Automotive Video Editor + Social Media Content Manager

Auto Dude Mobile Detailing & Ceramic Coatings is a premium automotive detailing company based in Texas, USA.

We are looking for a long-term Automotive Video Editor + Social Media Content Manager who can take raw footage from our detailing, ceramic coating and paint correction jobs and turn it into high-quality short-form content.

This is NOT a basic virtual assistant position.

We need someone with strong creative judgment who can review a folder of raw footage, understand the vehicle and service being performed, select the best clips, tell a story, create the finished video, and manage the content through posting.
We want someone with creative instincts who can help us build a recognizable automotive brand, not just edit whatever footage is handed to them.

You should not need us to tell you which individual clips to use every time.

Responsibilities:

• Edit approximately 12–15 high-quality short-form videos per month
• Review raw footage and independently choose the strongest clips
• Create before, process and after storytelling for automotive jobs
• Edit Instagram Reels, TikToks and YouTube Shorts
• Write strong hooks, captions and on-screen text
• Schedule and publish content to Instagram, Facebook , TikTok and YouTube Shorts
• Create Stories using available footage
• Organize footage by vehicle/job and keep track of what has already been used
• Maintain a simple content calendar
• Repurpose strong footage without making the content repetitive
• Blur license plates or private customer information when needed
• Perform your own quality-control check before anything is published
• Create organic videos that can also be adapted into Meta ad creatives
• Learn and maintain Auto Dude’s visual style
• Create a balanced mix of content, not just serious promotional videos
• Create funny automotive memes, relatable car-owner content, trend-based posts and lighter personality-driven content when appropriate
• Research strong automotive, detailing and car-culture pages for inspiration and identify content styles, hooks, memes and trends that could fit Auto Dude
• Use reference pages we provide as inspiration while still creating original content for our brand
• Balance educational, promotional, transformation, entertaining and meme-style content so the page feels active and human, not overly corporate
• Understand when a job should become a polished before/after video versus when the footage would work better as a meme, trend, reaction or casual post

We prefer fewer excellent videos over a large amount of mediocre content. Quality, judgment and storytelling matter more to us than simply completing a quota.

This role does NOT include Google Ads, Meta Ads campaign management, SEO, website management, CRM/GHL management or sales. Those responsibilities are handled separately.
Requirements:

• Strong short-form video editing experience
• Automotive editing experience is strongly preferred
• Excellent clip-selection and storytelling ability
• Experience with CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or similar software
• Comfortable working with large folders of iPhone footage
• Understand pacing, hooks, transformations and before/after reveals
• Good written English
• Very strong attention to detail
• Able to work independently without constant supervision
• Reliable internet connection
• Able to receive direct feedback and apply that feedback to future work
• Good sense of humor and understanding of current social-media trends

To apply:
1. Start your application with the words CERAMIC COATING so we know you read the full job post.
2. Send a link to your portfolio.
3. Send your 3 best short-form videos.
4. Send at least 1 automotive video you personally edited, if available.
5. Tell us exactly what you personally handled on those videos.
6. Tell us which editing software you use.
7. Tell us your expected monthly pay for 15–20 hours per week.
8. Tell us about any experience managing Instagram, Facebook , TikTok or YouTube accounts.
9. Send one example of a funny, meme-style or trend-based post you created or believe would work well for an automotive brand.

Applications without portfolio examples will not be considered.

Final candidates will be offered a small PAID editing test using real Auto Dude footage. We will provide the same raw footage to each finalist and ask you to independently create one short-form video. Clip selection, storytelling and creative judgment will be part of the evaluation.

We are looking for someone long-term who wants to learn our brand and eventually be able to manage the content process with minimal direction.
