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.\nForbes is seeking a Senior Editor, Social who understands how journalism travels on social platforms and how to make it perform. The role is a vital part of the newsroom’s audience team and will lead social strategy across Facebook, X and LinkedIn, as well as emerging platforms, ensuring editorial quality while driving readers back to Forbes. This editor will identify the stories that matter most and make sure they reach the right audience. You’ll work closely with editors, reporters and design staff to get stories packaged and posted quickly, and help plan rollouts for tentpole projects, from major list launches (Under 30, Billionaires) to investigations, features, breaking news and contributor content. Strong candidates have sharp news judgment, superior writing skills and enthusiasm for figuring out the best ways to convert interest in our stories on social platforms into actual Forbes readers. They should be constantly testing new approaches to reach readers and adjust quickly when platforms change.\nThey must have a strong command of all available performance data, make clear decisions and explain why something is working (and why it isn’t).

The compensation range is what we believe we will offer, and ultimately pay, a successful candidate. In determining this range, we consider the experience, level of education (if applicable to the role), knowledge, skills, and abilities required to be had by a successful candidate as well as the budget and the company’s pay rates, generally. This said, we may have to make changes to our compensation estimates and job descriptions from time to time and we expressly reserve the right to do so. Should we make any such changes, this advertisement will be revised to reflect such revisions. We encourage you to occasionally re-visit this advertisement to ensure that you are abreast of any changes.\nThis role may evolve over time. While this job description outlines the primary responsibilities, additional duties may be assigned as business needs change. Forbes aims to offer employees the flexibility they need in order to be successful. Some positions may require candidates to be based in a specific location for consideration while some roles may be fully remote (within the U.S.) if it aligns with the needs of the position. This position is only open to candidates residing in California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, & Washington.
