Audio/Visual Content Lead

Castle Automotive Group
Oakbrook Terrace, IL

We're hiring an Audio/Video Content Lead to join our team at Castle Automotive Group/Zero Friction Marketing. What You'll Do: As an Audio/Video Content Lead, you will live in the future of media. You'll craft sound and vision into compelling narratives - from dealership events to vehicle features to team spotlights. You’ll develop our audiovisual brand voice, lead content production, and ensure each clip sings (literally or figuratively). Audio/Video Content Lead Responsibilities:

  • Guide creative development: conceptualize and pitch video/audio content that fits Castle’s brand and marketing strategy.
  • Produce high-quality, engaging short-form content—TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, dealership walk-throughs, team features, and event recaps.
  • Manage the content lifecycle: from ideation to editing to publishing across platforms.
  • Collaborate with the in-house Zero Friction Marketing team to align messaging with SEO, social media, and broader marketing goals.
What You’ll Bring:
  • A proven track record of turning raw footage into scrollstopping stories.
  • Robust skills in video editing (Adobe Premiere, Final Cut), audio mixing (Audition, Pro Tools), and content packaging for social media.
  • Creative quirkiness—you're part videographer, part storyteller, part cultural curator.
  • Organizational savvy—you can wrangle content schedules and post calendars.
  • Bonus: automotive or retail experience, but it's not mandatory—great content transcends industries.
What You’ll Gain:
  • A collaborative, innovative workplace where your projects matter—and your voice is heard.
  • Competitive compensation with benefits.
  • Growth pathways in a company that values performance-driven development.
  • The joy of making car content compelling and interesting.
Technical Mastery and Creative Vision
  • Proven proficiency with professional editing software (Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects).
  • Audio editing (Adobe Audition, Logic, or Pro Tools).
  • Understanding of different formats (vertical, widescreen, square) and platform nuances (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn).
  • A strong portfolio that shows you can turn raw footage into compelling narratives.
  • Eye for cinematic framing, pacing, and storytelling—your edits carry rhythm and emotion, not just transitions.
  • Ability to ideate fresh content formats that make car culture, team culture, and retail automotive entertaining.
Strategic Thinking
  • Comfortable collaborating with marketing leads and turning brand objectives into creative deliverables.
  • Knack for understanding audience behavior—what drives scroll-stopping engagement and what gets ignored.
  • Ability to balance speed and quality: you can deliver quick-turn social edits without sacrificing polish.
Work Ethic & Collaboration
  • Self-starter who can manage a production calendar without constant hand-holding.
  • Clear communicator who can direct talent.
  • Detail-oriented.
Bonus Points
  • Experience with live event capture (multi-camera setups, livestreams).
  • Motion graphics / animation skills to enhance storytelling.
  • Familiarity with SEO and social media analytics to measure content impact.
Benefits We Offer
  • 401(K) and employer match
  • Major medical, dental (50% employee paid premiums)
  • Vision
  • Voluntary Benefits (Accident, Critical Illness, Disability, and more)
  • Life Insurance
  • Paid Time Off
  • Employee vehicle purchase discounts
  • Career advancement opportunities
Salary Range: $50,000 to $70,000/year Compensation will be based on performance and experience; pay ranges may vary from displayed amounts We are looking for qualified, quality people who are ready to start their career within our family.
