Role Purpose

This is a creative role. The input is raw studio footage of cars — clean, static, well-lit. Your job is to turn it into short-form content (15–60 seconds) that performs on TikTok and Instagram Reels: hooks that hold attention, cuts that land on the beat, formats that match what the algorithm is rewarding right now. Rhythm, timing, and trend awareness matter more here than technical polish.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit short-form videos (15–60 sec) from studio automotive footage for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts
• Select and sync music and sound effects; match cuts to beat and current platform trends
• Apply colour grading, motion graphics, and text animations — price callouts, feature highlights, detail emphasis
• Adapt a single source asset into multiple formats and aspect ratios (length variations, vertical/horizontal)
• Monitor TikTok and Instagram trends continuously — transitions, sounds, formats — and bring new ideas to the team proactively
• Maintain brand consistency and meet the team's content release cadence

Requirements

• Portfolio of dynamic short-form edits for TikTok or Instagram — automotive content is a plus but not required; the editing style matters more
• Strong command of at least one professional editing tool (Premiere Pro, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent)
• Developed sense of rhythm and timing — you edit to music, not just alongside it
• Clear understanding of short-form video mechanics: the hook, attention retention, pacing, and what makes people watch past the first three seconds
• Self-directed: able to take raw footage and propose edit concepts without a shot-by-shot brief
• Conversational English for day-to-day team communication

Nice to Have

• Experience editing content for automotive channels, dealerships, marketplaces, or catalogues
• Familiarity with automotive content formats: detailing, test drives, before/after, comparisons
• Basic audio design skills: mixing, level normalisation, sound layering
• Experience managing high-volume output — multiple edits per day from a continuous stream of source material

Working Conditions

• Format: fully remote, full-time
• Competitive compensation, discussed individually

Final-stage assessment: Candidates who reach the final round will edit one short-form video from provided raw studio footage.
