Editor, Explainers and Trends

Forbes is looking for an experienced editor who can help build and lead a team devoted to news and SEO-driven explainers that are reader friendly and brand first. This is not an SEO job outside of the newsroom. It is a senior newsroom job for someone with a sophisticated understanding of search and trending news that can help us anticipate what people want to read about. The goal will be to deepen and expand Forbes’ coverage beyond the daily report, producing stories that draw readers for months or years to come, and building out a robust resource for the Forbes reader. Strong candidates will have a command of the various tools to identify emerging topics, and strong instincts about what readers need to know. This position requires an interest in the full range of news—a particular interest in business and finance helps—and an ability to cut through the noise and identify what matters. Strong editing skills, and a proven ability to efficiently oversee reporters and a schedule is essential.
