Reports to : Senior Operations Director / Creative Director, Dobbino Atlanta. About Dobbino Dobbino—an anagram forBBDO + Innovation—brings together a team of multi-hyphenated creators developing interest-led, platform-first content at the speed and scale of culture. We are algorithm-obsessed, collaborating with platforms and guiding brands through the ever-changing social shifts. Powered by technology from proprietary intelligent automation to industry-leading AI partnerships. Atlanta is our hub—a cultural mecca of emerging talent—supported by offshore teams and our 16k-strong global creator marketplace. The Role As a Social Content Editor, you'll be responsible for editing and occasionally capturing short-form, social-first content that connects with audiences through authenticity, relatability, and creativity. You'll have a sharp eye for pacing, rhythm, and storytelling—knowing instinctively what works on today's social platforms. While your primary focus will be on editing engaging content for feeds, reels, and stories, you'll also have the confidence to get behind the camera when needed, capturing raw, social-native footage that feels real, unfiltered, and platform-appropriate. This role sits at the intersection of creativity and culture—perfect for someone who lives and breathes social media and knows how to make content that people actually want to watch, share, and talk about. Responsibilities Edit short-form, social-first video content optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other platforms. Capture basic, behind-the-camera social content as needed (handheld, mobile, or lightweight setups). Collaborate with creatives, strategists, and animators to craft culturally relevant, trend-aware content. Source and assemble footage, sound, and graphics into fast-paced, engaging social edits. Cut and adapt existing material into platform-specific formats and lengths. Keep up with platform trends, editing styles, and viral content mechanics. Manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously. Ensure all output is on-brand, on-brief, and creatively sharp. Requirements 3–6 years' experience as a video editor, preferably focused on short-form or social content. Strong understanding of interest-based content and platform-specific storytelling. Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro (After Effects and Photoshop a plus). Skilled in editing fast-turnaround, culturally relevant content for social feeds. Ability to shoot short-form, social-style content with a smartphone or compact camera. Keen awareness of social trends, visual styles, and audience behavior. Organized, reliable, and comfortable working across multiple time zones. A collaborative mindset with excellent communication and problem-solving skills. Self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, remote creative environments. Bonus Experience editing content for brands or creators with a strong social presence. Basic motion graphics or color-grading experience.
