketer’s instinct, and the ability to shoot and edit photos and video. If you thrive on being close to the story instead of just writing about it, you’ll fit right in.
The position will start at roughly 20 hours per week, with the potential to grow into a full-time, 40-hour role as you become more embedded with the team.
What You'll Do:
- Plan and produce a variety of content, including written, photo, and video content from daily technical wins, field tests, and customer demos.
- Write blog posts and social media content.
- Create employee, customer, and partner stories through interviews and case studies.
- Collaborate with leadership, engineering, and flight teams to find new story opportunities and ensure all content aligns with the Skyways brand voice.
- Provide content for newsletters, investor updates, and customer-facing decks.
- Support media and PR efforts with visuals and build an internal media library of photos and video clips.
What You'll Bring:
- 3-5+ years of experience in content marketing, journalism, or multimedia storytelling. Experience in aerospace, robotics, defense, or tech is preferred.
- Strong interviewing skills to talk with engineers, operators, and executives.
- Proven ability to capture and edit high-quality photos and video in fast-moving environments.
- Excellent writing skills for both short-form social media content and long-form articles.
- Comfortable working in the field at flight test sites and production facilities.
- The ability to manage projects from start to finish.
Bonus Points:
- Experience managing social media accounts, especially LinkedIn, for a B2B or tech brand.
- Direct experience in the aerospace, aviation, or robotics industry.
- Proficiency with specific photo/video editing software (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite).
