Do you friggin’ love cars? Do you spend an unhealthy amount of your time on auto enthusiast forums and websites? Do you enjoy writing and do it for a living or write passionately about your hobby? Does your passion for writing and love for all things automotive have you dreaming of the day when you can combine the two? Well, today’s your lucky day.



Right now, the APEX Race Parts marketing department is at the crossroads of “let’s make awesome sh*t” and “ain’t nobody got time for that”. We’re searching nationally for skilled and creative Enthusiast Content Creators to augment our small, but effective team.

You’ll refine our educational guides, bolster our product pages, and create content that attracts enthusiasts to our site. You need to be a bit of a technical editor – you’ve gotta know and love cars. Got knowledge of the rapidly-changing strategies on content dissemination? Yep, you need that too. Formal journalism experience is great, but so is an applicant whose written project build threads, DIY guides, and detailed product reviews.

Enthusiasts smell bulls**t marketing from a mile away and APEX has always been known for our trusted guidance and education before selling any products. As we’ve grown, we’ve lost the bandwidth to churn out meaningful content and deliver in depth write-ups that the performance automotive community appreciates and enjoys. Your mission is to get us back to our roots. You’ll be our investigative journalist who’ll pick the brains of our product experts, chase down our engineers for raw data, and shake down anyone else necessary in order to publish thought-provoking articles. Your technical and fitment guides will be eye openers. Your tutorials will set new benchmarks. Your opinion pieces will make you a known personality in the community. You will be a true enthusiast.
