Associate Editor, Legal

Forbes is seeking an enterprising, talented journalist who is comfortable with statistics to focus exclusively on legal lists and rankings. For over 40 years, Forbes has set the gold standard for lists, including the Forbes 400 and 30 Under 30. This position will sit within the editorial team and will collaborate with stakeholders across the company, including growth, revenue and SEO. You will be the central player in building new revenue-generating lists by designing high-quality quantitative and some qualitative methodologies and gathering data, seeking out external partners, using other pre-existing data and/or creating new internal datasets. Once the data is collected, you will lead the editorial process—analysis, reporting, writing and/or assigning and editing highly engaging and smart articles and profiles, collaborating with video, photography, social and more—to create clear, robust and compelling editorial content. You will be the voice and face of the list within the specific industry as well as for general audiences.
