The role in one line:

You will cut the short-form videos that five automotive brands run on Instagram, YouTube and other Meta and Social platforms.

Who we are:

Trident Automobiles is one of Karnataka's largest multi-brand dealer groups: Hyundai, Renault, BharatBenz, JCB and Trident Trust (used cars). Around 3,500 people across sales, service and parts. For over 2 years now, we've been building the digital team in-house rather than outsourcing it. That means the person we hire is not producing decks for a client. You are producing the thing that goes live, that day, to a real audience, and you will see what it did.

What you will actually do:

- Cut vertical short-form video (reels, shorts) from raw footage shot at our branches and events
- Turn walkarounds, delivery moments, service explainers and offer announcements into content people finish watching
- Hold a consistent look per brand across five brands with genuinely different audiences (a JCB backhoe buyer and a Hyundai first-car buyer are not the same person)
- Work with the digital marketing team on concepts, not just execution. If you have a better idea than the brief, we want it
- Build and maintain the asset library so output scales: templates, logo packs, music beds, b-roll, so the tenth video takes less time than the first
- Ship to deadline. Automotive content is time-bound, since an offer that goes live two days late is a wasted offer

What we need you to have:

- Storytelling and editing short-form video skills,



ideally for brands or agencies with real posting volume
- Fluency in DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere Pro, plus After Effects or equivalent for motion graphics, and CapCut for speed work
- Demonstrable command of vertical format: hooks in the first two seconds, pacing, on-screen text, captions, protected zones for each platform
- Sound editing you do not need help with: levels, music selection, voiceover cleanup, ducking
- Colour grading that holds up across footage shot on different phones and cameras in bad showroom lighting
- The organisational discipline to hand over a project file someone else can open and understand

Nice to have:

- Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts work you can point to with real view numbers
- Photography, including stills at shoots
- Any exposure to automotive, real estate or another product category where the product is physically large and hard to shoot well
- Basic understanding of paid social, and how a cut for organic differs from a cut for an ad

Why this job over an agency:

- In-house, one client. No pitch decks, no five rounds of client revisions on a fifteen-second reel.
- Your work ships and gets seen. Same day, most days. You will not build a portfolio of unpublished concepts.
- Physical access to the product. New launches, test vehicles, JCB machines on site, delivery days. You can go and shoot the thing.
- We are building the function, not staffing it. The templates, workflow and asset system you build become how Trident does video.
