Forbes Advisor is hiring a Video Editor to join our growing Creative team and help produce high-volume, performance-oriented video creative for paid social. About The Role We produce high-volume short-form social content on Meta, focused on fast-moving, performance-oriented creative. We’re looking for someone who understands how to create platform-native content with strong pacing, hooks, retention, and storytelling instincts for social-first environments.

AI is increasingly part of our production toolkit, and you'll be expected to use AI-assisted workflows where they make sense, from generating or modifying footage and images to creating variations and speeding up repetitive production tasks.
