    Description

    Volunteer Opportunity: Podcast & Storytelling Director

    Help expose fraud. Amplify victims’ voices. Drive meaningful change.

    WhiteKnight is building something different.

    We’re creating a platform that helps small businesses who have been defrauded find resources, organize evidence, navigate the legal system, and ensure their stories are heard.

    We’re looking for a Volunteer Podcast & Storytelling Director to build and lead a mission-driven podcast that shines a light on fraud, cybercrime, business scams, legal reform, and the people working every day to protect victims.

    What You’ll Do

    You’ll own the podcast from concept to publication, including:

    • Develop the podcast’s editorial vision and content calendar.
    • Recruit, mentor, and coordinate a team of volunteer producers, researchers, and outreach coordinators.
    • Identify and book compelling guests.
    • Conduct thoughtful interviews that uncover meaningful stories.
    • Capture the experiences of entrepreneurs, families, and organizations impacted by fraud.
    • Build relationships with:
      • Crime victim advocacy organizations
      • Cybersecurity experts
      • Attorneys and investigators
      • Law enforcement professionals
      • Journalists
      • Whistleblowers
      • Policy leaders
    • Help transform interviews into educational content across YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, and other platforms.
    • Create a podcast people genuinely look forward to because every episode teaches something important and gives a voice to someone who deserves to be heard.

    Who We’re Looking For

    You don’t need decades of podcast experience.

    We’re looking for someone who is:

    • Naturally curious
    • An excellent listener
    • Comfortable speaking with executives, victims, attorneys, and investigators
    • Highly organized
    • Passionate about storytelling
    • Able to coordinate volunteers and keep projects moving
    • Excited about building something from the ground up

    Experience with podcast production, journalism, video editing, or content creation is a plus, but passion and initiative matter more.

    Our Mission

    Fraud destroys businesses, careers, savings, and lives.

    Most victims never get the opportunity to tell their story.

    We believe those stories deserve to be documented, preserved, and shared—not just to educate others, but to improve the systems meant to protect them.

    If you’re passionate about investigative storytelling, legal technology, consumer protection, or building media that makes a real impact, we’d love to work with you.

    Help us create the podcast that victims wish already existed.
