• Coordinate with product and technology teams to ensure AI-generated content can be surfaced and integrated into website infrastructure.
• Stay responsive to the needs of multiple stakeholders while maintaining creative standards.

AI Standards, Legal & Ethical Oversight

• Ensure compliance with copyright, fair use, and GenAI legal guidance in all content.
• Follow ethical best practices in GenAI storytelling, including proper labeling, attribution, and bias mitigation.
• Maintain a working understanding of how each tool generates its outputs and related risks.

Knowledge Sharing & Enablement

• Create prompt libraries, templates, and internal guides for GenAI tools.
• Support training efforts across editorial and multimedia teams through demos, tips, or documentation.
• Serve as a go-to resource for GenAI experimentation and best practices within the newsroom.
• Any other requirements that meet the needs of the business

Qualifications:
