The Forward is seeking a Social Video Producer to collaborate with reporters and editors to tell compelling, distinctive visual stories that drive engagement and discussion on Jewish news, culture and community. This role will grow the Forward’s visibility and engagement on social media through work as a writer, producer, editor, and sometimes on-camera host. The ideal candidate has produced social-first videos that reached large audiences on major platforms and has experience producing video connected to journalism; has used platform-native analytics to drive audience development; and has helped colleagues succeed. The role involves brainstorming video ideas, writing scripts, integrating graphics, producing, editing and posting distinctive videos that grow our audience, and collaborating with others; candidates can be on-camera or behind-the-scenes but should mentor colleagues who appear in video content. Videos may include explainers, clips of newsmakers/events, live talkbacks, video op-eds, character-driven features, and mini-documentaries. The Social Video Editor will be a member of the News Guild, with a salary range of $70,000 to $80,000 depending on experience, and generous health benefits and PTO. The position will report to the Editor-in-Chief and work closely with the VP of Strategy and Audience. The Forward’s newsroom is in New York City, with a generous hybrid work policy for area residents, but we are open to qualified candidates who work remotely from other locations with some visits to New York as needed. To apply, send your resume to jobs@forward.com (subject line: Social Video Producer) with a cover letter describing the first three videos you’d want to produce and a link to videos or a portfolio representing your best work.
