Careers at True Motion Auto

Join the team building honest, plain-English automotive content for buyers, owners, and drivers.

Operations Region: Global Updated July 2026 By the True Motion Auto editorial team
Quick answer

True Motion Auto hires across editorial, data/SEO, engineering, and commercial partnerships, with roles open to remote and hybrid applicants across our core markets (US, UK, India). Most editorial roles require a writing sample and a short paid test assignment; there is no cover-letter requirement — we read the work first.

What it's like to work here

We're a mid-size independent publisher, not a car dealer or manufacturer, and not a giant media conglomerate either. That means editorial decisions are made by editors, not by an advertising calendar, and a small team can ship a well-researched guide without six layers of sign-off.

Open role categories

  • Editorial — reporters, category specialists (EV/green tech, finance, maintenance), copy editors
  • Data & SEO — technical SEO, content performance analysts, structured-data specialists
  • Engineering & Product — site reliability, front-end development, internal tooling
  • Commercial — partnerships, advertising operations, media sales

How hiring works

  1. Apply with a resume/CV and, for editorial and data roles, two or three writing or work samples
  2. A recruiter screen to confirm scope, compensation range, and logistics
  3. A short paid test assignment relevant to the role (a real, small piece of the actual job)
  4. Panel interview with the hiring manager and future teammates
  5. Offer and reference checks

What we look for

For editorial roles specifically, we care more about clear thinking and sourcing discipline than years of bylines. Can you explain a complicated trade-off in plain English? Can you tell a reader who a car or a loan is wrong for, not just who it suits? That matters more than a masthead name.

No unpaid work

Every test assignment we ask candidates to complete is paid at our standard freelance rate. We don't use hiring pipelines to source free content.

Benefits and logistics

Compensation, benefits, and time-off policy vary by country of employment and are confirmed during the recruiter screen rather than published as a single global figure, since employment law and benefits norms differ significantly between the US, UK, and India.
