Automotive Journalist

About the Role

OTO Drive — the automotive media arm of SelfDrive Mobility — is looking for a passionate and driven Automotive Journalist to join our fast-growing content team.

This isn't just another newsroom role — it's a front-row seat to the future of mobility. You'll be on the ground with the latest cars, covering events and launches, and behind the mic shaping conversations that influence how the region experiences driving.

If you live and breathe cars, storytelling, and content creation — this is your stage. You'll be one of the faces of OTO Drive, blending journalism, anchoring, and production across digital, video, and social platforms — from car reviews and road trips to industry insights and brand collaborations.

Responsibilities

  • Anchor car reviews, mobility news, and OTO Pulse segments for YouTube, radio, and social media.
  • Research, script, and produce engaging automotive stories with accuracy and depth.
  • Cover brand launches, test drives, and major auto events across the region.
  • Manage sponsor deliverables and ensure all brand integrations are met.
  • Contribute website content, features, and editorial articles.
  • Oversee shoot schedules, production timelines, and editorial deadlines.

Requirements

  • Strong command of spoken and written English.
  • Proven on-camera or editorial experience in media, journalism, or automotive content.
  • Deep understanding of the automotive industry and emerging mobility trends.
  • Experience in scripting, production planning, and deadline management.
  • Confident, camera-ready personality with strong storytelling skills.
