We help people move from keeping up to getting ahead—to feel in control, reclaim their attention, and become capable of even more, so they can do their best work and live their fullest lives.
Since 2014, Forte Labs has been teaching personal knowledge management through our bestselling books Building a Second Brain and The PARA Method, along with our courses, membership programs, and thriving online community. Our work has reached millions of people worldwide who are transforming how they capture, organize, and use information to achieve their goals.
Our YouTube channel is where that work reaches the widest audience. It is run by a small creative team that has built the entire production pipeline end to end—from strategy and packaging through to an AI-assisted editing engine of our own design. This role joins that team.
We're a small, intentional team guided by four core values:
Forte Labs is building out its creative team, and we're looking for our AI-first video editor to work directly under our creative leads. We publish one long-form video a week, and you'd be at the centre of that cycle. This is a rare opportunity to learn the full YouTube production pipeline and to grow into a core member of a small, high-performing team.
You'll start by taking over the parts of production that consume the most time, freeing our creative leads to focus on strategy and direction. Over time, and as you demonstrate capability, the role can grow toward greater ownership of the channel's output.
This role is broader than traditional video editing. We've built an AI editing engine on top of Claude that turns a single shoot into a main video, member content, and Shorts, and we iterate on it constantly. We expect you to learn it, adopt it, and push forward what it's capable of. If you turn out to be better at parts of it than we are, even better. We want to learn from you too.
