Forbes is an iconic global media brand that has symbolized success for over a century. Fueled by journalism that informs and inspires, Forbes spotlights the doers and doings shaping industries, achieving success and making an impact on the world. Forbes connects and convenes the most influential communities ranging from billionaires, business leaders and rising entrepreneurs to creators and innovators. The Forbes brand reaches more than 140 million people monthly worldwide through its trusted journalism, signature ForbesLive events and 49 licensed local editions in 81 countries.

Forbes is looking for a Social Video Producer/Editor with proven experience creating original, vertical-first video content for platforms including Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. This is a true hybrid producer/editor role requiring strong creative, editorial and organizational skills. The ideal candidate is a confident editor and creative producer who can develop compelling short-form content while helping manage a high-volume video operation. Working closely with the Social Strategy and Video teams, this person will help oversee the day-to-day social video pipeline, ensuring projects move efficiently from production through publication. To be considered, applicants must include a portfolio demonstrating original, social-first video work and evidence of successful audience reach and engagement. This position will require 5 days a week in office in Jersey City or on-site at events.

Responsibilities

  • Create and edit high-quality, vertical-first social video with strong judgment around hooks, pacing, structure, captions and the opening seconds that drive audience attention and retention.
  • Edit quickly and confidently in Adobe Premiere Pro, delivering polished assets on deadline and working within existing Forbes graphics, captioning and audio standards.
  • Own the day-to-day social video pipeline, tracking the content backlog, edits, approvals, deadlines and deliverables from production through publication.
  • Coordinate with Social Strategy, Video and other stakeholders to prioritize work, manage timelines and support efficient rollout of a high volume of short-form content.
  • Identify and develop strong social-first opportunities from existing footage, interviews, events and other Forbes video, while contributing ideas for new short-form concepts and recurring formats.
  • Support the planning and production of vertical video tied to Forbes editorial priorities, working closely with the Social Strategy and Video teams to execute against the broader programming strategy.
  • Partner with the Social Strategy team on interview preparation, research, question development and other pre-production needs for social-first shoots and event coverage.
  • Participate in shoots and on-site event coverage, helping ensure content is captured with vertical and social deliverables in mind.
  • Collaborate with Forbes’ Social Strategy and Video teams to adapt long-form video for social, execute original short-form content and support projects across editorial, events, sponsored programs and other Forbes programming.
  • Maintain a strong understanding of Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and other relevant platforms, applying evolving formats, audience behavior and vertical video best practices to each project.
  • Maintain Forbes’ journalistic, editorial, brand and creative standards across all work, while supporting publishing and distribution workflows as needed.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Has a proven track record creating vertical, social-first video that performs, with portfolio examples demonstrating strong audience viewership, engagement or other meaningful performance.
  • Is highly creative, with strong instincts for developing original, Forbes-relevant video concepts, recurring formats and compelling hooks that make audiences want to stop and watch.
  • Understands short-form storytelling and can independently shape footage into an engaging vertical video, with strong judgment around the opening seconds, pacing, structure, captions and retention.
  • Uses performance and audience behavior to inform creative decisions and continually improve short-form storytelling.
  • Has 1–2+ years of hands-on experience editing in Adobe Premiere Pro and can work quickly and confidently across a high volume of vertical video edits. Experience with Photoshop and Figma is a plus.
  • Is exceptionally organized and able to manage a large pipeline of projects, deadlines, deliverables and competing priorities. Experience with Asana or similar project-management tools is a plus.
  • Demonstrates strong editorial judgment and an understanding of news, business, culture and the types of stories and ideas that resonate with Forbes audiences.
  • Is proactive, collaborative and comfortable working across Social Strategy, Video and other teams, incorporating feedback quickly while bringing ideas and creative solutions to the table.
  • Maintains a strong understanding of Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and the evolving formats, behaviors and best practices that shape successful vertical video.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
