    • Train and support staff writers and outside contributors on how to use and optimize Forbes publishing tools.
    • Facilitate communication between Forbes editors and contributors. Work closely with staff reporters and writers.
    • Work with audience development to monitor traffic trends and help staffers and contributors to capitalize on it.

    • Find and recruit contributors at the direction of editors.
    • Monitor news and alert staff and contributors to aid their coverage ability.
