Hourly base pay rate is $23.17 - $34.81/hour. The hourly base rate may vary within the anticipated range based on factors such as the ultimate location of the position and the selected candidate’s knowledge, skills, and abilities.

POSITION SUMMARY: The Digital Content Producer produces audience-focused content with an emphasis on things to do and entertainment, including both written and video content. The producer will also work closely with the Access Atlanta Social Media Producer to post content across all of the brand’s channels, including Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube and more.

One day, you might be covering a music festival – attending the event, capturing video and still photography on location, and then editing your work into a 30-second reel – and the next you might be helping package up another producer’s work for posting across our brand channels.

The ideal candidate has social media video experience and will be comfortable working as a “one-person band” — shooting, writing and editing a full short-form video but also working with a full crew in other situations as the on-air reporter in larger productions.

Access Atlanta’s motto is “Our City. Your Experience” and our team is dedicated to highlighting all of the amazing activities and businesses across metro Atlanta. You must have reliable transportation and will spend much of your time on locations, reporting and shooting – with one day per week in our Sandy Springs office.
