Editorial AI Producer

Job Title

Editorial AI Producer – Advanced Local

• Remote

$100,000 – $110,000 per year

Full‑time

• Work with reporters, editors, and newsroom leaders to shape AI‑related ideas into clear, buildable use cases
• Collaborate with developers to turn ideas into workflows, automations, or tools
• Serve as primary point of contact for AI liaisons in each newsroom
• Help prioritize requests, track progress, and share work across markets when possible
• Help design and run newsroom trainings, demos, and office hours
• Create clear documentation, guides, and examples so tools are easy to understand and reuse
• Identify successful workflows or experiments and help adapt them for broader use
• Reduce friction by standardizing processes, templates, and best practices
• Support early exploration of data‑driven or AI‑assisted storytelling ideas for audiences
• Help document learnings from pilots without locking into specific product promises

• This is not a pure engineering role – technical curiosity and comfort working with developers is essential.
• This is not a traditional editor role – strong editorial judgment and newsroom experience matter.
• The role is a bridge: part producer, part translator, part organizer.

• Degree in Journalism, Communications or related field
• Minimum of 5 years of journalism experience with a proven ability in reporting and writing
• Experience working in or closely with a newsroom, editorial product team, or journalism‑adjacent role
• Strong communication skills – especially the ability to translate between editorial and technical audiences
• Proficiency in adopting emerging tools and workflows (familiarity with AI workflow tools like N8N, Mind Studio or others is a plus; deep expertise is not required)
• The skills to manage multiple requests and markets without losing momentum
• A track record of experimenting with new tools pragmatically, focusing on utility rather than hype

Advanced Local has already built meaningful AI infrastructure for reporters. This role helps ensure that work is well‑documented, understood, and continues to evolve without becoming bottlenecked. The Editorial AI Producer will play a key role in shaping how AI is used responsibly and effectively in local journalism.
