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. This role suits someone who is comfortable working in a collaborative, iterative workflow where creative is regularly tested and refined. We value consistency, responsiveness, and creative judgment over overly polished brand-style editing. This person is both a strong craftsperson and a creative thinker. You’ll work closely with Creative Directors, Creative Strategists, AI Creative Lead to turn scripts, concepts, footage, and generated assets into compelling, platform-native creative. You'll also be expected to contribute to the creative process itself, bringing ideas and editorial judgment to improve the work rather than simply executing against a brief. We are a human-led creative team that uses AI to move faster without diluting craft. 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. You don't need to be an AI specialist, but you should be curious, hands-on, and comfortable learning new tools as the technology evolves. This role will support the Forbes Advisor Home vertical.
