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.
The person in this role will play a key role in growing the Forward’s visibility and engagement on social media through their work as a writer, producer, editor, and sometimes on-camera host.
The ideal candidate will have produced social-first videos that have reached large audiences on major platforms and will have experience in producing video in connection with journalism. They will have used platform-native analytics to help drive decisions about audience development. And they will be a colleague who has helped others succeed.
The person in this hands-on role will work with speed and accuracy to brainstorm video ideas, write scripts, integrate graphics, produce, edit and post distinctive videos that grow our audience, and collaborate with others to do the same. We are open to candidates who are on-camera personalities but also invite applicants who want to stay behind the scenes — what’s essential, either way, is that you are prepared to mentor colleagues who appear in video content and will collaborate to produce work that informs and resonates.
This job will be most meaningful to a creative thinker with a passion for experimentation, a drive for excellence, and a strong interest in the Jewish world. Your work will help viewers explain the news to their friends, provide context in group chats, and actively engage in conversations about Jewish life.
The range of videos you’ll produce could include:
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.
Founded in 1897 as a Yiddish, socialist broadsheet, the Forward taught generations of Eastern European immigrants how to be American. Publishing mainly in English since 1990 and fully digital since 2019, our news, culture and full-spectrum opinion coverage now reach more than 2 million people each month across platforms. We are a member-supported nonprofit and an Equal Opportunity employer that welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.
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 that describes the first three videos you’d want to produce in this role and includes a link to videos or a portfolio that represents your best work.
