Gauntlet Storyteller — Part-Time, In-House (Austin, on-site)

Part-Time In-House Austin, On-Site ~10 hrs / week

What does this role do?

Partner with the Gauntlet AI Marketing team (and others as needed) to build a complete portfolio of what success at Gauntlet AI looks like. Day to day, that breaks down into five things:

Identify storylines

Help us find the iconic storylines that become the basis of our content library: alumni advancing their careers, challengers who have done exceptional work, hiring partners sharing real outcomes. Every story is grounded in a before and after so people can feel the change.

Longer arcs could include a "lifecycle of a challenger" — pick roughly 5 strong challengers per cohort and follow them with interviews across the 10 weeks.

Complete our portfolio

Each week, fill gaps in our video library with intention, based on what is happening in and around the office, and always with a focus on the highest priority needs first.

Demonstrate thought leadership

Work with individuals, such as CTO Ash Tilawat, to capture their thoughts on the changing AI landscape and how they are driving innovation in the space.

Capture serendipity

Beyond the plan, create content in the spur of the moment: a late night working session, a team brainstorm that leads somewhere, a group tackling a big problem.

Edit for distribution

Package captured content into usable assets, an interview, Demo Day, or any other library material, ready for the go-to-market team to use.

1+ hour

of usable, edited footage delivered on average every week. Not every week is equal, but that is the bar.

What we're looking for

  • Excellent interview skills. You are the one with the microphone. Putting subjects at ease, coaxing great lines, and digging deeper in the moment are critical to the role.
  • Your own kit. High quality video equipment and editing software that produces usable output.
  • Fully independent. Show up, film the identified storyline, and turn it into finished content on your own.
  • Fast, organized turnaround. Deliver finished cuts to a shared Drive folder quickly, with rush delivery within 12 to 24 hours for time-sensitive moments.
  • Comfortable with an intense pace. We will build a structured capture schedule together, but expect sporadic, high-intensity stretches (event days, hiring-partner visits, cohort milestones) that are hard to anticipate, with room to scale down between them.
  • Genuine curiosity and people skills. The ability to make busy, high-status guests comfortable enough to give a great on-camera moment in minutes.
  • A feel for the audience. You get that we are speaking to software engineers and corporate partners, so content emphasizes builder credibility, what people actually accomplished, and the caliber of people in the room.
  • Media Day support. Help run Media Day each cohort when needed (headshots, hiring-partner interviews). We have a playbook and will hand the process over to you.

The details

Commitment

Targeting around 10 hours per week for both capture and editing. Some weeks may need more, and we will give as much advance notice as possible.

Type

Part-time, in-house, on-site in Austin.

Ownership

Gauntlet retains ownership of all footage and final assets (work-for-hire). You may use finished pieces for your portfolio.
