This is a 12 month contract role- based in our Sydney or Melbourne offices with the option to work flexibly.

Mission

You will use stories to add vibrancy and colour to the world of Blackbird. Those stories will make Blackbird a magnetic force for the wildest hearts and inspire many more people to invent, create and shape the world they want to live in.

The role

Stories run rich through Blackbird. They start with our founders, and they turn up everywhere after that: in Giants and Foundry, at Sunrise and Collisions, in the Foundation's work, in the updates we send our investors.

Told well, those stories have the power to inspire a new generation of wild hearts. They pull more people towards building the companies of the future. They show our investors how rare our community is. And they make the case, to people who've never given it a thought, that invention and entrepreneurship are among the most worthwhile things a person can spend a life on.

This is a full-stack storytelling role. You can take a story from the first glimmer of an idea through to something finished and out in the world. You're a generalist across formats: not the best at any one of them, but solid across writing, design, film and more,



so you rarely need to hand the work to someone else to make it real. You'll work closely with our Creative Director to bring the work out with clarity, meaning and heart.

What matters most

- You build community, and are passionate about Founders, startups and the journey from zero to one and beyond. You'll spend real time with founders and the people around them, and earn the kind of trust where the valuable stuff reaches you first. You do this for the joy of being close to people making remarkable things, not because you like networking.
- You know a great story when you see one. You have a strong sense for what will resonate and you know a great story when you see one.
- You can produce it yourself. You write, design, shoot, edit, build. You can take a story most of the way on your own.
- You're genuinely creative, and your taste is good. A designer's eye, not just a writer's. You'll be one of the people who protects the Blackbird brand, in language and in design, and who notices when it slips. "You hold conviction in that taste, you'll take feedback seriously, but you won't let it talk you out of what you know is right."
