You’re hungry to make things.

Funny things. Beautiful things. Strange little things that somehow work. Fast things made on an iPhone. More considered things that need a camera, some lights, and an actual plan.

You notice things. The weird sign at the gas station. A lawn ornament with more personality than most brand campaigns. Four seconds of perfect light hitting a parking garage. A transition you replay because you need to know how they did it.

Premiere. After Effects. Canva. Cap Cut. Final Cut. Adobe Express. Something else entirely.

Fine.

We care much more about what you can make than the software you make it in. You should be able to shoot, edit, and make graphics move.

If you can bounce comfortably between Adobe and Canva without starting a philosophical argument about it? Gold star.

This is an Associate-level role reporting to the Executive Creative Director.

You’ll work in tandem with the Social Media Supervisor and closely across creative, social, strategy, and account teams.

You’ll be part of the conversation early, helping shape what social can be and then figuring out how to make it real.

The mission is simple: help Dotted Line make more social-first work worth noticing while expanding what we can shoot, edit, animate, and produce in-house.

• Take ideas from concept through capture, edit, and finish across Reels, Tik Toks, Shorts, Stories, and whatever the internet invents next.
• Shoot, edit, and add type, motion, sound, and visual treatments that make the work better.
