The Jaguar Land Rover Tech Incubator encourages, promotes, and supports U.S.-based, early-stage software startups that are positioned to disrupt the world of connected cars and infotainment technologies. We’ll work with around 120 startups over the next decade, housing up to six companies at a time, and provide them with resources to get their ideas off the ground, succeed in an automotive environment, and keep Jaguar Land Rover customer offerings at the forefront of innovation.

We are seeking a talented Creative Producer for the Jaguar Land Rover Tech Incubator team. The core functions of the Creative Producer will be working with the Incubator team to develop video and photography-based content to support the needs for the startups in our program, as well as the Incubator as a whole.
