Role Overview

Forbes Media is looking for a highly organized and motivated Associate Video Producer to join its busy video team. In this role, you will help drive short-form video execution, manage the video library, and support the delivery of organic, sponsored, and custom distribution campaigns.

Applications from outside these states cannot be considered due to business and compliance requirements.

Responsibilities

• Cut and package video clips so they can perform independently across different platforms, using sound editorial judgment and strong knowledge of Forbes content and brand voice.
• Work closely with producers, sales partners, social strategists, and other stakeholders to deliver sponsored campaign assets quickly, often within a 24-hour window.
• Build and maintain an organized video archive that makes it easy to repurpose content for editorial, social, and sponsored needs.
• Publish content across Forbes YouTube channels, Forbes.com, and other third-party platforms, including writing optimized titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails, and playlists.
• Track performance metrics across platforms and turn analytics into practical recommendations for retention and audience growth.
• Assist the podcast team by uploading audio files to the appropriate distribution channels.
• Support production for Forbes summits and conferences, including turning event footage, backstage interviews, and social clips into polished digital content.
• Partner with the social strategy team on social-first projects and content delivery.
• Help source, research, outline, and draft scripts for daily news videos and longer feature pieces.
• Collaborate with teams across social, design, photo, SEO, and newsroom functions to improve and expand video opportunities.
• Work with the engineering team to flag platform issues, manage tickets, and support feature improvements.
• Apply Forbes editorial standards and the Forbes brand voice consistently across metadata, scripts, and promotional copy.
• Take on additional duties as business needs change over time.

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, highly collaborative, and comfortable working with executives, PR teams, and outside talent.
