Job Title: Full-Time Video Editor for Automotive Brand (Short-Form Reels/TikTok) — $5–8/hr
Job Type: Full-Time, 40 hours/week
Salary: depending on experience and test results
Job Description:
We Reject Paint (WRP) is a premium automotive customization shop in New York City. We work on exotic and luxury vehicles — Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Porsches — doing paint protection film, window tint, and vehicle wraps. Our content shows these builds to hundreds of thousands of viewers on Instagram and TikTok, and we're hiring a full-time editor to own that pipeline.
What you'll do:
Edit short-form vertical videos (Reels/TikTok) from raw shop footage we upload daily to Google Drive
Cut clips with strong hooks in the first 2 seconds — retention is everything
Add captions/subtitles, sound design, music synced to trends, and clean pacing
Deliver 1–2 finished videos per day once you're up to speed
Follow our brand style and take feedback fast — we move quickly
Requirements:
Proven experience editing short-form content (Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts)
Proficient in CapCut Pro and/or Premiere Pro
Strong sense of pacing, hooks, and what performs on social — not just technical editing
Automotive content experience is a big plus but not required
Reliable internet, able to download large video files daily
Available to work with some overlap with US Eastern Time for feedback
Good written English
Paid test project:
Every serious applicant will be given a short paid test edit using our real footage. This is how we hire — your test is your interview. Do well and you start immediately.
How to apply:
Start your application with the word SQUEEGEE so we know you read this
Send links to your 3 best short-form edits (car content first if you have it)
Tell us which software you use and your soonest start date
Include your expected hourly rate
We're looking for someone long-term who grows with the shop. If you love car content and can make videos that stop the scroll, apply now.
