At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and onto real job sites. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. We retrofit the heavy equipment contractors already own, starting with excavators, so experienced crews can safely take on more projects and deliver more of the critical infrastructure our society needs.
In August 2026, Bedrock-equipped excavators began doing fully autonomous, paid work on live commercial job sites. We've more than doubled our customer base since 2025, and our machines now work with contractors across the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic
In October 2026, we raised a $600M Series C co-led by CapitalG and Emergence Capital, bringing our total funding to nearly $1B. We're using it to put more autonomous machines to work, build the field and operations teams behind every deployment, and expand into new machine types and job-site tasks.
This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch. If you're ready to do meaningful work on hard problems, we'd love to have you join us.
Bedrock is looking for a Creative and Editorial Lead to build the storytelling engine behind our brand. Working closely with Bedrock’s brand, communications, and marketing leaders, you’ll set the editorial direction and quality bar for everything we publish. You’ll turn customer proof, technical progress, and stories from the field into compelling editorial content, video, and digital campaigns that establish Bedrock as a defining voice in autonomous construction and physical AI.
This is a senior, hands-on role for a seasoned creative generalist who can write and edit high-stakes work, uncover stories worth telling, develop original concepts, and guide creative teams from initial idea through final delivery. You’ll build the standards, workflows, and production capabilities that enable us to deliver high-quality work at high volume and grow our in-house creative and editorial studio. Alongside our communications strategists and PR agency, you’ll ensure those stories reach further and strengthen Bedrock’s presence in the market.

Translate complicated technical ideas into clear, memorable, and persuasive narratives without flattening their intelligence or relying on generic technology marketing language.
Develop recurring editorial franchises and signature formats that create a sustained, recognizable Bedrock presence—such as customer field stories, technical explainers, documentary-style content, and original perspectives on construction and physical AI.
Use market, audience, and competitive insight from the Insights function to prioritize story opportunities, editorial formats, campaigns, and creative work.
Lead external agencies, freelance writers, designers, photographers, filmmakers, producers, and specialist partners from briefing through final delivery.
Over time, build and lead a lean internal newsroom and creative studio, likely including writers and editors, a producer, and a flexible bench of freelance writers, photographers, filmmakers, designers, illustrators, and specialist agencies.
Travel periodically to customer sites, active jobsites, production shoots, and selected industry moments to uncover stories firsthand, direct creative work in the field, and ensure Bedrock’s storytelling remains grounded in the reality of construction.
8+ years of experience in editorial, creative direction, brand writing, content strategy, journalism, media, agency creative, entertainment, digital production, or a comparable storytelling discipline.
A strategic creative generalist who can connect audience insights, business priorities, customer evidence, and cultural relevance into work that earns attention and changes perception.
Demonstrated ability to turn complicated, unfamiliar, or technical material into clear, surprising, credible, and compelling stories.
The ability to learn complex subjects quickly, ask strong questions, and earn credibility with contractors, field crews, technical teams, customers, and company leaders.
Experience guiding creative work across multiple formats and channels, including the ability to develop concepts, write strong briefs, give clear feedback, manage production, and direct agencies or freelancers toward a high-quality final product.
A hands-on orientation. You enjoy doing the work, and are prepared to write, edit, interview, shape, and ship important work yourself.

A collaborative, low-ego working style.
A portfolio is helpful but not required. Relevant work may include editorial writing, brand and campaign work, customer storytelling, executive narratives, journalism, video, documentary, television, digital media, or creative-production leadership.
