Short-Form Video Editor for Luxury Automotive Brand — Start Today

SHORT-FORM VIDEO EDITOR FOR LUXURY AUTOMOTIVE BRAND — START TODAY

Kozak Detailing is a premium automotive detailing company based in the Chicago area. We’re looking for a skilled short-form video editor to help grow our Instagram brand and create selected videos for Facebook and Instagram advertising.

You can view our work ---------- is not strictly an ad-editing position. Most of the content will be organic Instagram Reels showcasing our detailing process, vehicle transformations, customer stories, behind-the-scenes footage, and the growth of our company. Some videos will also be repurposed into paid advertisements.

We care heavily about quality. The editing should feel clean, smooth, modern, and premium—never cheap, overly flashy, or filled with unnecessary transitions.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Edit approximately five short-form videos per week
• Turn raw detailing footage into engaging 15–60 second Reels
• Create strong openings that immediately earn attention
• Add clean captions, music, sound design, and subtle effects
• Match supporting footage to exactly what is being discussed
• Repurpose footage into different hooks, lengths, and CTAs
• Edit both organic brand content and direct-response advertisements
• Deliver vertical videos formatted correctly for Instagram and Facebook
• Make new creative variations based on content or ad performance

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Proven short-form editing experience
• A portfolio containing similar Instagram Reels or paid social creatives
• Strong understanding of pacing, retention, curiosity, and storytelling
• Ability to make automotive footage feel polished and premium
• Good judgment without needing every cut explained
• Strong English comprehension so visuals accurately match the script
• Reliable communication and consistent deadlines
• Ability to deliver most edits within 24 hours
• Long-term availability

Automotive, luxury-brand, or local-service editing experience is strongly preferred.

IMPORTANT

We are looking for someone who can begin immediately. If selected, you must be available to complete a paid test edit and begin working the same day.

COMPENSATION

Starting compensation is $400 per month for approximately five short-form videos per week.

More involved advertisements or additional variations may be paid separately. Compensation can increase as the quality, reliability, and workload grow.

HOW TO APPLY

Start your application by telling us your favorite premium dream car and why you chose it. This is required—applications that skip this question will not be considered.

Please also include:

1. Your three best short-form edits—do not send your entire portfolio.
2. At least one automotive, luxury-brand, or promotional video.
3. Your usual turnaround time for a 30–60 second video.
4. The editing software you use.
5. Confirmation that you can complete a paid test and begin today.
