We’re growing at Dooley! Would you - or someone you know - be a good fit?

Job Title: Content Editor & Creator

Reports to: Creative Director

Location: Cincinnati preferred; hybrid or remote

Start date: ASAP

Employment options: Full-time, part-time independent contractor, or part-time with the potential to transition to full-time

WHO WE ARE

Dooley helps brands find their rhythm on social.

Many brands are either stuck moving too slowly with big creative ideas or moving fast without a clear plan. Dooley bridges that gap through an award-winning approach that combines strategy, creative, content, paid media, and creator partnerships into one complete social system.

We work with brands like Marzetti, Joico, Gold Star, Visit Cincy, and The Christ Hospital to help them show up consistently and meaningfully—pairing big ideas with the daily execution and optimization needed to drive real impact.

We’re a collaborative, growing team that values humility, curiosity, creativity, professional growth, work-life balance, and mental wellness.

WHO YOU ARE

We’re looking for a Content Editor & Creator who can turn raw footage, existing assets, and creative ideas into engaging, social-first content.

Editing will be a significant part of this role. You should genuinely enjoy shaping stories in post-production—identifying the strongest moments, tightening the pace, incorporating sound and motion, and adapting content for different platforms and audiences.

You’re also comfortable stepping outside the edit. You can contribute ideas, help develop concepts, capture content, and collaborate with teammates and clients to bring creative work to life.

You’re proactive, curious, organized, receptive to feedback, and energized by the fast-moving nature of social media.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Approximately 2–5 years of professional video editing and content production experience preferred, or comparable expertise demonstrated through a strong portfolio of social-first work

• A portfolio that demonstrates strong editing, pacing, storytelling, sound selection, and visual judgment

• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Canva, and CapCut

• Experience editing short-form video for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, paid social, and other digital placements

• Strong understanding of hooks, retention, pacing, captions, graphics, transitions, music, and sound design

• Ability to transform raw footage and existing brand assets into polished, platform-appropriate content

• Experience resizing, reformatting, versioning, and optimizing content across platforms and placements

• Ability to write or refine concise on-screen text, headlines, captions, and video scripts

• Strong file-management, organization, and project-management skills

• Ability to manage multiple clients, projects, deadlines, and rounds of feedback

• Experience capturing quality photo and video content with a smartphone; professional camera experience is a plus

• A strong eye for visual aesthetics, brand consistency, and engaging storytelling

• Working knowledge of major social platforms, current content formats, and creative best practices

• Strong communication and collaboration skills

• Willingness to occasionally travel for client shoots, events, or team collaboration

• Flexibility for occasional shoots outside standard working hours

• Bonus points if you have design experience, like putting together social media carousels and presentations

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Edit short-form and social-first video content for a variety of clients, platforms, campaigns, and objectives

• Review and organize raw footage, identify the strongest moments, and shape them into clear, compelling stories

• Incorporate music, sound effects, captions, graphics, motion, and transitions to strengthen each piece

• Adapt content for organic social, paid social, multiple aspect ratios, and platform-specific placements

• Create alternate cuts and variations based on platform needs, performance insights, and client feedback

• Collaborate with the Creative Director, strategists, account leads, and other creators to understand client priorities and identify content opportunities

• Participate in brainstorming sessions and contribute ideas for ongoing content and larger campaigns

• Help develop creative briefs, scripts, shot lists, and production plans ● Capture authentic photo and video content during occasional client shoots, on-site visits, and events

• Create content using newly captured footage, existing client assets, photography, and brand materials

• Apply social trends and editing techniques thoughtfully while maintaining each client’s brand voice and visual identity

• Manage project files, timelines, revisions, exports, and final deliverables

• Use performance data and audience response to help improve future content

• Stay current on platform changes, emerging formats, editing techniques, and social creative trends

LOCATION AND WORK ARRANGEMENT

We prioritize candidates based in the Cincinnati area who can participate in our hybrid work environment. Because this role is primarily focused on editing, we’re also open to remote candidates who are available for occasional travel to Cincinnati or client locations.

This opportunity may be structured as:

• A full-time employee role

• A part-time independent contractor role of approximately 20–30 hours per week

• A part-time engagement with the potential to transition into full-time employment

WHAT WE PROVIDE

Full-time employees are eligible for:

• Profit-sharing bonus opportunities

• 401(k) matching

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage

• Short-term disability and life insurance

• Parental leave

• Unlimited PTO

• A flexible, hybrid work schedule

• Company-provided equipment

• Learning and professional-development opportunities

• Business-casual dress
