Role overview

The Associated Press is seeking a PM engagement editor to drive how our journalism reaches audiences during one of the most crucial parts of the news day.

This is a role built on speed, judgment and execution. You will be responsible for making fast, high-stakes calls about how AP journalism is presented, prioritized and distributed across platforms.

At the same time, this is not a passive curation role. You are expected to spot opportunities in real time — stories that deserve more prominence, angles that can be sharpened, coverage that can go further — and work with editors and reporters to elevate them.

Schedule and location

This role is aligned with U.S. evening hours and includes regular evening and weekend shifts.

Lead the AP News homepage during peak evening traffic, making fast decisions on story placement and promotion
Write and optimize headlines for clarity, urgency and search performance
Program push alerts that cut through and drive readership
Shape how stories are framed and distributed across social platforms
Use audience data to adjust coverage priorities in real time

Beyond execution, you will:

Identify stories that warrant greater visibility or a different approach
Work with reporters and editors to strengthen framing, headlines or packaging
Surface gaps in coverage or missed opportunities during your shift

Your job is not just to move stories. It’s to make sure the right stories land with the right audiences, at the right moment.

Qualifications

We’re looking for a journalist who combines strong editorial instincts with a deep understanding of digital audiences.

You should:

Have sharp news judgment and thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
Be able to make quick calls without sacrificing accuracy or standards
Write clean, compelling headlines under pressure
Understand how audiences engage across homepage, search, social and alerts
Be comfortable using metrics to inform decisions in real time

You’ll stand out if you:

Have a track record of making smart calls on big or fast-moving stories
Know when to move quickly and when a story needs another pass
Can influence coverage through collaboration, not authority
Think beyond the first publish and look for ways to extend the life and reach of a story

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
At least one year of experience as an editor, reporter or digital producer
Authorization to work in the United States
Advanced proficiency in written and spoken English; additional languages are a plus

Additional information

Lead Editor for Donor Campaigns (Remote/Hybrid) (Remote, US, 10281)

As AP News grows its reader donations program, this role will be central to its day-to-day success. Based in the newsroom and working with AP’s journalist colleagues, you will develop and execute fundraising campaigns across AP’s digital platforms, craft donation messaging tied to breaking news and ongoing coverage and manage email and newsletter campaigns that deepen reader loyalty and drive financial support.

This is highly cross functional and will collaborate with colleagues across revenue and product to scale AP’s donor program. It is an ideal opportunity for a news-minded professional with a passion for audience engagement and a track record of turning readers into committed supporters.

What We Are Looking For

This is the right role for you if you can —

Craft fundraising messaging to use across all of AP News’ digital platforms. You will create content for news-driven campaigns on our site, in newsletters and email and on third-party platforms — identifying ways to expand our supporter base through timely, compelling communication. Experience with fundraising communication, particularly in a nonprofit or mission-driven context, is a strong plus.

Capitalize on news developments to generate effective donation messaging. The ideal candidate loves being steeped in daily news and can craft compelling calls-to-action for live news cycles — from pop-up messages to notes from beat leaders. You will work with editorial teams from the outset of major coverage to develop donation messaging that feels authentic and urgent.

Manage email and newsletter campaigns with precision and creativity. You will oversee the editorial and fundraising dimensions of our email program, ensuring campaigns are well-timed, well-written, and optimized for conversion and retention, especially during year-end giving season.

Collaborate with product and revenue teams to support reader-revenue growth. While this role sits in news, you will work closely with product, data and revenue colleagues. You will contribute to the optimization of the donor user journey and provide input on what’s working editorially and resonating with donors.
